- Hi Tanya,
Thanks for sharing. I am really into Teams for Education.
There is currently a user voice open with Microsoft to introduce the raise hand feature.

I voted! I would recommend you also vote and try to drive users to sign up to this so it gets Microsoft’s attention. It could be a while before they review it though.
In the meantime for Polls you have the third party app Polly. You should also be able to use Microsoft Forms where there is a quick poll.
And to confirm with Invision on the Whiteboard. I use this a lot and it’s great for mind mapping too.
Hope that helps. If I have answered your question please like the post and mark it as the solution! Hope to help again!
Best, Chris
Thanks Chris!
Until we have a native solution for raise hand, could you think of an alternative that we can use to replicate the functionality?
I am trying to reach out to the broader audience via this forum so that I can hear some interesting perspectives!
Just a thought about a 'raise hand' alternative... If you're doing a 'live event' instead of just a regular meeting - it comes with a moderated Q&A feature. That's not exactly the same thing as raise hand, but it could be used as a way for the moderator to control traffic and verbally pass the talking rock to whomever makes sense next.
