Now in public preview: Automatic lowering of a user's Raised Hand after speaking
I am also wondering how we can turn this new feature off.
Currently we raise hands to indicate that someone has not yet spoken for a parking lot during scrum, and the order they speak is determined by the order they raised their hand. Often, there are several people with hands raised, and sometimes people would respond to what an earlier person has said, but still have their own parking lot issue they want to discuss. The automatic lowering then removes that person and resets the shown position in the queue for speaking if they re-raise their hand.
Currently, the only workaround I have is to set "Noise suppression" to "Off", but then we no longer have the noise suppression functionality. Please add a way to disable this feature altogether.
It would be really nice if, rather than totally disabling it, there were a way to just set it so that the prompt is to lower your hand, rather than prevent the automatic lowering. This way, it still reminds people to lower their hands once they've spoken, but doesn't automatically do so if they miss the prompt.
Another solution (to my issue at least) would be to allow setting it so that only the person who is number 1 in the queue has their hand automatically lowered, though this may still cause issues if they start a more involved conversation.
Zshandi It's like you have been in our meetings. We would even be happy for an option to turn it off at the meeting level as I can see for meetings that are classes or presentations of that sort it would be useful but for scrum/collaborative things it's disruptive. It's interesting to see others that have evolved to using it exactly the way we do.
