Last updated on March 07, 2022
As a host, a moderator, or a participant sharing your screen, you view and manage nonverbal reactions shared by participants during a RingCentral Video meeting on desktop and web. You can lower hands, remove feedback, and view participants who share meeting statuses or feelings.
There are different types of nonverbal reactions:
- Raise hand: Raise hand to get the attention of the host, moderator, or presenter.
- Feedback: Asks the host, moderator, or presenter to Slow down or Speed up and react Yes or No.
- Status: Set by participants to show if you will Be right back or are Multitasking.
- Feelings: Share feelings with an emoji. Choose to send a thumbs up, applause, surprised, laughing, or sad emoji.
