"Google Meet's AI-powered hand raise feature detects real-life gestures"

Google Meet has launched a hand gesture detection feature that recognizes when a participant physically raises their hand during a video call and triggers a hand raise icon to notify others. The feature, available on most Google Meet Workspace plans, is off by default but can be enabled in settings. It only detects visible hands away from the face and body, and the hand raise icon appears in the participant's video window, moving them to the main grid for moderators to see. This feature provides a convenient alternative to clicking the hand raise button and can be useful in situations where participants are away from the computer or have dirty hands.
