    This is vital for some visually impaired students we have, please can it be sorted ASAP?

    using streaming dock with shortcuts is a must for remote learning for kids. I cannot create a button to raise the hand if there is no shortcut for it. It is a shamr since it is once of the most used actions for the kids in their virtual learning.

    Please add a shortcut and move the button out of the three dots menu. Also this: Better yet, allow users to pin it to the screen so it appears next to mute, etc. For Kindergartners using Teams for school, having to click through the three dots is difficult.

    Likewise i cant see how this isn't a shortcut at time of implementation.

    The raise hand feature is being used by my 6 year old's school (remote learning) So i build a quick Arduino "button box" to emulate a keyboard input to see if that would help.

    I build it for mute, raise hand and full screen.

    Only the 1st in that list has a keyboard shortcut . . .

    Please add a keyboard shortcut to toggle raise hand in the android app (as used on Chromebooks).

    Another vote to toggle hand raise via keyboard shortcut. Also, Teams should "publish" an official Stream Deck profile.

    This would be very useful, especially as there are times where some of our users have reported not being able to reach the button in the tab-order after some time in a meeting. To be fair, *all* buttons should have documented keyboard shortcuts from an accessibility perspective - myself as a magnifier user, and some of the other users in our organisation as screen reader users all find this lack of shortcuts very frustrating.

    This would be a great feature and make the 'raise hand' function much more useful (and more accessible).

  • Peter D commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I've just been looking for this shortcut myself. Would be a great feature to add!

    I'd find this really helpful as it is quite disruptive to my concentration to have to tab through the various controls and listen to my Screenreader to find the Raise Hand, when I am trying to listen to someone speaking. It should act as a toggle, so in addition to raising your hand it would lower it as well. Alt u anyone?
