What you need to know
- Microsoft Teams now has a shortcut for raising your hand within meetings.
- To raise your hand, you can just press CTRL+SHIFT+K.
- The feature appears to have rolled out with version 1.4.00.2879 of Teams.
The raise hand feature within Microsoft Teams makes it easy to notify a presenter that you have a comment or a question. The feature initially rolled out in May 2020 and has since worked its way across Teams on different platforms. Now, you can easily raise your hand in a meeting with a keyboard shortcut.
Following a recent update to Teams, pressing CTRL+SHIFT+K will raise your hand within a meeting. Twitter user Selena Caamano first spotted the feature and shared screenshots on Twitter (via OnMSFT).
The shortcut also puts your virtual hand down, so you can easily tell a presenter that you have something to add and then put your hand back down when you're done.
The feature was first requested through a Tech Community post in May 2020. It appears that the feature rolled out with version 1.4.002879. My PC saw that update on February 18, 2021, so it should be available to everyone by now.

Should Microsoft consider full Windows 10 on the Surface Neo?
At this point, who knows if Windows 10X will ever ship. I'm more worried about the Surface Neo, which is at risk of never launching if Windows 10X doesn't. Should Microsoft attempt to ship Surface Neo with full Windows 10 instead? I think they could and should. Here are my thoughts.
