Understand participant groups

Participants are organized into groups based on their current status:

• Raised Hands – Participants who have raised their hand. This group only appears when one or more participants have a raised hand. 
• On Stage – Participants who are currently on stage.
• Viewers – Participants who are watching the session.

Click the arrow next to a group to expand or collapse it. For larger groups, click See more or See less to change how many participants are displayed.

Manage a participant

Use the search field at the top of the participants list to find a participant. As you type, matching participants display along with the group they belong to.
