I think it would beneficial to have a button that would show the rest of the participants that you have a question. This is helpful when in a presentation and the person with the question does not interrupt the presenter/speaker who has the floor. The indicator could be anything from a colored border around the video feed to an icon.

We currently get around by stopping every so often and ask each endpoint if they have a question, which is time consuming and not as professional as it could be.

Hello Jay, there is documents on video conferencing etiquette which is very beneficial for new users. This helps with folks talking over each other in meeting. Please contact me if you can not find any information on video conferencing etiquette.

Hope this helps,
Mark Reaser

  Although etiquette documents are very good, there are also times when a senior in the company will just over talk someone to ensure that their point is gotten across, so I'd agree with Jay that this is a feature which could be beneficial

    I think this being left out is a leftover from when it was impractical to have large video meetings and you never really had more than a small handful of participants where you could see everyone's hands. Any decent phone conferencing system has this, because it's obviously really important when you have no visual way to interject either. Right now most people use a "second channel" like a some form of chat software or something (Skype chat being most popular here).

Hi wdoyle. Would you know if this feature request is moving forward or not? I have had two potential customers in the last week for whom this would be a major deal breaker to go with Lifesize or not.

  Hey Christoffer,
  This feature is still on our client roadmaps to implement, but we do not have any ETA to share at this time. Once this moves to In Development we'll have more info to share (ie - functionality overview, release dates, etc).

Hi,

I am currently researching additional moderator capabilities for our products here at Lifesize. This is a very important topic to us, and it appears that it is also important to you.

I’d like to invite you to participate in this 15m research survey on what Moderator Controls matter the most to you. It will take about 15 minutes to complete, but can be submitted and returned to edit your responses.
https://forms.gle/WowXf39BZpA7fgKq6

We’ll be closing this survey at the end of the week. Friday April 5th.

(But if you aren’t able to complete this by then, simply fill out your information at the beginning of the survey and submit it. So that we may follow up with you.)
