Ask or answer a question during a training session or meeting

Some hosts and presenters use the Acrobat Connect Pro emoticons and audio (telephony or VoIP) to ask attendees questions during a training session or meeting. For example, a host asks a question, multiple attendees raise their hand using the emoticons, the host gives voice rights to the topmost raised hand in the Attendee List, and the attendee answers the question using VoIP.

When you select the Raise Hand emoticon, your name is moved to the top of the Attendee List. If multiple attendees raise their hand at close to the same time, the person who raised their hand first appears at the top of the list, then the second person, and so on.

  1. In a training session or meeting, click Raise Hand in the raise hand toolbar.
    The raised hand emoticon   now appears next to your name in the Attendee List. All attendees can see the emoticon.
    Note: If you select another status, such as Agree, the new emoticon covers the raise hand emoticon in the Attendee List.
  2. (Optional) Before a host or presenter accepts or declines your raised hand, you can lower your hand yourself by clicking Raise Hand again. This can be useful, for example, if a question is asked, you raise your hand to answer, but another attendee is selected to answer the question.
  3. One of the following occurs:

    • The host or presenter declines your raised hand and you receive a message.

    • The host or presenter accepts your raised hand and you are given speaking rights. The VoIP toolbar appears on your screen next to the raise hand toolbar and you can use the VoIP toolbar to begin speaking. Alternatively, in the audio notification message you receive from the host, click Speak Now and begin talking using telephony or VoIP. (If you decline the notification message or do not accept within 8 seconds, the notification message disappears.) When you are finished speaking, the host or presenter can revoke your speaking rights.

  4. (Optional) If you are speaking and want to share your computer screen, ask the Host or Presenter to give you screen sharing rights. This can help you clarify a question you are asking or enable you to provide extra information to the group. When you are finished screen sharing, you press Stop Sharing.
