I'm looking for a way to detect raised hand of an online meeting participant using API.
I found there is a list of participants https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/meetingparticipants?view=graph-rest-beta, but so far nothing related to raised hand.

    AFAIK, i am not aware we have an API for this. Being said that, you can consider file an user voice, so that Teams Product team can consider implementing it or upvote an existing item, incase if it exists. Here's the link !!

    Was there any response from Microsoft to this request? Or is it possible in the meantime to retrieve the information (that a participant has raised his hand) via some kind of API?

    Hi all.

    I've created an open source approach for this use case.

    Please check out my github repository: https://github.com/maehw/ms-teams-hand-detector

    Feel free to contribute and give feedback.

    Cheers,
    Matthias
