Below the Audio and Video buttons is the Communication Toolbar that contains icons/buttons that you can use to communicate with others in the session. Communication Tools:

The Hand tool allows you to raise their hand if you have a question. A symbol will appear beside names of those who have raised hands along with a number indicating the order in which they responded. The green check and red x allow you to answer direct Yes or No questions. The Laugh and Applaud buttons allow you to express some emotion during the meeting. If anyone you need to leave your computer for a few minutes, you can click on the Step Out button to let others know you are away. The Attendees window indicates the Presenters/Leaders and the Participants in the session. Your name will always be at the top of the Participants list, just below the Leader(s).

These tools are always available to you throughout the session.
