How To Raise Your Hand in Zoom on PC, Mobile, and Web

Zoom is the virtual hotspot for friends, family, and even companies that use the application for communication. When a group of people is attending a meeting, someone would like to express their opinion in their discussion.

Though we have Microsoft Teams and Skype for business at the front, Zoom is the leading choice for many users across the world.

You can stream high-quality video with clear audio. Using filters in Zoom is an added advantage that is liked by many users.

Zoom provides better video and call quality, quick recording of meetings, and screen sharing. There are still many reasons why Zoom is making its touch with a large number of users.

During Zoom meetings, you can politely raise your hand for asking a question. Once the host accepts your request, he/she will allow you to give your input. After you have finished your discussion, you can lower your hand in the same way.

If the host doesn't want to allow any questions from anyone before completing his speech, he can have the ability to lower your hand. The host will be simply notified when someone raises their hand. Then host can lower the questionnaire's hand from his end in a Zoom meeting.

The larger the meeting goes, there is valid the reason for using this feature. Personally, I feel that the raise hand feature in Zoom helps the team members to participate actively in a productive discussion.

The raise hand feature is very helpful for remote employees, group discussions for job candidates, online ministry discussions, and much more.

How To Cancel Two-Step Verification on GoDaddy

GoDaddy is one of the most popular domain registrars in the world. For an online business, many people prefer GoDaddy because of its robust services including 24/7 customer support. Securing your GoDaddy account is a must like securing any other online account.

Having a domain for your blog or business provides an online identity. If you have lost your authenticator app on your mobile and so you're looking for help, you are at the right place.

How To Find Out if Someone is Using Your Pictures to Catfish

Catfishing online is a popular blackhat tactic for predators who pretend to be someone else. People use celebrities' pics as their profile pictures in order to avoid sharing their own pictures online. This is really a good idea to protect yourself on social media.

The main goal of catfishing is to obtain financial gains from other people. By keeping your profile picture on their profile, they can act like you and can communicate anything with your friends and colleagues. 

If they are involved in a financial scam, you will be getting into trouble without knowing what is going on. This is a big privacy issue for people who use social media. For celebrities, this may not be an issue because they allow their photos to be copied online. 

However, for common people, this is not the case. Stealing your identity online should be reported and before that, you must be aware of this.

Since we collaborate with our friends on social media, we need to be careful about sharing our pictures. It is important to safeguard your privacy.

How To Disable URL Copy-Paste Feature on Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge browser is growing very fast and competing with Google Chrome. For Windows users, Microsoft edge is a gift and an alternative to Internet Explorer. The Edge browser has changed the way how the copy-paste of URLs works.

If you want to have auto-hyperlink functionality, you can use this feature in Edge Browser. This auto-hyperlink feature is very useful when you want to send a link to someone in a professional way via Email. However, this hyperlink feature may not be useful if you want to share only the plain text of the link. 


Sometimes, the copy-paste feature does not work as expected when you copy the URL of a poorly optimized website. Some URLs cannot be properly converted into a nice hyperlink.

If you copy-paste the URL taken from a properly optimized website on Microsoft Edge, you will see the advantage of this feature. It eliminates the manual hyperlink task most of the time.

Example

Our website URL is https://www.techrolet.com/ 

When you use the URL copy-paste feature on Microsoft Edge, the URL will look like this: Techrolet

This feature will work on many online platforms including Microsoft Teams, Slack, Outlook, and other browser apps. You can also use this feature and paste the auto-hyperlinked URL in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc. All you need to do is to copy any URL using Edge browser and test the feature by pasting the URL on different platforms.
