Generally, the participants in a virtual meeting are requested to go on mute, and even asked to turn off their camera at times. This enables only the speaker's voice to be clearly heard without any other disturbance. At such times. If another participant wishes to add or ask a question, they can do so by simply raising their hand.

"In large meetings, this helps to increase participation while not disrupting the flow of the conversation and helps to prevent people from interrupting one another," Google said in a blog post.
