RHTRH is an open source Chrome extension that raises your (virtual) hand on Google Meet when you raise your (physical) hand. RHTRH works with on any Chromium browsers for all organisations using Google Workspace.
Hey Product Hunt 👋!
My name is Francesco and I'm one of the creators behind Raise Hand To Raise Hand. RHTRH ✋ is an AI-powered Google Chrome Extension that allows you to raise your hand on Google Meet by raising your hand in real life.
Both my brother (my co-maker) and I come from Italy, one of the countries first hit by the pandemic last year. As a result, we spent a good part of our 2020 working from home behind a glass screen. We wanted to create something that made meetings in VC more accessible in 2021, trying to help to contribute to the solution of one of the biggest issues we experienced – everyone talking over each other. We Italians are notorious for using our hands when we speak so a simple button wasn’t enough.
RHTRH works with on all Chromium browsers for any organization using Google Workspace (it is compatible with Google Meet's "raise hand" functionality only – for now at least 🤫)
- 🔒 Privacy first: All the computing happens on the device itself. No image ever leaves your laptop!
- 🐝 All chromium browsers supported
- 🙋♀️ We have set up two working modes:
(i) School: We all got used to keeping our hands up to speak in school. That's how school mode works.
(ii) Meeting: Some of us prefer to keep their hands on their keyboards while waiting for their turn to speak. Raise your hand again to lower your hand on Google Meet. Rinse and repeat.
Choose your preferred mode
- 👨💻 Completely open source: Contributions and PRs are more than welcome on our Github page
Hope you like it! Let us know your feedback 👇.
Aren't you afraid that this feature will be soon shipped by Google Meet itself?
EDIT: I see that it's about rising physical hand rather than just clicking an icon. It's quite unlikely to be provided by Google straight away if ever.
@farynaio Exactly! At the moment RHTRH integrates with the "Raise hand" feature on Meet in Google Workspace. Other platforms on the web (e.g. Zoom, Teams) are definitely on the radar.

greeeat, most of my work calls are carried out via Google Meets, but will it be available for Zoom as well?
@victoriyalex Other platforms are on the roadmap. Give the success of the toll as a proof-of-concept, we are looking into the best way to integrate with other platforms. Do you use the Zoom app or do you take your calls in the browser?
woow, nice one! I'm worried about zoom increased by plugin.
Are we able to get rid of this zoom? :D Nice that it works also with "muted" camera.
Gesture for mute/unmute would be also great.
Possibility to school/meeting mode is really cool
Report
Are you planning to make that feature accessible for other communication tools as well?
@matthias_vos We are! We need to figure out a way to make it available outside the browser. We spent a couple of days crafting this MVP to see if people like it as much as we do!
