Our chat feature can help facilitate this type of scenario. We also support the use of emoticons like (thumbsup) and (thumbsdown) to agree/disagree on a given topic. I have attached a screenshot, so that you can see it in action.
Give it a try and let us know what you think.

The "raise hand" feature is really synonymous with older web conferencing solutions. However, when Blue Jeans extends beyond our 100 participant capacity we will be addressing this user experience to make it easy for the participant, but also for the moderator.
@Stuart is 100% correct, our chat feature is perfect for this in addition to the participant physically raising their hand on video.
Here are the shortcuts for emoticons.

Thank you Rob!

Some way to control the mics as well as see who has a question chronologically on the same screen would be REALLY helpful. We have another conference like the one today coming up in a couple weeks and I am going to have to work really hard with the other users to make sure QA runs smoother than it did today. Any assistance or update on this would be appreciated.

Was this a meeting with a bunch of AVer EVC100s participating? If so, do you know what kind of speakers were being used?

Any update on this? The problem with doing this through the chat feature is that there is no way of tracking who has been addressed. There is no queue created only a string of people in the chat that may have questions/comments. If multiple people want to ask questions AND there are people chatting, the moderators job becomes a full time line moderator. If they are also the one answering questions, this quickly becomes chaotic.

To add to this I would like to see an option to raise hand added the meeting control menu of a video conferencing system as well as maybe a two character code from a phone to raise that participants hand as well.

We use BlueJeans for internal company meetings, we are a highly distributed company, so the lack of this feature makes the meeting experiences less optimal, leading to a somewhat aggressive meeting culture where people need to interrupt other people to be able to get a word in at the appropriate point in a meeting, etc. The "hand raise" feature would improve meeting coordination and culture.
If this isn't a feature a lot of people need, make it configurable so that those who need it for their meetings can set it up.

Currently we support raise hand feature in our primetime product. Attendees can “raise their hand” if they want to interact live in the meeting (be able to speak and be seen).

I can take this as a feature request for our standard meetings.
Thank you,
