1. go to conference settings;
2. activate the "Allow participants to request the word" switch in the "Conference properties" block;
Working with functionality
The operating principle of the functionality in Vinteo Desktop and the web client is similar. Please note: to use the functionality when connecting to the server via desktop Vinteo Desktop must be version 3.17.2 or newer.
Word request by a participant
To request a word a participant must press the button on the call control panel in the form of a palm.
The 2-minute timer will be displayed above the button; the button has the indicator.
When a moderator confirms a participant's request to speak the participant will see the notification: "You have been given the floor." If a participant's microphone is muted the notification will appear: "You have been given the floor. Turn on the microphone." If the participant presses the word request button again the word request will be rejected by the participant himself.

Participants will be sent a notification confirming their word requests.
