Lower my hand

During the curriculum review call, lower my raised hand so the host and other teachers stop seeing my indicator. Do not change my microphone or camera state — only remove the hand signal immediately when I say so.

Before I lower my hand in the middle-school staff meeting, make it clear why — indicate whether I'm lowering because I was called on, I no longer need to speak, or my question was answered in chat. If it was answered, attach the chat timestamp. That helps the host trust the change and keeps the record accurate.

I just cleared my hand during the department meeting, but colleagues kept asking if I had more to add. The host may have missed that I lowered it or believes I'm still waiting. I can't tell whether the UI change propagated or whether social cues expect me to speak. What's the likely cause and the best immediate action to stop the interruptions without seeming curt?

I repeatedly forget to lower my hand after my point is made, and meetings stall while hosts try to confirm whether I still want to speak. This costs five to ten minutes across sessions. What habit and check should I implement so my raised-hand state matches my intent and meetings run on time?
