Description

In a school setting, sometimes a person raises their hand and wants to speak. Usually everyone would turn their heads to look at that person. To simulate a similar behavior, and in a call where people have the participant list open, they would see who just raised their hand and could click on that person's row to see (follow) their video directly instead of having to look for that person in the video grid or stripe.

Done means clicking a participant row consistently shows that participant's video without requiring grid navigation.
