We had some resource constraints so we’ve had to stop work on this and move it to the backlog. Work should resume in the winter.

Thanks to you, we’re starting work on this! Thank you so much for this suggestion and we’re super excited to bring it to you in the coming months.

AdminSuphatra (Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams) responded · July 25, 2017

We had to pull resources on this to focus on quality and performance work. This is still on the roadmap but being pushed out a little bit. Will let you know when it’s back to “working on it.”

Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re actively working on this and we’ll have an update for you soon. Please continue to provide feedback in the thread — we’re listening!

Thank you for being so supportive of Teams. :-)

needs your feedback ·

AdminSuphatra (Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams) responded · April 26, 2017

I need your feedback!

Which would you rather have and why:

1. A small selection of the most popular emojis, all work safe.
2. A large selection of all emojis available, for example like as many as Facebook provides.
3. A medium selection that compromises between option 1 and 2.

Add your voice to the thread!

Thanks,
Suphatra

AdminSuphatra (Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams) responded · March 08, 2017

Good news! This is planned. If this makes you happy, tweet me an emoji on Twitter at www.twitter.com/skprufo. The best ones will get retweeted. :-)

Sincerely,
Suphatra

I switched from Slack to Teams and this is the feature that makes me want Slack back
Anonymous commented · May 18, 2018 11:42 · Flag as inappropriate

This would be really helpful, we did this constantly in slack and it didnt disrupt the flow of conversation. Now, all of the emojis are done via reply and are HUGE and take up way too much space.

Warren let's go bro. this can't be that hard. hire some more engineers or something.
Nick commented · May 01, 2018 05:44 · Flag as inappropriate

Our organization uses this a lot with Slack currently. Supervisors are able to react with eyeballs, letting the analysts know their question was seen and is being reviewed. Analysts are able to react with check marks when completing requests from supervisors. Quick polls can be made by instructing people to react with red or green dot to vote. Simple things like this not only help our workflow, but add a bit of fun as well.

I don't emails that you're not doing anything either. Honestly Microsoft Teams is the worst product with the worst support. :\
Anonymous commented · February 14, 2018 08:49 · Flag as inappropriate

It's not overly helpful to get email telling me there's no update. We aren't using Teams anymore but I don't want to "remove my support from this idea to stop receiving these emails" because it's still a good idea. How come I can't just unwatch this issue?
Anonymous commented · January 16, 2018 09:00 · Flag as inappropriate

If nothing else, allow a handful of responses like iMessage does
Anonymous commented · November 14, 2017 06:09 · Flag as inappropriate

Option 2, like Slack
sohail Safdar commented · October 25, 2017 02:11 · Flag as inappropriate

Adding emjoi , Microsoft have resource constraint. I was thinking after so postive feedback you will highly prioritize it.
Matej Kastner commented · October 24, 2017 01:34 · Flag as inappropriate

Not only Slack, but FB have same feature - people can directly react on messages and not in new message
Hannes commented · October 16, 2017 07:33 · Flag as inappropriate

It would be awesome to have something like in facebook where you can 'like' a post with 'love', 'angry', 'wow', 'sad' etc.
It always feels awkward to like something where someone writes about things that don't work and/or are frustrating etc.
Pavol Donko commented · August 22, 2017 04:09 · Flag as inappropriate

Just do it already! :)
For starters at least with some emojis like are on Skype. And please add it also into chat. Its frustrating be able to react in one part of the single application and not be able in another.
Wayne Ramsay commented · July 25, 2017 15:29 · Flag as inappropriate

also a bitmoji plugin would be great
Da Tao commented · July 10, 2017 13:06 · Flag as inappropriate

If you guys can quickly add a thumb down, it would be appreciated :D
Andrew commented · June 14, 2017 11:52 · Flag as inappropriate

my team makes a lot of use of slacks react and custom emote options, including multiple people "voting" on a reaction; if enough of slacks features are taken ill fully dump slack in favour of teams
Jonathon Wyza commented · June 13, 2017 10:03 · Flag as inappropriate

Can we have Reactions in Chats too, not just channels?
Joseph commented · May 25, 2017 08:49 · Flag as inappropriate

Option 2

Option 2
Carolle commented · May 18, 2017 16:52 · Flag as inappropriate

Option 2! But it's okay to start with Option 1 and then get to Option 2.
