allow any emoji as a reaction, not just thumbs up
Slack has this: get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/206870317-..

Adding any emoji as a reaction remains under review.
I am marking this as partially done to let you know a new reactions bar with Like, Heart, Laugh, Surprised, Sad, and Angry has begun rolling out to all users.

Please fully implement! The small set is not expressive enough!

It seems you don't get how useful this actually is. If our sales team wins a deal an automatic message in Teams is created. In Slack people could celebrate/cheer/joke/etc. about this news simply by choosing the right Emoji. This is all gone now to a "thumps up". This alone could be a reason for my org to switch back to Slack.

At minimum the emojis need to be able to express 'yes' and 'no'. Thumbs up serves as yes but we are stuck using the angry face as 'no' which is not ideal.

I would definitely like to also see at least a green checkmark, and red "X"

I need a checkmark emoji as a feedback reaction for the author that I have done this task.
Commenting every message is not usefull.
(Microsoft Planner in Teams isn´t good for a lot of little tasks also you cannot attach screenshots) -

We need a completely done, no just a partial solution. What we need is to allow all emojis to be used as a reaction :)

A checkmark is considered a neutral reaction. Confirming that message is read and understood, not necessarily endorsed, liked or disliked. Could be really good!

A checkmark would be so helpful. We just want to be able to have users acknowledge that they have seen a post without making it look as if they endorse it.

And custom emojis too please. This is a Slack key feature, Teams should have this feature too.

We also moved from Slack and the lack or reaction emojis is our biggest complaint. The "eyes" are really important to show you have seen the message. As many as possible. Like our phones.

When are we getting more emoji's??? Also would like to customize what emoji's are available for Teams...The Angry emoji seems inappropriate in some ways and promotes negativity in a work place. Just my 2 cents. Definitely need the :white_check_mark:

I wouldn't mark this as "partially done". This kind of ignores the main request. We would like to have the option to implement any emoji. This is not Facebook, this is a communication platform "like" Slack.

i must admit that it's really pleasing to have 75% of my company saying that the current reations are pointless and that there needs to way more choice !
why not just implement at least Emoji 11 or 12 ?
https://emojipedia.org/emoji-12.0/this has been under going testing or over 9 months, i think it's about time we got told the exact situation so we can inform correctly are colleagues and are clients...
