We just started testing this feature internally. It looks great!

I’ll let you know as it progresses through the validation rounds.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays.

Sincerely,

Suphatra responded · Oct 4, 2017

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.

Suphatra responded · Jul 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 ·

Suphatra responded · Apr 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

Suphatra responded · Mar 8, 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. :-)

Suphatra

Can't wait for this to come out! I'm also wondering if you have a release date in mind!
Mike McCarthy commented · March 15, 2019 9:54 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Hi Suphatra, Teams team, how is testing going? Any idea of a release date yet for this feature? My team would love to know!
Anonymous commented · March 13, 2019 8:04 AM · Flag as inappropriate

I saw a tweet that this was implemented but I don't see it on my Teams.
Nola 111 commented · March 12, 2019 9:02 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Any updates on this? This is our user base's biggest request after transitioning from Slack.
Anonymous commented · February 21, 2019 12:05 AM · Flag as inappropriate

More than one year work on this issue still no results. Great job.
Armand commented · February 20, 2019 12:55 AM · Flag as inappropriate

looking forward to it, thanx microsoft
infotechie commented · February 17, 2019 6:59 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Any guess when external folks will start seeing this feature? Definitely looking forward to it!!
aoi commented · January 28, 2019 3:51 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Great to hear this is being worked on!!!! Thumbs up!!!!
Curtis Schumacher commented · January 18, 2019 7:38 AM · Flag as inappropriate

So excited this is being worked on! We moved from Mattermost, and there are a ton of features that Teams lacks. This feature makes inter-personnel communication much more fun!

This is a real must have to change from slack. --> Voted!
Anonymous commented · December 14, 2018 11:24 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Have the ability to respond to comment with emojis other than thumbs up. Slack was WAY better in this area. You really limit individual communication when our only reaction is thumbs up
Anonymous commented · December 11, 2018 7:50 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Agreed - this is a "must-have".
Angel Navarro commented · December 3, 2018 9:15 AM · Flag as inappropriate

any news about this?, we still waiting for :/
Szilveszter Szebeni commented · November 16, 2018 6:02 AM · Flag as inappropriate

If Teams had this feature (and custom emojis) I would be able to push to change from Slack in my organization. Right now the push back would be just too big.
Sean Ellis commented · November 16, 2018 2:27 AM · Flag as inappropriate

If implemented, the additional reactions available must not take up any more space than the current one.
