Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays.

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.”

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. :-)

Would be fantastic to have this feature, a number of teams at our company leverage the multiple Slack reactions to understand where a post is at from a workflow standpoint.

Ex: (1) agent from one team messages a group with a question (2) agent from the messaged team marks the message with "eyes" to let everyone else know it's being reviewed (3) marks with a check mark once it's complete

Hurry up *******
Ravi commented · May 17, 2019 8:49 AM · Flag as inappropriate

We definitely need this.
Jon commented · May 16, 2019 6:22 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Any update on this?
Anonymous commented · May 10, 2019 6:06 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Do it, or we continue with Slack.
Anonymous commented · May 9, 2019 6:03 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Please do not do this.
Amira Budiyano commented · May 8, 2019 4:42 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Please make this happen. We are counting on you, Microsoft Team! It is very hard to react to a comment made by a fellow team member. Chatting on platform like Teams help us to communicate better and being able to react appropriately helps the communication even better. Definitely looking forward to this feature!
Ryan Ersland commented · May 3, 2019 9:59 AM · Flag as inappropriate

This is my top feature request. As a frequently remote employee at an organization that previously used Slack, I feel that reactions are invaluable. They provide a low-stakes way to participate in a conversation without the visual disruption of a new post, playing a roll similar to body language in a face to face conversation. A rich vocabulary of reactions is a critical ingredient for bringing meaningful human interactions and team culture to a platform like Teams.

I'm glad to hear that you're making progress! You'll make a lot of users like me very happy when this becomes generally available. 🏆

is this being validated yet?
Anonymous commented · May 2, 2019 5:01 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Yes, would like this too! So handy to have it in Slack currently, would be nice to have in Teams also.

Hi, Suphatra! Could you tell when this feature will be added?
Anonymous commented · April 19, 2019 2:20 AM · Flag as inappropriate

Update at all please?
Daisy McCormick commented · April 18, 2019 2:54 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Any update on this? I've seen it in some clients, is there a way to turn it on?
Glenn Mckenna commented · April 9, 2019 11:08 PM · Flag as inappropriate

4 months testing... Is this addition just not working for Microsoft !?!
Dylan commented · March 24, 2019 10:32 PM · Flag as inappropriate

Can we please get an update on this feature? Our business uses reactions in Slack to increase our productivity and trim our response time.
bmsomega commented · March 19, 2019 8:59 AM · Flag as inappropriate

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.
