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.

This feature will make a company or team glow even it's working by remote. We need this IMMEDIATELY!

6 potential emoji reactions is super-lame (early 2021)... let's bump that up to 600, and make them searchable.

This would be great to be more like Slack, where you can react with anything. Our team uses this feature a lot.

We need more emoji reactions NOW! It's seriously getting repetitive and boring to give one of the same five reactions over and over again. Please provide an update on when this will happen. Our department is planning to move to Slack where its features are superior in every way. The only reason why we still use Teams is because it's integrated into every other Microsoft product we use. Please hurry with this update!

There should be a way for an admin to configure which emojis can be used as a reaction. This lack of customization if quite disappointing!

Please allow full range of emojis and custom emojis for responses to messages. Come on guys. If slack can do this, you can do this too.

Can we please make all emojis available?
This will be a no-go company-culture wise, we'd love to have all emojis available and will not move to MS Teams until then. -

This is ridiculous! People are asking questions in teams and we can't even respond with a thumbs down. Slack is a superior product. I'm going to swap to Slack.

The Teams emoji are even more limited than Skype!! Where is my lucky clover? My glass of wine? Please, just do like Slack, Apple, everyone does and provide a full emoji set.

Skype allows customising emoji reactions. Should be simple to do in Teams also. Would be nice to expand the number of emojis in Teams too. It is incredibly limited compared to Skype and other messaging platforms.
