AdminAlex (Teams Engineering, Microsoft Teams) responded · June 12, 2019

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.

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,

This item is still on the backlog however, it is now part of the official roadmap.

Suphatra responded · October 04, 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 · 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. :-)

Suphatra

needs your feedback ·

Suphatra 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

Suphatra 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. :-)

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

Can we please get an update on this feature? Our business uses reactions in Slack to increase our productivity and trim our response time.

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!
