Ability to disable chat reactions
Please provided a setting that would allow a user to disable the emoji reactions on the chat feature. This gets in the way when trying to copy and paste, or simply hovering a cursor over a message.

It is WAY too easy to click. If it required hovering for something like 1 second before showing up, that would do wonders, or if they were permanent buttons that don't just pop up, at least we'd not accidentally click them.

This idea was suggested more than a year ago, and nothing's been done about it?
Teams is not supposed to be another snapchat; it's a business productivity tool, and while some users do make use of reactions, the way they are implemented is annoying and in the way.The option to disable/drastically delay the tooltip popup, or relocating reactions inside the context menu would be very much appreciated.

I've never posted on a forum before but I feel so strongly about this I need to agree with everyone else, please give us a setting to disable these or put them in a right click context menu! They are super annoying and accidental reactions are embarrassing and time wasting to explain!

I agree with "I believe it is important that schools are given an option to turn reactions off. Students often use reactions as a form of relational bullying. They will react to certain students posting and not to others. This can become very isolating for some students who no longer wish to post their opinion as they fear no one will react. They are not appropriate in a school setting."
It is also very distracting when 1st graders are clicking away and disrupting class so that they can get attention, even if it is negative! -

When programmers were designing software UI back then, this could not happen. These days specialized UX teams are doing all that research how UI should look like and this is what they come up with? Accidental heart/angry emoji clicks when trying to copy text? Complete nonsense in business software...

Removing emoji usage in settings does not prevent using emoji in reactions. If I want to prevent for a Teams or a channel, that means I don't want someone use it..!
Teams can have emoji usage but should let me to disable it when necessary..!! -

Same with me, while hovering mouse on the teams chat window, accidently sent heart emoji to female collogue its truly embarrassing and had no clue how to explain the next situation. Its indeed in good faith for all TEAMS users to have an ability to disable the emoji's, at least non-business oriented to avoid misunderstandings on the communication chats.

This is incredible annoying. I have already sent accidental "heart" reactions to my boss!!!! And no way to remove. I tried to change to a thumbs up but that didn't work either.

Our company wants to enforce a simple strict org-wide policy: absolutely NO emojis allowed, period. Why cannot Microsoft understand that ?

I agree - It is not developmentally appropriate for adolescents and provides similar issues that social media presents to the developing brain. Please allow it to be disabled - not just for each post, but the option for Admin to turn it off completely would be great. Thank you.

Has anyone raised with Office365 support? Surely there is a way to do this via powershell.

Students really abuse this and this then has direct impact on their learning as they are disrupting the lessons with their constant reactions and notifications. A very poor decision to add this again I question if Microsoft have even thought once about how their so called VLE will work in a well established school as so far it has just given me set back after set back. Just another disappointment to the extremely long list.

Displaying the chat reaction icons on hover action leads to accidental click-ing on reactions when browsing or just clicking the messages.
The current behavior is very bad for User Experience!!
Please add an option to disable chat reactions: in settings area and in the drop-down menu on chat reactions bar.
