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 would be especially useful in Teams for Education.

Agreed. I have accidentally clicked on an angry emoji during a serious discussion when I was actually totally fine with the conversation !

That looks so unprofessional when the reaction gets clicked by mistake when copying text/hovering mouse over it. Request for an option in admin center where that can be disabled by Teams administrator based on organization's policy.

Please remove, or provide an option to disable, this feature. It is extremely annoying, very inappropriate and can cause great embarrassment in a corporate setting.

That's right. Copying text out of a message is a nightmare. Please change to allow for efficient use of Teams in professional environment.

Its most of the time accidental & annoying, keeps popping on every conversation text in the chat. Its degradation for official use.

The vast majority of my chat reactions are accidental and thus typically inappropriate (i.e. embarrassing).

These things are in the way, and 9 time out of 10 not appropriate for the profession discussions being held.

Yes, please! When I move my cursor to click a hyperlink in the chat, and before I can click the Reaction panel opens, and I instead click a reaction instead. Now that person thinks I love them or whatever other random reaction was clicked. I am never (intentionally) going to use the Reactions, so please give me a way to disable them.
