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.

Please remove it. That mouse hover popup is extremely annoying.

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. -

Same here, also a user of TTS. I copy my messages to the clipboard to have them read out to me. I accidentally clicked those reaction at least 3-4 time per day. So many time I had to explain to people that I'm not angry or in love with them.

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.
