In addition to virtually raising your hand in a Teams meeting, it’s now possible to express yourself in other ways to help make Teams meetings more inclusive, engaging, and fun!
While you’re in a meeting, hover over Show reaction
in meeting controls at the upper-right area of the screen, where Raise hand
was before—it hasn’t changed and now appears alongside four live reactions, including Like
, Love
, Applause
, and Laugh
.
Note: Live reactions appear when using filters and backgrounds and in breakout rooms, but not in Together mode or large gallery view.
Next, to share a live reaction with everyone during a meeting, hover over Live reactions and then choose the reaction that you want to express.
Your reaction will appear for a few seconds in your live video feed or on your profile picture at the lower right.
If you or someone else is sharing content in a meeting, such as a desktop, window, PowerPoint deck, photo, video, or whiteboard, reactions will float up from the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. Corresponding reactions also appear on the profile pictures of participants who send reactions.
Notes:
-
If live reactions aren’t available, check with the meeting organizer or IT admin to see if the feature has been enabled.
-
Meeting organizers can turn off live reactions in participant settings.
-
Live reactions aren’t currently available in the web version of Teams.
