Express yourself in chats and meetings

Personalize your emoji and reactions

In chats, channels, and meetings, you can send emojis to express yourself.

1. Select Emoji   beneath the message box. 

2. At the bottom of the pop-up window, choose one of the emoji galleries like Hand gestures or People. Look for the emoji that include a grey dot in the corner—these can be personalized for different skin tones.

3. Right-click an emoji (one with a grey dot) to open a series of variations for that emoji and then choose the one that you want to send. 

4. Once you've selected the item you want, it will appear in the message box. When you’re finished, select Send  .

React in real time to show your support in meetings

• Select Send a reaction   at the top of your meeting window and choose from the following:

  • Like

  • Love

  • Applause

  • Laugh 

  • Surprise

Your reaction will pop up momentarily at the bottom of your meeting and over your profile picture or video feed.

If you or someone else is sharing content in a meeting, 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.

Send a video clip or voice message

1. Select Record a video clip    beneath the message box.

2. Select the white circle, Record or select Audio and then select the microphone icon near the bottom of the capture screen. 

3. When you're done recording, select Review.

4. When your video or audio clip is ready to go, select Send to drop it into the chat.
