Microsoft are rolling out Reactions for Teams, which will allow you to react to other participants.

By mid-March 2021, this will be available to everyone using the Teams desktop and mobile app.

What can I do?
You will be able to choose from 4 reactions:

• Like
• Heart
• Applause
• Laugh

You can send these to meeting attendees from the new reactions and raise hand flyout in the control bar.

You will see the reaction displayed over each person’s image.

If content is being shared, then you’ll see the reactions float over the screen:

This new feature will be on by default and is another step from Microsoft to give the remote working experience even more of the personal touch – will you be using Reactions?
