This past year has taught us two great things about meetings and productivity. First, video calls or conferencing apps can be a lifesaver. And second, people miss the physical presence of their colleagues and need it to perform at their best. Collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams have done an exceptional job of providing us with a rewarding virtual work environment. And now they’re doing their best to make virtual life feel as close to real life as possible.
Using reactions in Microsoft Teams chats and meetings
Teams has released personalization features throughout its lifecycle, but hasn’t paid much attention to emojis, aka the reaction mechanism. Today, we’re taking a look at their latest attempt to change the system. We’ll tell you all about Live Emojis in Microsoft Teams.

Like any other video calling app, Microsoft Teams has always offered the ability to react to emojis, although not during live video conferences. Now, with the latest update, Microsoft is making the art of reacting feel as natural as possible. By the way, you don’t have to do anything to get the update. It will be an OTA update as usual and will be available to both free and paid users.
