Respond to Teams Messages with Multiple Emoji Reactions

The need for more nuanced responses to Teams chat and channel messages can apparently be met through multiple emoji reactions instead of a basic one-emoji response like a smile or thumbs up. In any case, users can add up to 20 emojis in response to Teams chat and channel messages. The possibilities of what 20-emoji combinations might communicate are endless, or so it seems.

    I feel like this is a bug not a feature.  If someone asks me to get lunch and I respond with 👍👎 then what does that mean?  ambiguous

    I am using Teams in my phone and I noticed I can react with multiple emojis on the same chat message when using my Microsoft account. However, when using the same app but with my work account, I'm unable to do so. This behavior is the same even when using Teams web. Is this new functionality account-based?

    Haha! Our team just got the updates and we absolutely love the feature. I’m really curious to see the Teams developers’ reactions when this feature pops up in their list. 😂😆🤫

  • Yep, one emoji just isn’t enough sometimes. Thankfully, Teams now lets us react with up to 20 emojis, finally a way to express more than just a thumbs up!
