Any way to disable emoji reactions from participant?

Meeting SDK Type and Version
Current

Description
I would like to know if there is a way to prevent “emoji reactions” from appearing on a participant’s rendered video in my Meeting SDK application. i.e., A participant using the standard Zoom client joins the meeting and their video is rendered within my Meeting SDK app. When they perform a hand gesture that triggers a “reaction emoji”, this emoji appears in the top-left of the rendered video. This is not desirable and we would like to prevent that from happening if at all possible. I do understand that in some cases like macOS Sonoma and higher this functionality may be built in to the OS and be outside of our control, but it’d be nice to know if it’s a lost cause or not.

Hi @alexm
Thanks for reaching out to us!
You can disable emoji reactions in the web portal so it is disabled for all meetings or at your account level

Head to the setting tabs and look for the meeting reactions settings and make sure to disable it

Thanks for your reply. We were able to make use of this response to resolve the issue, but if such a feature could be added to the API it’d be great!
