Hello, I had an interesting idea to enhance the Zoom user experience. I love the ability to add custom background images! I also noticed reactions: the thumbs up and clapping reaction. I love the use of emojis with reactions, and I was wondering if I could request a feature where you can add your own custom emoji or text reactions. I just realized this feature is available in the chat section, it’d be super cool to add it for the zoom conference! Thank you so much for your time. Jonathan lllllllllll Jonathan lalala @test ---

I am part of a events company and we just got off a call where we were talking about how this would be amazing to have. We are looking for other options to use like a slack channel or use while in the zoom call. ---

Great feature on Slack that our team used extensively before our org banned the app. Zoom has been a great replacement for us and custom reactions would be welcome. ---

Hi Tommy, same question for me. My meeting had a coffee cup, haha can’t remember the others… guess I will go get my coffee now… 🤪☕ ---

The presenter has no clue how they got added. A coffee cup is one of them. If the 3 dots are clicked on it show maybe a handful more or less. ---

What is the difference between non-verbal feedback (Raise hand, yes, no, go slower, coffee cup etc) and reactions? ---

Your looking for the “non-verbal feedback” option. Enable it. It will be at the bottom of the “Participants” window. ---
