Reactions & Emojis in Events

How attendees react with emojis and chat, and where reactions are available.

Event attendees can react to live event content through chat messages or through emoji reactions. Emoji reactions can be sent through the emoji icon in the event toolbar in livestream, hybrid, meetings and 1:1 match events, along with roundtables and breakout rooms.

Disabling Emoji Reactions

The emoji reactions can be disabled at any time by the admin event organizer, or event attendee.

Admins and Event Organizers - In Dashboard

Event organizers and admins can disable emoji reactions entirely in livestream and meeting-type events from the event dashboard.

On the General Info page, toggle the Toolbar Reactions (emoji) setting to 'Off' and no participants will be able to send emoji reactions.

Note: This setting can be disabled ahead of the event during event creation, or in real-time during the event.

Event Attendees - In Live Event

If an event attendee chooses to disable the reactions in a meeting or livestream event, they can by selecting the emoji menu icon in their toolbar, and toggling the Reaction 'off'.

This will stop all emojis from appearing immediately and they will not be able to send emojis in reaction, either.
