Google is rolling out emoji reactions for Meet, allowing participants to send out reactions to colleagues while on calls. According to The Verge report, the reactions will float up the left side of the screen and will burst if multiple people use the same ones.
Users will also be able to view which participants reacted via the small emoji badges. To start, the tech giant is introducing the heart, thumbs-up, party popper, clap, joy, astonished, thinking, cry, and thumbs-down emoji. The feature is available on Google Meet web, iOS devices and Meet hardware devices. It is expected to extend to Android devices in the coming weeks.
