Use a wider range of emoji reactions in Google Meet
What’s changing
Google Meet users now have access to the full emoji library for reactions in Google Meet. Reactions let users engage with the content in a meeting, share meaningful feedback or praise, and celebrate company culture all through emoji.
A user sending Emoji reactions “Heart on fire” and “Party face” from the extended set
Getting started
- Admins: The feature will be ON by default for users. Admins can change the default setting at the domain, OU, and group level.
- End users: If enabled by your admin, the feature will be available by default on web and Android. For other platforms, please see the Limitations section. Meeting hosts and co-hosts can turn it off using host controls. It is possible to turn off the full picker but keep the current emoji bar with a more limited selection of reactions. Visit the Help Center to learn more using reactions in Google Meet.
Limitations
- Meet Rooms hardware will not have the extended Emoji selections available but will be able to receive and display reactions from the extended Emoji set. The currently existing options will remain available to send reactions. Joining the Meet call with companion mode from your personal device will enable you to send reactions from the extended Emoji set.
- Live stream viewers will not have the extended Emoji selections available but will be able to receive and display reactions from the extended Emoji set. The current existing options will remain available to send reactions.
- On iOS devices, the capability to send reactions from the extended set will be added at a later point in time. On the initial rollout, iOS users will be able to see reactions from the extended set sent by those on compatible platforms.
- Organizational custom Emojis are not supported.
