Microsoft Teams update will add new emoji features

Microsoft will add a feature to Teams that users have been waiting years for: the ability to respond to messages with multiple emoji at once. The feature will be available in June as part of a pre-launch, and will later be available to everyone.

For now, you can only put one reaction per message in Teams. That limitation has long been criticized by users, especially against the backdrop of competitors like Slack, where multiple reactions have long been the norm. Now Microsoft has officially confirmed that the feature has been finalized, with a release scheduled in the coming weeks.

According to the Microsoft 365 roadmap (feature ID 491468), the new feature will allow you to express a more «rich and nuanced response» without having to write a separate message. The company did not specify the maximum number of emoji that can be attached to a single message.

The feature will first appear as a preview version and will be included in Teams test builds as early as June. After that, it will become available to all users as part of the global rollout. However, the dates are subject to change as they depend on the stability of the builds.

Teams users have repeatedly left requests on Microsoft’s official feedback portal, and have also discussed the lack of the feature on Reddit. It’s particularly ironic that a similar feature used to be available on Skype before it was finally shut down.

The update is designed to make communication within teams easier and more flexible. Employees will now be able to express emotion, mood, or agreement without words by using multiple emoji at once.
