    Hi @KariLynn  thank you for your question in the Zoom community! Just to be sure we understand, are you wanting to upload your own emojis into Zoom persistent chat? Or Zoom in-meeting chat? Maybe both? We are definitely working to expand the emoji set available with persistent chat and in-meeting chat and it sounds like you would like to be able to upload your own emojis?

    Yes, this is a feature our Slack users love. Trying to convert more of them to Zoom chat!

    Please add custom emojis.... or at least a Thank You emoji in the short term.

    Anything new? We are just switching from Slack to Zoom and this is going to disappoint people. They really want to be able to use custom emojis.

    Hello there,


    Adding a custom reaction is not yet possible but you may now add a custom emoji to your Zoom Team Chat.

    To add a custom emoji to a Zoom Team Chat, you can do the following:
    1. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client
    2. Click the Team Chat tab
    3. Click the emoji icon next to the chat compose box
    4. Click Add to add custom emojis
    5. Drag and drop a custom emoji file or click Choose files to select a file from your system
    6. Enter a name for the emoji
    7. Click Add to upload the emoji

    Thank you and have a great day!

    That adds the image as a Sticker, not an Emoji. Clicking the Emoji icon next to the chat compose box does not have the option to "Add" emojis. What version of Zoom Workplace is this method supported, or is there an option in settings that needs to be enabled for this be available?

    Custom emojis has been a thing for months now! Similar to how they function in Slack. Thank you Zoom!

    Agreed! Why are we able to only use this in Teams chat but not the chat of a zoom meeting? That doesn't make sense to me 😞
