I was on a meeting yesterday (Sunday, December 11th) and some popup informed me I now had animated reactions or emoticons. Sure enough...the hands clapping were clapping...it was cool. But, I cannot find any documentation or settings for that feature now.

Hi @vegasdood,

I completely understand, I would have thought the same thing. I just learned that we were pushing this back a week last Friday.

Hello,

I have the exact same message and request as the above user: TT8 - Listener. I am part of a chronic pain and illness fellowship. We have SO many zoom meetings and are so very grateful for ZOOM bcs it means we can meet and connect (a lot of us are house-bound) with others all over the world. However this new animated emogie default setting is disturbing to some members with head injuries or other specific illnesses. It is a nice feature but could you restore the default setting for the emogies to be not animated. But rather give people the option to change their setting to animated. In our groups we would just make a blanket request for people to not do the animated emogies. Zoom is a life line for our groups. alternatively: Is there a way for a specific member who is disturbed or made ill by the animated emogies, to turn off the feature so that she does not have to see other people's animated emogies. (I see that there is a place to turn the animated emogies off so that I don't create any but wonder about one person just blocking them altogether for their own health issues. Thank you

Hello @Jadedetrey,

If you check the reply that I sent to TT8 there is a way to change this in the account settings. Let me know if this is going to work for your group and thank you so much for not only using Zoom, but for letting us know of your situation. We truly appreciate the feedback.

Regards,

Brandon
