chat reactions and direct answers

Hi.

Unfortunately, I have no way to respond directly to chat messages in a meeting (for example, with emojis) or even respond with direct replies. When I move my mouse pointer over the message three dots appear where I have the choice between quote and copy. I am using a Mac. The help I have found online does nothing for me. Do I have to or can I change anything in any chat settings that I haven't found yet? So that I also have a small speech bubble and a small smiley when I go with the mouse pointer on the message.


thanks

I'm on a PC and I am having the same issue. Sometimes I can react on my phone, but other times not. I have yet to be able to do this on my PC, even when others in the same meeting have no issue. Hope this gets resolved quickly!

Are you still having this issue?  I cannot seem to figure it out either.  I'm on a Mac desktop also.

Thanks,

I uninstalled and reinstalled zoom, and that seems to have fixed it, at least on my laptop. I am not sure if that was actually the fix, or if it was just a phased role out, and I finally became part of it.

Thank you.  I’ll try that. 👍🏻
