React to a message
Add or remove an emoji reaction on a message in a team
Last modified: 11/4/2026
A reaction is an emoji you add to a message, such as 👍 or ❤️. Reactions show how team members responded without sending a written reply.
Reactions update in real time. When anyone reacts, the change appears for everyone in the team right away.
Before you begin
- You must be a member of the team that contains the message.
Steps
1. Find the message
Open the team and find the message you want to react to. Each message shows its reactions below the text.
2. Add a reaction
- Select the add reaction button (a smile with a plus) at the end of the reaction row.
- Choose an emoji from the list.
Teamcomms shows "Reaction added" and the reaction appears on the message for everyone.
3. Remove or change your reaction
- To remove your reaction, select the reaction you added. Teamcomms shows "Reaction removed".
- To change it, choose a different emoji.
You can add one reaction per message. Choosing the same emoji again removes it, and choosing a different emoji replaces it.
How reactions look
- Each reaction shows the emoji and the number of people who chose it.
- Reactions you added are highlighted. Hover over one to see whether it will add or remove your reaction.
