Users can now use emoji to share reactions in a meeting.

These responses will appear on the sender’s video tile as a small badge floating on the left side of the screen.

Tech giant Google is rolling out emoji reactions on its video-communication service ‘Google Meet’ that will help users connect and connect with each other.

Users can now use emoji to share in-meeting responses in “Google Meet on the web, Meet hardware devices and iOS with Android coming soon,” the tech giant said in a Workspace Updates blog post on Wednesday.

These responses will appear on the sender’s video tile as a small badge floating on the left side of the screen.

In addition, when there are multiple user engagements, there will be an explosion of emoji on the left side of the users screen.

To share feedback, users need to select the smiley icon in the control bar to get the feedback bar.

Users can also hover over this bar to select the skin tone of their choice, which will apply to all emoji subject to color change.

“In-Meeting Reactions provides a lightweight, non-disruptive way to engage and participate in meetings without disrupting the speaker,” the company said.

“We hope these features make it easier for you, your colleagues and stakeholders to stay better connected and engaged, whether working from home, the office or wherever,” it added.
