today in a meeting on teams, someone accidentally put their thumb up and on my screen, an animated thumbs-up popped up. it was in a blue chat bubble and the thumbs-up was white so it wasn't like the normal thumbs-up. also during that meeting, the person moved and an animation of fireworks popped up behind them. They could not see these animations but everyone else in the meeting could. They took the meeting on their iPhone. Could anyone point me in the direction to get more info about these animations?

    The fireworks live reaction is not available in all versions of Microsoft Teams. It is currently only available in the latest version of the app for iOS and Android devices. If you're using an older version of the app, you won't see the fireworks option.

    You can check which version of the Teams app you're using by going to Settings > About. The version number will be listed under Version.

    If you're using the latest version of the app and you still don't see the fireworks option, it's possible that your organization has disabled it. You can check with your IT administrator to see if this is the case.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Kind regards,

    Jayzar

    ..because they are still ultimately accountable for the user experience in Teams. They support the software on the Mac platform and should at least be aware of unintended side effects generated by hardware & software interacting with their system. It is my experience that Microsoft has a poor track record of understanding this point throughout the totality of their product lines, Teams being just one example.

    In a Teams call, swipe from top right corner - and select Effects, from here you can disable reactions.

    See https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/use-reaction-effects-facetime/ for screenshots (Works the same for FaceTime and Teams - settings for the 2 apps are however independent)

    Within the settings of the FaceTime Camera, deselect the reactions button.
