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?

Peace sign
Isn't it funny that iOS has reactions for a Microsoft app before Microsoft has them?!?!?
So I already got the hang of
- one thumbs up - thumb up appears in an bubble
- two thumbs up - fireworks
And then today I made balloons appear by accident, but couldn't work out how that happened. What do you do to make balloons appear and where is the official guidance on this?
You have to make peace sign, like V.
@chelsey, this response is not correct. Reactions in Teams require user action. Those are controlled via policy in teams (enabled or disabled). However, the question @jayzar relates to a mac or ios capability where hand motions are translated into a 'reaction'. We cannot control that via Teams policies. It must be disabled by the user. Apple may bring a solution to allow disablement centrally, but I don't know for sure.
Balloons are with the "peace" or "victory" 2 finger V sign.
Here's a link to all of them. It's a iOS FaceTime feature that seems to work with Teams if you're using your phone camera (even if you're using it as your laptop's camera).
