Sorry for the obscure one. For reasons too boring to recount I can't use the desktop client for Teams so I'm running it in a browser (Edge) on a mac if that matters.
Anyway in the desktop client you can do a thumbs up, fireworks etc to acknowledge stuff happening on the call. In the browser version I can only see how to raise a hand.
Any ideas of how to get at the others?

Turn your camera on and do thumbs up / winking / mooning / coffee shaking sign is my workaround. Fireworks can be problematic though cos I have low ceilings. Your IT team is overreacting to the Teams vuln that means you have to use the browser.

Ooooh I'll play.

You have to use the browser becasue MS in their wisdom anly allow you to have one account on the desktop app.

hmmm, our new windows 11 laptops came with 2 versions of teams installed - one for work and one for personal use.

As to the thumbs up, it looks like you can't - I just tried and the desktop had the "reactions" option but he browser didn't

Can you use the meeting 'chat' function to transmit your emoji of choice?

It's true, you can, but it's incredibly lame.

Just type "I APPROVE!" in 22pt Arial Bold in the chat.

Oooof 😥

I like fireworks in teams almost as much as confetti in Trello 🙂

I actually think @cookeaa is on to something 🧐
