While you’re in a meeting, hover over Show reaction 
in meeting controls at the upper-right area of the screen, where Raise hand 
was before. It hasn’t changed and now appears alongside four live reactions, including Like 
, Love 
, Applause 
, Laugh 
and Surprise 
.
Note: Live reactions appear when using filters and backgrounds and in breakout rooms, but not in together mode or large gallery view.
Select the reaction that you want to express. Your reaction will appear for a few seconds in your live video feed or on your profile picture at the lower right.
If you or someone else is sharing content in a meeting, such as a desktop, window, PowerPoint deck, photo, video, or whiteboard, reactions will float up from the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. Corresponding reactions also appear on the profile pictures of participants who send reactions.
