You can now use emojis to share in-meeting reactions in Google Meet on Web, and iOS, with Android coming soon.

These reactions will show as a small icon in the sender’s video tile and floating up the left side of the screen. When there are multiple reactions, you will see a burst of emojis on the left side of your screen.

To share a reaction, select the smile icon in the control bar to get the reaction bar. You can hover on this bar to select the skin tone of your choice.

You can now reply directly to any message in new Google Chat spaces and some existing spaces in an in-line thread.

This creates a separate in-line thread where smaller groups of people can continue a conversation on a specific topic.

To start an in-line thread, mouse over the conversation you wish to reply in thread to and click on the 'Reply in Thread' icon that pops up.

You can now create custom emojis to make them even more expressive and personalized.

You can create custom emojis in the web versions of Chat or Gmail by navigating to the “Create” button within the emoji picker.

There, you can upload an image of your choice and give it a descriptive name, and then use your custom emoji while sending or reacting to messages in Chat.

Note: Custom emojis you create can be viewed and used by everyone within the same domain.
