    How to Disable MacOS FaceTime Gestures and Reactions in a Webex Meeting
    list-menuFeedback?
    Starting with Sonoma MacOS, a new gestures and reaction feature has been added to the FaceTime application. These gestures are also recognized in a Webex Meeting and can be confused with the "Recognize Hand Gestures" Webex option.

    Mac users who have a tendency to give a thumbs up during a Webex meeting may have noticed something interesting starting with the release of MacOS Sonoma. In this release, FaceTime reactions were introduced and these gestures are also recognized within a Webex Meeting. Giving two thumbs up has a lot more flash than it used to!

    These gestures are not part of the Webex option - "Recognize Hand Gestures". You can read more about this feature from Apple Support.

    Follow the steps below to disable recognition of FaceTime hand gestures in a Webex Meeting:
     

    1. Launch and connect to a Webex meeting.
    2. Launch FaceTime.
    3. Click the green and white video icon in the menu bar.
    4. Click the Webex tab.
    5. Click Reactions so that the icon is gray.
