You can choose from 8 emojis to give instant feedback: thumbs up, clapping hands, celebrate, smile, haha, wow, sad, and thumbs down.
When you click an emoji from the Reactions
menu, the reaction appears in the lower-right corner of your video thumbnail. Others see your reaction in the lower-right
corner of your video, when your video is in their view. When your video is not in others' view—for example, when someone is
sharing content or when the meeting has too many participants for the meeting window—your name and reaction appear in the
lower-left corner of the meeting window so that everyone knows how you're feeling.
This feature is available on WBS40.11 and later sites. To find out which version of Webex Meetings you're using, see Find Your Cisco Webex Meetings Version Number.

Gesture controls allow you to use reactions without the need to select them from the Reactions menu. Get the meeting host's attention by physically raising your hand or encourage the speaker by giving them a thumbs up. Once Webex recognizes your gesture, it's shared with everyone in the meeting.
There are three hand gestures that you can use to create a reaction: thumbs up, thumbs down, and clapping hands. Reactions
that recognize hand gestures are outlined in the Reactions
menu. You can also raise your hand using a gesture to get the host or speaker's attention.
We've put together information about the Webex versions, operating systems, and computers and devices that support hand gesture recognition. If your computer or laptop doesn't meet the requirement, hand gestures won't be recognized.

Where you select the emoji for reactions from depends on your device. For iOS and Android phones, the emojis are in the More menu. For iPads and Android tablets, they're in the Reactions
menu. When you tap an emoji, the reaction appears in the center of your video thumbnail. Others see your reaction in the
center of your video when your video is in their view. When your video is not in others' view—for example, when someone is
sharing content or when the meeting has too many participants for the meeting window—the first initial of your name and the
reaction appear in the lower-right corner of the meeting window so that everyone knows how you're feeling.
