[Click here](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/increase-engagement-with-live-emojis-reactions#session_admin) to learn dashboard you can find the emoji reaction settings. Let your audience show their live reactions during the event with our new Emojis. Inside your webinar or event, attendees will be able to use emojis live to show their reaction virtually. This can be sending a clapping hand emoji to applaud the presenter’s point, a smiley face emoji to indicate their enjoyment, or a thumbs up emoji to agree with the general audience. Overall, it adds another layer of fun for everyone.  ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/UPjG1QCht2dMFPKz32BB5kRf1yd5XkcVLUlhPEldWRzI0OVLaQWq5PC65up_aN4ZFQ_aK2C6ZJO2Ctp_2_ax7rT6VWWGopodkBBBgX0qQmUMvYhzgZ0FyuHPVa09ELLnxM48Gu3O7vnmbhQQuv0nyF4bwzIKKnukEDk_YSFqdwqP2i3b0NoJLsUZL4GpaQ)  To enable and configure the emoji reactions, go to **Engagement \> Interactive Tools** then to the **Reactions **tab. Enable the feature and decide which emojis that attendees will be able to use. ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-04-2026-06-53-04-4279-PM.png?width=600&height=215&name=image-png-Feb-04-2026-06-53-04-4279-PM.png) Once this is enabled, you can enter into the Studio using the preview room or into the actual live room. From there go to the **Host Control Panel** and look for the gear (⚙) icon for the engagement settings, and scroll down to the Emoji settings. From here you can specify which emojis are used by clicking on where it shows how many are activated ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-17-2025-07-28-17-0490-PM.png?width=277&height=482&name=image-png-Apr-17-2025-07-28-17-0490-PM.png)        ![](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-17-2025-07-29-01-9368-PM.png?width=321&height=425&name=image-png-Apr-17-2025-07-29-01-9368-PM.png) When an attendee uses the emoji, it will show inside the room for the presenters. This will be as a stream of emojis, similar to reactions on a Facebook stream or Google Meets. For any reactions sent, BigMarker will record those actions. You'll be able to see how many reactions users sent in the [**Analytics Report**](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/downloading-your-reports?hsLang=en) or [**Custom Reports**](https://kb.bigmarker.com/knowledge/create-custom-reports-to-track-specific-analytics?hsLang=en). If you need a detailed breakdown of which attendee sent which emoji and when, you can find that in the **transcript** report. ### Emoji reactions in the classic admin On your webinar or session’s **Manage Webinar** dashboard, you will simply need to enable **Audience Reactions Input** within the engagement settings. ![Screenshot 2023-01-20 at 5.31.07 PM](https://kb.bigmarker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tech%20Doc%20Images/Emojis/Screenshot%202023-01-20%20at%205.31.07%20PM.png?width=600&height=117&name=Screenshot%202023-01-20%20at%205.31.07%20PM.png) -
