Reactions and Responses
There are two separate sets of tools for participant reactions and feedback. Reactions can be found at the bottom toolbar during a Zoom meeting. The other group is located at the bottom of the Participants panel, which we will call "Responses".
Responses and Reactions behave differently, so we have put together a table that compares and summarizes these feedback options and how they function.
| Reactions | Responses | |
|
Location (to give feedback) |
Reactions button in the Zoom toolbar |
Participants menu |
| Location (to view feedback) | Participant video windows |
Raised hand will appear in the participants menu and participant video windows. All other responses appear only in the participants menu. Host can see how many participants choose each response. |
| Clearing Feedback | Disappear automatically after 5 seconds | Remain until the participant or host clears the responses. Responses can be clearing by clicking the response again. The host will also have a "clear all" button in the participants menu. |
| Host vs Participant | Same reactions are available to everyone |
Host can not raise their hand. All other responses are available to host and participants. Host can clear all responses. Participants can only clear their responses. |
| When to Use | Quick, informal feedback | Designated Q&A time and/or if you would like all participants to respond. |
