summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Viva now allows organizers of Engage events to disable reactions, preventing attendees from using emojis or reaction icons, and this feature is available across Android, Desktop, iOS, Mac, and Web platforms.
Direct effects for Operations**
User Engagement
Disabling reactions may lead to decreased user engagement during events, as attendees cannot express their feelings or feedback in real-time, potentially making discussions feel less interactive.
