# Animated emoticons

Flying and disappearing emojis for the highest engagement

Available for all users; can be disabled through the admin panel: Settings > The chat customisation > The interface elements.

The panel with animated emoticons lets users share emotions without sending a message. The animated reaction stays visible to all users in the chat for 1 or 2 seconds, then disappears. By long-pressing the emoji icon in the lower right corner of the chat, users open the emoji panel. They can choose a reaction and send it anonymously. After sending an animated reaction, users must wait 400 m/s before sending another.

You can use a default set or upload your own emojis. Remember, the system uses the same emojis for message reactions and animated emoticons.
