Inspired by the spontaneous nature of digital reactions, this interaction works across platforms like Zoom, YouTube, Teams, and more, ensuring that every emoji is showcased as it’s sent.
This interaction is ideal for highlighting moments of excitement, gauging audience sentiment, or simply adding a playful touch to your presentation. In this guide, we’ll explore how to set up Emojis Everywhere, customization options, how to run it, and frequently asked questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Emojis Everywhere Collect Responses?
Emojis Everywhere automatically detects emoji characters in chat messages from platforms such as Zoom, YouTube, and Teams, converting them into animated icons that appear on the screen in real time.
How Does It Work in the Presentation Live Screen?
Once activated, Emojis Everywhere displays incoming emoji responses as dynamic, animated icons that pop up on the Presentation Live Screen. The emojis animate as they appear and gradually fade out, ensuring the display remains lively yet uncluttered.
Can You Customize the Emoji Display?
Yes! You can customize the background color of the emoji word cloud, or add a background image, and you can also customize the heading font and color.
What Happens if a Lot of Emoji Responses Come in at Once?

Creating an Ad-hoc Emojis Everywhere Interaction
What’s the Purpose of Creating an Ad-hoc Emojis Everywhere Interaction?
An ad-hoc interaction in StreamAlive allows you to launch audience engagement features instantly during your live session, without planning them in advance. This is perfect for capturing spontaneous input and adding an extra layer of fun to your session by displaying emoji reactions in real time. (If you’re new to ad-hoc interactions, check out this help article for more details.)
Why Use an Ad-hoc Emojis Everywhere Interaction?
While you can integrate Emojis Everywhere into your presentation ahead of time, running it as an ad-hoc interaction gives you the flexibility to capture live emoji responses precisely when you need them.
For example, if you’re discussing a lively or emotionally charged topic and want to gauge your audience’s reaction visually, you can trigger Emojis Everywhere on the spot. This ensures that the emoji display reflects the current sentiment and energy of your session, rather than relying on pre-set responses.
By using an ad-hoc Emojis Everywhere interaction, you engage your audience in a fun and spontaneous way, showcasing their real-time reactions as dynamic emoji visuals. This not only adds humor and energy to your presentation but also creates a more dynamic and emotionally resonant discussion.
