NOTEAn in-platform emoji selector is available in Discussions and Tasks. The below methods still remain applicable for those and the other mentioned areas.

 

Sometimes you want to personalize your comments using emojis. In Jostle, you can add emojis in the Activity feed, Discussions, Tasks and for Events or News Items, including the title, body and comments.

  • When added to a comment with text, the emoji size will be uniform with the text.
  • When added to a comment without text, the emoji size will be much larger:
