Zoom uses native emoji support in calls’ chat feature when used on web browsers and within apps for iOS and Android devices. 

This means that Android users see emojis from either Samsung (on Samsung devices) or Google (on all other Android devices), while users of of iOS, iPadOS or macOS see emojis rendered using Apple's emoji designs.

• 👏 Clapping Hands
