Thank you again for helping make Miro better!

Please return the toggle off button for reactions. It is distracting to all using the board and I only want to activate it when I need to use it..Please

Desperate teacher

Please return the toogle off button. This is a real problem for education settings.

Hi there,
totally in support of this - not all students like to work constructively.
In some classes the disappearance of the reactions off feature makes Miro unusable.
Please bring it back!

It feels like you have programmed reactions in Miro and despretly want that everyone is going to use it, but instead you turn us off from Miro. Because with this “feature” it’s not longer an educational tool!

The feature to turn off reactions needs to be returned. The boards are useless when there are just a couple of viewers spamming reactions. I don’t want to recreate my boards on a new platform but I'll have to if I can’t use the boards I have because a few people are just spamming reactions.

any news regarding this?

Why remove this feature, very frustrating. 

I’m now looking at alternatives like classroom screen

Seconded. Very frustrating to deal with spamming notifications with no way to turn it off. This is enough to make Miro unusable in my context. 

Very much in need of this function

I also use Miro for Education. I haven’t personally had students spam reactions nonstop, but I can definitely see how that could become a problem. Having the option to turn reactions on or off would be a helpful feature.

Yes please! I knew there was a button for this and I kept searching. Please put it back in!

Board owners and educators should have the ability to disable live reactions entirely. This is particularly important in educational settings, where maintaining focus is essential.

Please bring back a simple option to turn live reactions on or off for all participants.

definelty an important feature for collective work with the wider community.
