Use emoticons in Lync for Mac

Emoticons are graphic images that you can use to express emotions in an instant message conversation.

You can add emoticons in two ways:

• Click in the conversation window and choose the emoticon you want.

• Use a keyboard shortcut.

Notes: 

• Unlike other Mac applications, you cannot add custom emoticons or emoticons from other applications to Lync for Mac. For a list of more emoticons that you can use in Lync for Mac, see the article Keyboard shortcuts for emoticons.

• To turn off emoticons, on the Lync menu, click Preferences > Appearance. Under Emoticons, clear the Show emoticons in instant messages check box.
