Emojis can be inserted into the title of rooms, group chats and entries
Emojis help clarify the meaning of a text and are fun to use. For more variety and clear, easy-to-read titles, you can add emojis to room / group chat names and the titles of your entries (e.g. tasks or individual views). The emojis are not only displayed in the room / group chat but also in the sidebar and in My Week.
Procedure
As soon as the page opens, a list with numerous emojis appears. To browse through all emojis, simply scroll down (e.g. by pressing the space bar). If you're looking for something specific, you can also jump directly to the desired emoji group (e.g. "People") via the top of the page or search for a keyword (e.g. "Heart") via the magnifying glass icon + Enter.
Use shortcuts / the search to find emojis
Note: The emojis are supported on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Depending on the operating system, the appearance of the emojis varies. Unavailable emojis are represented by a black rectangle. In our examples you can see how the emojis are displayed on Windows.
Once you've found an emoji you like, left-double-click on it and copy it to your clipboard using Ctrl + C / Cmd + C. You can also right-click on the emoji after selecting it and click "Copy" in the pop-up menu to copy the emoji.
Select the emoji and copy it to your clipboard
Afterwards, switch back to the room / group chat / entry on Stackfield with the name you want to add the emoji to and click the corresponding text input field. Now, you can simply paste the emoji into the field with Ctrl + V / Cmd + V. Alternatively, right-click and select the option "Paste". Confirm your selection with the Enter key or by clicking "Save".
