14 Google Hangouts Hidden Animated Emojis
Google Hangouts is one of the best ways to continuously stay connected on smartphones and desktops either via text or video calls. It is also home to plenty of interesting things like chatbots which you can add as contacts and make them do things like translate languages and do math for you.
On the not-so-serious side, you can also trigger easter eggs hidden in the Hangouts chatrooms. Typing text like lmao, rofl and woot will make animated emoji come to life. Here are some of the trigger words you can try out, and the effects to expect splashed across your Hangouts chatroom.

“hehehehe”
Haha emoji character returns, this time from the left side of the chat room, chuckling away.

Fox and duck returns with the same antics. No rolling in the chatroom reported, when triggered.
“woohoo”
Let’s celebrate, with flags!
“woot”
More enthusiastic animation coming from yellow emoji character.
“yay!!”
Note that this celebratory gesture only works with the two exclamation points included.

“/shydino”

If any of the animations are messing up your conversation in a continuous loop, just close the chatroom and reinitiate the chatroom.
