# Media Item — Emoji

The LiSA Player sends a media item emoji message to indicate that a media item has received a user reaction through an emoji interaction.

### Properties

Along with all standard [Media Item message properties](/developers/guides/player-communication/message-api-reference/media-item.md#properties), an **Emoji** message includes the following additional properties:

<table><thead><tr><th width="243" valign="top">Name</th><th width="192" valign="top">Type</th><th valign="top">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><code>messageType</code></td><td valign="top"><pre><code>Literal
</code></pre><p>Required.</p></td><td valign="top"><code>lsc:media:emoji</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Legacy Properties

{% hint style="warning" %}
If your integration uses **LiSA Player Version 1**, none of the properties described above will be available.

For **LiSA Player Version 2**, legacy properties can be ignored.
{% endhint %}

<table><thead><tr><th width="197" valign="top">Name</th><th width="190" valign="top">Type</th><th valign="top">Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><code>action</code></td><td valign="top"><pre><code>Literal
