Windows 11 tests putting an emoji button in the taskbar.

The new button opens up a panel where you can quickly access emoji and GIFs, similar to what you can already do with the Win + . keyboard shortcut.

Microsoft is also testing the ability to trim screen recordings with the Snipping Tool. The changes are rolling out now to the Beta Channel in Preview Build 22635.5015.
