Need to disable Hand-Driven Reactions on MacOS

Need to disable Hand-Driven Reactions on MacOS (Thumbs up and 2 fingers on a meeting on MacOS can trigger fireworks, balloons, etc.)

We are managing MAC devices from Mosyle tool (Alternate of JAMF)

I want to disable this reaction feature for all the devices centrally on all the apps as this is Mac OS feature want to disable this feature on Mac centrally using a script.

I know we can disable it by clicking on Green symbol and click on reactions when an app id open, but we want to disable this from Mosyle portal the reason we need a Script.

I'm curious about this as well. To make features around this matter worse, I found that this reaction feature also triggers a window when Reactions aren't even available from the input source. I'd love to know how to disable this feature completely so I don't get bothered by the constant ask to enable a feature I can't use.

I've opened a Feedback Assistant ticket around this bug which should hopefully produce some kind of change that allows folks to leverage Property Lists to programmatically disable this feature.
