The Conga is a special taunt for all classes.
When activated, the character begins to slowly move forward at 50 Hammer units per second (roughly 16.7% of normal speed) while dancing the "conga"; this is accompanied by a light, repeated drum beat. If playing as a Scout, he also claps his hands above his head periodically. The player can rotate their character by pressing the strafe keys.
Any other player (including bots) can join any player performing this taunt by standing close to them and pressing the taunt button (default key: G), regardless of team or if they own the taunt. Other players see an icon above the taunting players' heads indicating that the taunt is active. The taunt can be spread throughout the players on a server even if the player who initiated it stops taunting or leaves the server and is not limited to two people. Pressing the taunt button again or jumping ends the taunt instantly.
Every player in the conga line does special moves, synchronized to the beat of the conga (for example, when the Scout claps, the Heavy does a kick). For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.

- On occasion, a player appears to be stuck in the Conga animation. This hinders gameplay in that the hitboxes do not correspond with the model.

Trivia
- The "conga" was originally a dance that was performed in the streets of Cuba. People in Havana were actually forbidden to do the conga due to the amount of adrenaline and excitement that fueled fighting in the streets near elections. Eventually, Cuban President Fulgencio Batista permitted the people to dance congas during elections, but with a police permit. Spy refers to this in a line where he says "Dancing! It is the forbidden dance!".
