Teams - Revert to Classic Emojis

Anonymous

Greetings!

Microsoft Teams recently rolled out the Microsoft Fluent emoji style in Teams. This change altered all emojis and reactions across the platform and made them look incredibly displeasurable and unusual. In a business environment, I would venture to say the updated emojis are unusable due to the fact that they are so silly (for lack of a better word). I have thus far been unable to revert the emojis back to the way they were before this update; however, I would like to do this, as would my team. Is there any way to revert the emojis back to the way they were before this Microsoft Fluent emoji style update?

Thanks for any insight!

    I hate these new emojis and I can't use them in a professional setting. I have reverted to the windows ones where I want to use an emoji (windowskey + . (period) for anyone else struggling)

    Microsoft has now merged all the upvoted feedback into a "feedback collection' without consolidating the votes, or any links to the originals to allow them to be reviewed.

    Poor show Microsoft but I guess not surprising.

    I also find these emoji's to be distasteful and childish and would like a return to the original ones.

    The new emojis are absolutly horrible! I hate them and want "normal" emojis back. I will not use the new ones. Instead i will use text descriptions like "hadbangonthewall"

    Instead of "inventing" such useless things, Microsoft should take care about functionality! (e.g. I want to see the status of a contact before i click on "call")

    Please bring back original emojies, new look is too fancy and unnecessary for our work.
