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 completely agree. These are creepy looking emojis and I will no longer use anything other than the thumbs up. I am glad that you and others are being vocal about it. Microsoft has better things to spend their time and our money on other than reinventing emojis that were previously fine. I am hoping they will revert all emojis to the original version.

    Hi All,

    Agree with the previous statements - current emojis are horrible.

    Could you please come back to the previous ones? Or maybe set up themes to be chosen?

    Regards,

    Jakub

    I can't describe how bad the new emojis are. Please bring the old ones back!

    Why would MS felt a need for making change in this emoji's. I think this is in line with making MS team similar to Windows vista's horrible experience.

    MS should provide a way to revert it back.

    Bump +1, the new emojis are the worst. Please give option to use OS/system default.
