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!

    Maybe some people over at Redmond are still using 800x600 screens?

    Seriously, that's the other issue of those emojis

    Well I guess MS is happy to lose their business client base over this. The new emoji's are dreadful and not fit for business at all. Time to explore non-MS alternatives.

    There are thousands of comments here about how awful these are, along with Reddit and many other public forums. Almost nobody disagrees how terrible the new emojis are.
    It's a trivial thing to focus on, but I have to hope that Microsoft will see their mistake after so much feedback.

    This is the worst change to Teams I've seen. The icons are garbage. Hard to tell what they are. They are creepy and unprofessional. What was Microsoft thinking with this needless change? I expect much better.
