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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Absolutely the worst Emojis anyone could come up with. Who created these? A seriously disturbed person or a kid?
If you cannot fix it, please bring the old ones back!!! We need a professionally looking tool and this set definitely does not qualify for it!
These new emojis are horrible. Maybe nice for young kids when they chat, but absolutely not suitable for professional use. Please roll back or at least let people have a choice. The animations are extremely annoying and distracting. Besides that, on my Mac the animation loop ends in a 'blank' period. So all the butt-ugly things are A) moving and B) constantly flickering. It makes Teams absolutely unbearable to have open.
I really am at a loss how somebody in his right mind could approve of this change for a business application.
I've commented and voted on all 3 links above, but my question is...will the votes be aggregated as the posts are all about the same issue?
No, the whole idea of these forums is to make it hard to link together common customer complaints, so that they can claim that not that many people care, and think they are doing a wonderful job and everyone loves their software.
I often sit there crying at my work desk whenever I see these new emoji. My work has suffered so much so, that now my boss now send angry emoji at me which in turn makes me cry more. It's got so bad over the recent days that I'm now suffering from severe dehydration to the point where I sit there without tears and just make sounds.
I've done it on every one ;P
