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!

    Thank you! I voted on all three pages. I hope they either change it back or give users the choice to choose the set they like. My colleagues who work on PC don't have the new set. I am a Mac user and mine has changed.

    I'm so sad to say, they're not listening. I just got a new PC at work, and now I can't access the classic emojis on any of the Microsoft products. It's horrible - the only option are those horrible "new" emojis that look nothing like they should. All attempt to inject a little bit of life into text is now gone :(

    And there might be another 42 who saw the new emoji, hated them, and will never use them again and didn't come here, vote, etc, etc. All we know is what we know.

    These new emojis are super creepy and are harder to see. They are unprofessional and unusable in a business environment. Please revert back to the old smiley emojis.
