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.
I completely agree with you @KB_116 - the emojis in the Teams chat are just awful. They look psychotic to be honest. The colorisation and design of the icons are some of the worst I have seen. I would kindly ask @microsoft to revert to the original emojis or use the same emojis as Slack / Messenger / Whatsapp.
Teams is a business environment, not a childish tik-tok app. It is ridiculous!
Yes, 50000. But for every person that took the time to come here, vote, etc, etc., there's probably 10 who saw the new emojis, smiled, and went on with their life. Let's not pretend this some scientific study one way or another.
Thanks for bumping! I missed that entirely.
The kaomoji menu has a category called "acting cute", which describes how the Teams emoji feel to me pretty well. Even for emoji, they feel chibi.
Or let us choose (or upload) icon sets for the emojis? Anything!
I cannot bring myself to use these in Teams, which maybe is for the better. But I do think they can help convey emotion in the written word, but the current set is not usable.
