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!

The new emojis are just awful. They look like something is wrong. Please bring back the old ones!
If using Windows, go into a message field and click the Windows key and period key. It will pull up a more basic set of emojis you can select from that aren't so ugly. It's not quite the last set of emojis, but it's incredibly better than these new emojis.
The new emojis look like a run amok in Barbies makeup case.
Ok for children in TikTok - maybe.
But not suitable for business and - from my personal point of view - not really something an adult would normally choose.
I want the great emojis back we had before.
These new emoji's are atrocious! My entire ORG is complaining about them and thinking my staff or myself pushed these out! Microsoft needs to FIRE the team resposible for the UX/UI on these "new" emoji's.. the classic were just fine and were consistent across all platforms!
I have the same problem, however yesterday I noticed that if you use Win+. to open the same emoji-board as you use in Outlook, you can still use the old emoji in Teams. And they look the same on the receiving end.
Reaction emojis will keep looking weird.
