Agree they look unprofessional and idiotic.

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!

2022-08-26T22:37:55+00:00 I just upgraded my computer, started to send an email, opened the emoji choices and was shocked that they had changed. They look terrible!! For now a smiley face will just have to be :) because the emojis are just too embarrassing. Please let us now how to revert back to the previous ones!!!

I'm on a Mac and the same keyboard shortcut that I use to bring up regular emoticons in my Outlook mail can be used in Teams. I use Control + Command + Space Bar. This brings up a menu of icons like you'd see on an iPhone. I use those instead because these new ones are absolutely ridiculous.

These two emojis have been replaced with something that is sub standard or just plain lazy.
Did MS run into copyright issues? Is it licensing?
