Teams - Revert to Classic Emojis

Since the flat emoji have also been removed from the Windows + . combination, sharing the new posts on the MS Feedback forum demanding the return of the flat emoji:

The previous links added to this post seem to have been archived or outright deleted. Seems MS is ignoring the request, but we can at least make it come back again and again until they're forced to listen.

Thank you!!!!! This is the answer I've been hoping for for a year and a half. Cheers!

You can also use other Emojis using the keyboard shortcut "Windows + .".

(Hold windows key and then press the dot.)

A window should open with another style of emojis.

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 :(
