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!

    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.

    Horrible. I can't believe they could roll out something like this. They fit some ridiculous dating apps rather than a business app like MS Office.

    Teams is a business environment, not a childish tik-tok app. It is ridiculous!

    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.
