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!

    Absolutely the worst Emojis anyone could come up with. Who created these? A seriously disturbed person or a kid?

    If you cannot fix it, please bring the old ones back!!! We need a professionally looking tool and this set definitely does not qualify for it!

    I'm afraid it's not possible to revert to the old emojis at the moment. There have been several requests to bring back the old style and I invite you to upvote or leave a comment on any of the links below.

    Very ugly emojis they don’t express well the emotions. I’m disapointed that MS produced something like this.
