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!

Isn't it the point that they look, "silly".
There's a difference between looking cartoonish and clearly expressing an emotion, and looking muddy and like every "guy" has a black eye as the most prominent "emotion" being expressed.
Except they didn’t get shut down. They were heavily rebuffed, and chose to ignore the outcry.
They’re playing the 800lb gorilla card: We’re Microsoft, we don’t make mistakes and we don’t admit failures. You will accept what we do, though you’re welcome to complain all you want. We’ll just reorganize your complaints and turn off the voting so it doesn’t affect our stats.
Isn't it the point that they look, "silly". If they didn't look silly, they wouldn't be emojis. Have you ever seen an emoji that didn't look silly? And how does that make them unusable? God forbid we have a little laugh in the drudgery of our everyday digital experience making money for other people. If people didn't like them, maybe they could use the ones they do like and let everybody else enjoy themselves? The headbanger is now gently bumping her face into a brick wall. It looks stupid and makes no sense. Can't blame MS though. They tried to do something cool and ever so slightly risqué and that got shut down in a hurry.
I 100% agree. they are a little disturbing.
Gosh Microsoft, please tell me enough customers have responded that the juvenile emoji's are now unusable in a work setting. Not sure whose bright idea this was but definitely not wanted by most. Please consider returning to the normal emoji's so we don't look like we're 5 years old.
