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!

Thanks for bumping! I missed that entirely.
The kaomoji menu has a category called "acting cute", which describes how the Teams emoji feel to me pretty well. Even for emoji, they feel chibi.
Whoa whoa how is this not getting more love? I wish I could pin this post. Thank you so much...
Just adding another request on top of the pile to allow us to use the old emoji set. I'm sure someone worked very hard on them, but in my work context they just don't provide anything I actually want to use to express myself. Even the most basic smiley is just so...uncanny valley.
Edit: Also, the feedback links in the first few posts of this thread are closed. Does that mean this will get some attention?
Edit 2: After reading a couple of pages of comments, I can understand that there may be business reasons for MS not to want to revert. Users don't want it to be a customization setting because what looks like a classic emoji to me might show up as the cartoonish new version for you. To me, it doesn't seem like an overly burdensome request to just include a new tab for classic emojis. They're already designed, as long as compatibility isn't broken, it should work, and it wouldn't add much bloat to the program...maybe a few dozen MB? Pretty please?
The new emojis are not appropriate for business settings. PLEASE revert back to the previous ones or offer the option!
