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!

    Or let us choose (or upload) icon sets for the emojis? Anything!

    I cannot bring myself to use these in Teams, which maybe is for the better. But I do think they can help convey emotion in the written word, but the current set is not usable.

    As I write this, there have been 74k+ view of this thread, and we're nearing 200 replies here. I wonder how many people wrote in to MS saying how much they love the new emojis?

    Please, Microsoft, revert to the original emojis in your Teams product!

    These emoji are embarrassingly childish and unusable.

    100% agree with the comment "Teams - Revert to Classic Emojis". I work for a large Government agency and the majority of users refrain from using the new emojis because of their appearance and unprofessional look.

    Although "cringe" is technically an emotion also, I think the goal of having emojis is to convey a wider variety of emotions than just this one.
