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!

    My organization's Teams was also recently updated with the Fluent emojis today. I concur with others who have posted here: they are much too cutesy and childish-looking for a work environment. I won't be using them for a quick response the way I had been accustomed to using the old ones; some are creepy and their over-simplistic, cartoony look does not lend itself to business communications. I would also prefer that my org have the option to select the icon set we use; this change will make Teams chat a less versatile tool for us.

    Please stop expending resources to fix what isn't broken and PLEASE have an adult with business sense look at changes instead of a 20 YO programmer.

    The vast majority of MS revenue comes from business users and companies. Teams is used for business communication not childish chatter.

    Add me to the list of folks that think the fluent emojis are not business appropriate. They were just pushed to our company today. Yuk.
