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!

    New emoteicons are utterly ****. They are slightly recognizable, and those orange-like color seems familiar from previous POTUS...

    The new Emojis are absolutely appalling, please can you provide an option to revert to the old reactions and Smilies.

    The new ones are indecipherable to what they are actually supposed to be, are ugly and childish and can't be used in any professional capacity. Even the thumbs up looks like a blob, I can't see the logic in changing something that was suitable as it was and now cannot be used across our company because it looks like it was designed for kids, not professional business use. Unbelievable decision.

    These new emojis are super creepy and are harder to see. They are unprofessional and unusable in a business environment. Please revert back to the old smiley emojis.
