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!

    If using Windows, go into a message field and click the Windows key and period key. It will pull up a more basic set of emojis you can select from that aren't so ugly. It's not quite the last set of emojis, but it's incredibly better than these new emojis.

    I also hate those, please revert to the old emojis, those new ones are horrible, childish and look like back in the 1990s :(

    also commented all the posts.

    I have an eyesight problem, and it is extremely difficult to find the difference between most emojis. The old one was way easier.

    I am not sure who their test audience were. I guess they just picked a few kids with the best eyesight for testing out the feature.

    Let's play a game of "find the difference":
