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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
There are thousands of comments here about how awful these are, along with Reddit and many other public forums. Almost nobody disagrees how terrible the new emojis are.
It's a trivial thing to focus on, but I have to hope that Microsoft will see their mistake after so much feedback.
You're not listening to the feedback, Microsoft. Don't put more lipstick on this "pig" (the new emojis). Revert. Revert. Revert. You've lost touch with the business world in favor of the pre-teens and bathroom humor. Example: We don't need 5 different "kiss" emojis in a business environment! Are you trying to get us more "face-time" with HR?
I also find these emoji's to be distasteful and childish and would like a return to the original ones.
Agreed. See my objection on the original announcement blog post by Microsoft.
People keep focusing on the childish appearance of the emojis. I agree 100%, but Microsoft won't listen to this as they'll just assume you don't like the style.
What we need to make clear is that at any reasonable screen resolution, these emojis are indistinguishable from one another.
