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!

    Thanks for bumping! I missed that entirely.

    The kaomoji menu has a category called "acting cute", which describes how the Teams emoji feel to me pretty well. Even for emoji, they feel chibi.

    Gosh Microsoft, please tell me enough customers have responded that the juvenile emoji's are now unusable in a work setting. Not sure whose bright idea this was but definitely not wanted by most. Please consider returning to the normal emoji's so we don't look like we're 5 years old.
