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.
You can also use other Emojis using the keyboard shortcut "Windows + .".
(Hold windows key and then press the dot.)
A window should open with another style of emojis.
Thank you!!!!! This is the answer I've been hoping for for a year and a half. Cheers!
Since the flat emoji have also been removed from the Windows + . combination, sharing the new posts on the MS Feedback forum demanding the return of the flat emoji:

The previous links added to this post seem to have been archived or outright deleted. Seems MS is ignoring the request, but we can at least make it come back again and again until they're forced to listen.
They refuse to listen, and we refuse to accept the **** emojis.
"Since the flat emoji have also been removed from the Windows + . combination" Pressing the Windows key at the same time as the period key still works fine for me in new Teams, Outlook, and everywhere else I've tried it.
