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!

    Hi Didi,

    I hate it to and have upvoted all of your feedback links above they all look angry and aren't as animated as the old ones.

    Thanks

    Ben

    It just updated for me at work. What were they thinking. I squinted and I was like....oh my. This is not good. I mean the old emoji weren't all that great either, but I think this new emoji update made things a lot worse.

    I'm afraid we'll be stuck with it for a while, Not unless there is noticeable pushback from the community. It just updated for me and I'm responding 2 months later to this thread. So it seems its still on the rollout stages. 🤦‍♂️

    These new emoji's are atrocious! My entire ORG is complaining about them and thinking my staff or myself pushed these out! Microsoft needs to FIRE the team resposible for the UX/UI on these "new" emoji's.. the classic were just fine and were consistent across all platforms!

    Could we get an option to use old emojis?
    As many people stated already new ones are unusable.
