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!

    I have the same question about the new emojis. How can we get the old ones back? I feel so sorry for the design team. Maybe reading the history of Clippy might help. Please consider reverting to the original emojis. Thank you!

    Please bring back cute cat emojis! The new ones (all of them, not just the cat ones) are awful! :(

    Hi KB_116,

    My name is Didi. I'm happy to help you today.

    I'm afraid it's not possible to revert to the old emojis at the moment. There have been several requests to bring back the old style and I invite you to upvote or leave a comment on any of the links below.

    Kind regards,

    Thank you Didi, commented on all 3.

    Please change back the emojis or allow the option. These are too weird and unprofessional looking.

    I often sit there crying at my work desk whenever I see these new emoji. My work has suffered so much so, that now my boss now send angry emoji at me which in turn makes me cry more. It's got so bad over the recent days that I'm now suffering from severe dehydration to the point where I sit there without tears and just make sounds.
