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 guess MS is trying to introduce a 'cool' aspect to emojis, but instead, they've created a completely childish mood, which doesn't go well on a business environment.

    Please revert to standard emojis, like the ones used on Github.

    Please bring back original emojies, new look is too fancy and unnecessary for our work.

    Second this. Just restarted my computer and got greeted by a toothless corpse looking thing instead of a lauging smiley. HORRIBLE!

    But I doubt community backlash will be great enough for Microsoft to revert their changes. At least not in a reasonable amount of time. Just look at the Win11 Taskbar issues.
