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!

    That doesn't make sense to me - thanks anyway.

    I did however find this link for using the classic emoji's - Windows and it worked with TEAMS and this chat 😃😎 with a few of the basics "Windows key +. (period)"

    How to use emoji on Windows 10

    To find and insert emoji in any text area, use these steps:

    1. Open any app (such as Notepad, Word, or Microsoft Edge).
    2. In the text area, open the emoji panel using the Windows key + ; (semicolon) or Windows key +. (period).
    3. Click on the Smiley face (emoji) tab.
    4. Start typing to search an emoji.
    5. Select the emoji to insert.

    Cannot disagree with you more on this unfortunately . . .

    A corporation forcing their constituents to endure the pain of a gaudy idea that was passed through in an unavoidable update with no way to revert, no option to choose is actually Cyber Bullying, and their entire user platform is the victim. A corporation cannot be a victim in most cases . . . this is one of them. . . Subverting an entire user base with a Draconian change with no way out. . . that's what a bully would do if they had the power. . . "Our will or bust"

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