Please bring back the previous emoji set or add an option to choose between the classic and the new emoji design.

The new emojis are much less clear and expressive than the previous ones.
We as long-time Zoom users preferred the original emoji style because it was easier to recognize during meetings.
Please consider adding a setting that allows users to switch between the classic and the new emoji set.

    there was nothing wrong with the old emojis. These new ones are basically useless. Just weird cartoony blobs. Even the basic ones, like the thumbs down, look ridiculous.

    Completely agree. I’ve tried to get used to the new emojis but the googly eyes and jack-o-lantern mouths look a little insane. They don’t add any beneficial meaning to my brief messages. I’d like the option to use the old emojis.

    they should allow users to revert back to old emoji style.  Ugh

    My work still has the previous emojis, but when I log into zoom on my home computer (same account) the new ones are there.  Completely unprofessional eye soars that they are...

    I have my own post about this, but good news... Mine appears to have just reverted back to the old style Emojis. Now it can be more professional.
