Add option to make emoticons smaller or be turned off
Would like the ability to turn off all emoticons. Every chat application I've ever used (Skype, Lync, Slack, Hipchat) allow this option. Or/and make the emoticons smaller.
It would also be nice to have the option to minimize an emoji or resize an emoji within the chat feed once a user has posted it. Currently ‘edit’ or ‘delete’ is available per message, possiblly if ‘minimize’ or ‘collapse’ option would make this possible? This would enable the viewer of the feed to create their own visual experience/not have to look at emoji if they don’t want to.

The ability to turn off emojis is still being worked upon.
Also, there is work to create a compact mode which will also help reduce white space… which in turn will impact some of the complaints are far as wasted space from the emojis as well, that have been voiced in the comments.
Stay tuned for more details.

When someone talks over you or completely ignore you it means they have not interest in what you have to say. I have looked for several week for way to turn off emoji's in my Teams software. I have also looked in the admin interface and can not find it.
I have recently learned that Slack will allow your users to turn the off or on as the require.Thanks

My grade 1 students love the emojis...when my lesson is over I check the chat and it makes me wonder if they were listening at all. As I still need chat for parents who have technological problems that message me to invite them into our meetings I can't turn chat off. Being able to turn of the emoji button would hopefully help my students become less distracted by Teams.
Thanks- A grade 1 teacher whose seen every emoji

Ctrl-Z doesn't work - it will immediately re-emojify -- what/where is the solution?
This is a *business tool* not a social networking platform for teens -

Should we really expect this company, the same company that created Microsoft Bob, to allow us to get away from annoying yellow smiley faces? At this point, let's just be thankful that the font isn't permanently set to Comic Sans.

Please, please allow us to disable automatic emojiis. It breaks the flows and causes issues when we are working. I speak in words, not in pictures.

I need to able to unmute my first graders while teaching.... Please build in this option for teachers of younger students. Too much time is waisted waiting for the lil'ones to unmute themselves in order to respond to their teacher. Thank you!

PLEASE GET THIS ISSUE FIXED! We do not want emojis in our classrooms. Remote teaching is hard enough as it is.

Our company wants to enforce a simple strict org-wide policy: absolutely NO emojis allowed, period. Why cannot Microsoft understand that ?

Two years since the last update, we STILL can't disable emoji auto-replacement AND the ctrl+z option no longer works. At this point I've given up and just monospace anything that even remotely resembles an emoji to prevent it from being perverted into something I didn't mean to type.
