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.

Guys...It has been 2 years since the last admin post saying it is being worked on. Is there a timeline?

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.

I personally know of two people in my company who suffered because of this feature - one accidentally pressed a Heart when talking with his junior and she reported that to HR. Another one pressed ThumbsUp accidentally instead of sad face when someone was telling about a family death.
Thankfully no damage done in both cases.
Emojis in a professional meeting tool is a very poor idea. -

These emojis are a pain, they block chat text and are completely inappropriate in many professional environments.

Please provide the option to turn off emojis. If that's too much trouble, I don't mind the thumbs up/like emoji to confirm a message was understood, but the emojis with hearts are extremely uncomfortable to receive from coworkers/supervisors... Our account is clearly for a business, so I have no idea why those emojis are available and why the option to disable all of them still doesn't exist.

I seriously want an option to disable emoji. They look horrible and the animations are creepy and distracting.
I would settle for: an option to block emoji, an option to delete them manually, converting them to text, or at the very least please let me disable the animation... -

Why do I need a dancing turkey in my face? If people want to sent them - fine. But I don't want the animation to distract me (never mind the unprofessional appearance). A checkbox that would turn that animation into "<DancingTurkey>" would be fine. Then I get the intention of the sender without being annoyed that it is in my feed.
Hey @Warren - we've been staying tuned for nearly two years. Can you give us some good news?

"September 09, 2018"How long does it take to add a couple of setting options, and an `if userSettings.autoEmojiEnabled`?

Please provide an option at the user level to turn off emojis in the MS Teams.
Emoji's are pretty annoying at times especially those which popup on the mouse hover on every comment.
