Expand emojis to reflect the diversity of ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability of your user base
Emoji set is limited and almost exclusively white and male. This doesn't reflect the make up of most modern workplaces and certainly doesn't reflect the make up of your global user base.

Thank you for your feedback! The team is currently working on a significant update to add a broader and more diverse selection of emojis to Teams. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

We need emojis that have brown and black skin tones! thumbs up and other emojis should not just reflect white skin. I know on every social media platform you are given choices of color. Microsoft needs to get with it.

I would like MS to reflect diversity in their emojis - If whatsapp can do it I'm sure MS is capable!

Please increase the skin tone options for emojis to go beyond just pale skin tones. The current tones are not representative of my company and our world.

For diversity purposes- you should try to make the face emoji's in multiple skin tones

How is a genderless, color neutral (yellow) set of faces "almost exclusively white and male"?

To represent the many colors of individuals who use Teams, it would be appropriate to have many colors embedded within the emojis and hand raise feature. The entire rainbow would be great!

This should definitely be included given all the other products which do cover this space as well as being diverse and inclusive

Get rid of white and just have yellow so people don't get so bent out of shape about a non-issue.

Please add different skin tones to the emojis. It would be great to see more options, beginning with the thumbs-up. Thank you.
