According to reports, Microsoft’s employees were surprised
by a newly added custom emoji feature on Teams after they spotted an emoji of
Pepe the Frog in reactions and messages in the primitive internal versions of Teams.
Pepe the Frog has been a trademark in itself for a very long
time and emojis of the character have been integrated in Discord servers and on
Twitch, representing cheerful responses.
Currently, Teams only supports a Unicode emoji panel for videos and messages, along with a Giphy service. Although the custom emoji feature is expected to roll out, that doesn’t mean that the functionality will appear to users in the form of Pepe the Frog memes. Ultimately, the IT admins will control how custom emojis will be accessed and used in Teams.
