Channel emojis

Streamers can add custom emojis to their channels.

On the channel configuration page, open the “Channel emojis” tab:

You can configure custom emojis for your channel. These emojis will be available in the emoji picker. Users can also use them by with their short name (for example by writing “:shortname:”).

You can use emojis in the chat using “:shortname:”. The short name can start and/or end by a colon (:), and only contain alphanumerical characters, underscores and hyphens. It is strongly recommended to start them by a colon, so that users can use autocompletion (by typing “:” then press TAB).

Import / Export

On the channel configuration page, there are an “Import” and an “Export” button. The “Export” button generates a file than you can then import on another channel.

You can also generate a file to import from any other source (for example you can import your Twitch custom emojis). The file must be a valid JSON file, using the following format:

[
  {
    "sn": ":short_name:",
    "url": "https://example.com/image.png"
  }
]

The sn attribute is the short name code. The url attribute can be any image url than your browser can access, or a Data URL representing the file you want to import.
