Emote List

Not every emote is support (especially since many are channel-specific/have many duplicate forms). The list of supported emotes can be found here.

Using Your Own

The emotes.json has a simple structure like this:

{"emotes": [
  {"name": "emote1", "url":"https://link.to.emote.1.file"},
  {"name": "emote2", "url":"https://link.to.emote.2.file"},
  {"name": "emote3", "url":"https://link.to.emote.3.file"}
  ]
}

Where the emotes list can have any number of emotes listed. See the default emotes.json for an example.

Other Information

This is a third party extension and is not affiliated with Facebook Messenger or Twitch. All emotes and images belong to their respective owners.
