Step 2: Navigating to Emote Settings

After accessing the server settings, follow these sub-steps:

1. In the left sidebar, click on “Emojis” under “User Management”.
2. You will now see a list of current emotes available on your server (if any).

Adding Global Emotes

If you want to add global emotes available for all users across all servers, follow these additional steps:

1. Click on the blue “Upload Emoji” button located near the top right corner of the page.
2. A file explorer window will open. Select an image file from your computer that you want to use as an emote.

Adding Server Emotes

If you only want to add emotes that are specific to your server, follow these additional steps:

2. Choose whether you want this emote to be available for everyone or restricted to specific roles using the options provided.

Note: Discord has certain guidelines and requirements for uploading emojis. Make sure your image meets these guidelines before attempting to upload it. Additionally, keep in mind that each server has a limit on how many emojis can be uploaded based on its Boost level and membership tier.

Using Emotes

Now that you’ve added some awesome emotes to your Discord server, it’s time to use them! Here’s how:

• To use an emote in a chat message, simply type “:” followed by the name of the emote. For example, if you have an emote named “smile”, you can type “:smile:” to display the emote.

Emotes are a fantastic way to enhance user interaction and bring more life to your Discord server. Don’t be afraid to experiment and get creative with the emotes you choose!
