How to make animated emojis on Twitch?

How do I add animated emoticons to Twitch?

1. Creating an animated emoticon:

• Format: GIF.
• Maximum number of frames: 60.
• Images must be square (equal width and height in pixels).
• File size: no more than 1 MB for automatic resizing or up to 512 KB for manual customization.

2. How to upload animated smileys:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Open the “Settings” section, then select “Channel”.
• In the “Mood Icons” subsection, upload your emoticons.
• After submitting for moderation, you will need to wait for a response from the administration, which usually takes about a day.

3. Limitations and customization:

• If you don't like the animations or don't comply with the rules, you can always disable them in the chat settings.
• You can choose the first frame of the GIF as the thumbnail of the emoticon or change it to any other static frame.

Important Notes:

Be careful when creating animated emoticons. For example, in the summer of 2021, Twitch blocked an animated bird because its movements could be perceived as sexual innuendo. Be careful that your emojis don't violate moderation rules. Once your emoticons are approved, you can use them in your broadcasts and grab the attention of your audience. If your channel is not very popular yet, you can turn to professional services to gain viewers and subscribers to speed up the process of attracting an audience, for example, with the help of SMMFast. This will help you accelerate the growth of your channel without violating Twitch rules and ensuring safety.
