Many users claim that Discord emoji size too small and hope Discord increases emoji size.
How to Use Discord Emoji?
There are two ways available for making use of the emotes in Discord.
#1 Via Emoji Picker
The most direct and easy way to get emojis is through the emoji picker to the right of your text bar. Just click on the picker and a window will pop up displaying all kinds of emotes including frequently used ones, people, nature, food, activities, travel, objects, symbols, as well as flags of different countries.
You are able to choose whatever you like from a large number of emojis by the sorts above. Also, you can search for certain emoticons by typing a keyword and all emotes whose name partly matches the keyword will be filtered out. Or, if you remember the whole name of an emoji, you can exclusively filter it out of the numerous emotes.
Furthermore, you can add multiple emojis by holding the Shift key and clicking on each emoji you want. Thus, you don’t have to trigger the emoji menu several times.
- By holding the Alt key and click the target emojis, you will make them your favorite emotes. To remove them from the favorite list, use the same way.
- You can send a GIF image file by clicking the GIF icon next to Emoji Picker.
#2 Through Text Bar
If you can remember the name of the emoji you plan to use, you can directly write it down in the text bar and you will get what you want. Then, just hit the Enter key to send the emote out. You may find that all the emoji names are wrapped with a pair of colons (:emoji name:).
#3 With Adding Reaction
You can also get access to Discord emojis by the “Add Reaction” option. Just hover your mouse on the message that you received or sent, then click on the smiling face with a plus icon (appear to the right of the message) to trigger the emoji menu.
What’s more, you can add more reactions by clicking the reaction icon beside the very last sent reaction. And Shift plus left-click enables you to add multiple emojis at one time.
- To recall the reaction you have sent, just click on it and it will disappear.
- Just put your mouse on a reaction will show who send the reaction.
#4 By Right-Click
More directly, you can react to a specific message by right-clicking on it and select from your top 4 frequently used emojis. Or, you can choose Add Reaction and pick from the emoji library.
Wumboji Emoji
If you adopt the first or the second method to gain emojis and there is only emoji(s) within a single message, the emoji(s) will size up and turn out to be larger ones than they are sent together with other text. And, you can only have at most 27 wumboji emojis within a single message due to space limitations.
How to Add Custom Emojis/Emotes to Discord Server Channel?
Besides the official emojis, you can also invite your personalized emojis to share with your members. Also, you can sync with streamers you like and use their integrated Twitch emojis.
To add customized emojis to a server, you must be authorized to manage its emojis or you are the owner of the server. Then, follow the below guide to upload your own emotes to Discord.
- Go to the target server, click on the down-arrow next to the Server name, and select Server Settings in the drop-down menu.
- Choose the Emoji tab on the next screen and click the Upload Emoji button in the right area of the Emoji tab.
- select the emojis you want to add from your computer and click Open to start uploading.
Please note that you can only upload up to 50 custom emojis to a single server channel. Emoji names must be at least 2 characters long and can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores. Moreover, a single must be under 256kb in size.
For optimal resolution, you can upload custom emojis in sizes up to 128×128 pixels. Yet, they will be shrunk to 32×32 pixels.
- The emoji picker will classify custom emojis by servers and custom-created server emojis are server-specific, while integrated emojis are globally available like Twitch subscription emoticons. If you want to use the uploaded custom memes on all your servers, you have to upgrade to Discord Nitro.
- Some servers have both globally available and grayed-out emojis. A grayed-out emoji means that you do not have access to post it on other servers, or it’s just an animated emoji. You can subscribe to Nitro or Nitro classic to unlock the grayed-out emojis.
- If you want custom emojis but you don’t want to create them by yourself, you can find them online, such as https://emoji.gg/.
