It's ridiculous that we even have to vote on this. Why would they make these unusable outside of our own streams? The fact that I can't use my own emotes outside of my streams is just dumb.

Follower emotes should be treated no differently than Sub Emotes. Don't make the streamer choose which emotes they want to work everywhere vs which ones they don't. There is no incentive to use Follower Emotes vs BTTV or Frankerface as they are currently configured. Streamers can't even use their OWN emotes in other channels. This is a severe lack of support that shouldn't exist.

Would be nice.

For the follower emotes streamers have on their channels may us as the broadcaster of that channel see those emotes like we would to sub emotes as we can only see them in our channels and use them on our channels and would like to use them in other channels but cant because can't follow ourselves of course.

@Twitch-Staff STOP limiting follower emotes! Make follower emotes euqal to all other emotes on the site! Follower emotes should be usable EVERYWHERE on Twitch in every chat, on every OS-plattform, as long as they are following me! This is the kind of limitation that makes people use BTTV FFZ etc! Who came up with this stupid limitation idea?

I would like people to be able to use that emote in other channels because it's advertisement for my stream. Perhaps someone sees that emote somewhere then comes to my stream to follow and get that emote. Then, they like what they see, and ultimately decide to subscribe. Maybe it's a follower count age that makes those emotes be unlocked for global use after say 3 months of following someone. There needs to be some kind of trigger that rewards people for following because not everyone has the luxury of subscribing.

I agree -- and if this isn't in the cards, then streamers should at least be able to use their own emotes in any chat (even though we technically can't follow ourselves, but we're forever subbed to ourselves.)

Currently, Follower Emotes can only be used in the channel they're for, while the user is followed to the channel. This means as a broadcaster, I have to decide between which emotes can't be used anywhere else, and which I can provide to followers to use in my channel without a subscription.

Ideally, it would be nice if subscribers to a channel would be able to use Follower Emotes anywhere on Twitch, as they currently use Subscriber Emotes. This would give an added benefit to subscribers, with additional emotes in other channels, while still allowing followers to use the selected Follower Emotes within your own channel.

@fFoxes But it would still increase followers for content creators. If we lose the emotes on un-following I see no problem with more emotes.

I think a problem would be that if anyone can use them anywhere with just a follow, then people would follow a lot of channels only for the emotes and would be less likely to subscribe for emotes in general.
