It would be awesome if Twitch allowed artists who design emotes for partnered streamers use them for free!

A suggestion is for Twitch to create the option for partnered streamers to specify which artist(s) created their emotes when they upload them which would then allow the artist to use those emotes on Twitch.

Benefits to this is that it would provide more exposure to both the streamer and the artist. The artist would get more promotion through sharing their created emotes on Twitch. Fans of the artist who enjoy their art style would be able to see which emotes the artist has created and which stream they're from. As a result, this would bring more exposure to the streamer, leading to more subs!

I feel that Twitch artists, though they contribute so much to the streamer communities, often receive little recognition for their hard work since they work behind-the-scenes. It'd be nice if Twitch implemented this feature to show their support for their artists!

Please unban the Copesen emote. It's an oxygen tank labelled "copium" which is an imaginary drug, making fun of forsen. Forsen likes to "cope" when he makes mistakes in the minecraft game by saying funny things like "unluckly", or "it's the game's fault". Copium is metaphor, a phyical representation of Forsen's own unwillingness to accept his mistakes. In other words, it's a self-deprecating joke.

It's probably the most popular emote in his chat these days, it's really quite funny. I think it's a bit silly to remove it due to "drugs/drug paraphernalia", because 1) it's not a real drug, it's imaginary, and 2) it's not paraphernalia, it's an oxygen tank labelled "copium".

Please bring it back!

Thank you for your consideration.

When hovering over an emote in chat I would love to see listed information for the artist it was created by and their social media/ contact info.
For that info to be easily clicked on to open new tabs to their Twitch channel and to their art social media/ contact info.

Also showing the emote at the largest size to see the emote's art more clearly, the emote's name, and the streamer's channel that it is uploaded to with that being clickable opening a new tab there.

I feel that emotes are a large part of Twitch and it's difficult to find the artists that put in the work making them, so they deserve more credit and promotion.

We've been using external extensions like BTTV for years for the option to have community shared emotes and animated gif emotes in chat that have become a big part of Twitch's culture with emotes like with SourPls.
It would be great to have some global animated gif emotes and to be able to add the option to upload animated gifs for sub emotes for channels to be able to have all animated gif emotes if they wanted.

Just as it says in the title, I think creators would love to have the option to take away Tier 2 and 3 subs to add two more emotes to Tier 1 subs. In my case, I’ve maybe had someone tier 2/3 to me 2-3 times each over the course of my 3 years of being an Affiliate. It’s only usually just once out of the blue, never continuous.

For my stream, I would rather add two more emotes to my first tier, totaling it to a maximum of 7 instead of 5 (for Affiliates) than have a tier 2 and tier 3 subscription option that no one is going to pay for. I want to incorporate my emotes into my community as much as I can, and with collapsing tier 2 and 3 to get two more emotes for tier 1, it would really help.

I think this would be easy to incorporate; it would just be within your emote options, a switch you can click that disables tier 2 and tier 3 subs and adds two more slots to tier 1. For those people who are subbed to a streamer at tier 2 or tier 3, they would automatically roll over to tier 1 the next month, keeping all of their emotes, just paying the tier 1 price.

Users will be able to purchase emotes in an "Emote Shop". Streamers can choose how much to charge for each of their emotes. The user can purchase emotes from various streamers and will be charged monthly for a one lump sum per month, 3 months, 6 months, or unlimited time price. This will encourage revenue for streamers from people that don't want to pay the full subscription price. This will also make people want to collect emotes from different streamers. Perhaps a trophy system of some sort could be included with this system to encourage people to buy more emotes as well.

I see someone has touched on this already, however, I feel it worth reiterating that it would be beneficial to delete emotes or blacklist them from appearing on autocomplete when users type : (colon) to start typing for their emotes.

Deleting emotes: it would be nice to be able to go through individual emotes and delete them on a case by case basis. For example, particular Hyperscape or Hype train emotes that just aren't appealing to a particular user.

Blacklisting emotes on autocomplete: a suitable solution for many people would be to simply make it so that certain emotes don't appear when trying to type out a word. For example, many streamers upload "hype" emotes to let viewers show excitement for something that is going on. I've seen many people complain that hype train emotes and hyperscape emotes completely bury other streamers hype emotes when trying to type out ":hype" to see the list of emotes that have that in the word. Blacklisting would be a good solution to both solve that issue, and keep emotes in their lists for the few situations they would be used.

I would like the ability for a channel to have an emote tied to the months subscribed.

There should be two options to go with the implementation, the ability to allow non-current subscribers to still use the emote and the ability to set the same emote for all subscriber month goals or a different one.

This helps reward people who subscribe to a channel for extended periods with more than just a sub badge. Creators could have a wildly different emote at each month, or choose to have an emote that evolves as their subscribers reach typical month goal.

In a way these would likely take design principles from sub badges but apply them to emotes. If creators enable the option it also allows non-current subscribers to still retain a small benefit from their tenure and allow them to use a specific, exclusive emote.

For example, 1 month may be a wooden tombstone emote, at 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months the emote would be changed to a fancier tombstone. In this way subscribers to that channel could have an evolving RIP emote that shows off their own contribution.

Given the amount of emotes this adds to a channel this feature may be best suited for partners.

Hi there,

Despite Twitch being all about the content that is created and streamed, I believe emotes serve a very important role in both communication and representation on other streams without being pure advertising, it's subtle but can really help a streamer grow.

This means that viewers can sometimes arrive from the emotes alone, and may not enjoy the content, and so the streamer and viewer will both miss out, the viewer doesn't want to pay a full subscription for the emotes alone, and the streamer will miss out on the revenue from a potential purchase.

I propose a middle ground that will satisfy both parties, and even Twitch as they take revenue from all sales: Emote Subscriptions.

Emote subscriptions can be enabled or disabled by the streamer, they are free to not use it if they so choose; it would be slightly cheaper than a full subscription and will provide the viewer with all tier 1 emotes.

Using this feature won't provide the viewer with ad protection as it's not intended to be used as a means to watch the streamer, but to simply gain access to their emotes to use elsewhere, therefore providing more "subtle advertising" on other channels.

I believe it would be beneficial to increase the emote slots by a fixed amount with the feature to further incentivise the purchase of emote subscriptions as a viewer may still not wish to pay the cost of an emote subscription if there aren't many emotes to use.

Thank you.
