Can I use custom emojis on Discord?

Yes, you can use custom emojis on Discord. Discord allows users to upload and use custom emojis in servers, both for regular text channels and in reactions to messages. Here's how you can use custom emojis on Discord:

Using Custom Emojis in Text Channels:

  • Open Discord and log in to your account.
  • Join or select the server where you want to use custom emojis.
  • In a text channel, type a colon (:) followed by the emoji's name or keyword. For example, if the custom emoji's name is "party," you would type ":party".
  • Discord will display a list of matching emojis based on your input. If the custom emoji you want to use appears in the list, click on it to insert it into your message. If it doesn't appear, you may need to double-check the emoji's name or keyword.
  • Alternatively, if you know the exact name of the custom emoji, you can type the colon (:) followed by the emoji's name and hit Enter to insert it directly. For example, ":party" + Enter.

Using Custom Emojis in Message Reactions:

  • Open Discord and log in to your account.
  • Find the message to which you want to add a custom emoji reaction.
  • Hover your cursor over the message, and you'll see a smiley face icon (😊) and other reaction emojis appear to the right side of the message.
  • Click on the smiley face icon to open the reaction menu.
  • In the reaction menu, you'll see a variety of default emojis as well as custom emojis specific to the server.
  • Scroll through the custom emojis or use the search bar to find the desired custom emoji.
  • Click on the custom emoji to add it as a reaction to the message.

Custom emojis are a fun way to add personalization and expressiveness to your Discord conversations. Please note that the ability to use custom emojis in a server depends on your roles and permissions within that server. Additionally, custom emojis are specific to the server they were uploaded to, so they may not be available in other servers or direct messages unless they have been added there as well.
