!emotes

The !emotes command serves two primary functions:

1. List Platform Emotes: When followed by a platform name (twitch, bttv, ffz, 7tv), it lists the active emotes from that specific provider directly in chat.
2. Reload Emote Cache (Moderator+): Using the reload keyword, moderators can refresh the bot’s internal cache of emotes for all platforms (Twitch, BTTV, FFZ, 7TV) simultaneously.

Usage

To list active emotes for a specific platform:

!emotes <platform>

• <platform>: Required. The platform whose emotes you want to list. Valid options: twitch, bttv, ffz, 7tv.

To reload the emote cache:

!emotes reload

• This refreshes the bot’s internal cache of available emotes for all platforms (Twitch, BTTV, FFZ, 7TV).
• It is useful if new emotes have been added or changed and aren’t showing up correctly.

Permissions

Using !emotes reload requires Moderator permission level or higher by default. This can be adjusted in the StreamElements Dashboard under Chatbot -> Chat Commands -> Default Commands.

Examples

Listing active FFZ emotes:

Example chat

ViewerName:!emotes ffz

StreamElements:Active FrankerFaceZ emotes in chat: monkaS FeelsOkayMan PepeHands ZULUL

Listing active BTTV emotes:

Example chat

ViewerName:!emotes bttv

StreamElements:Active BetterTTV emotes in chat: Pog LULW monkaW Clap

Reloading all emote caches (Moderator+):

Example chat

ModUser:!emotes reload

StreamElements:@Moderator, successfully updated emotes :)

Configuration

• The reload function will refresh caches for Twitch and any enabled third-party integrations.
• The bot needs appropriate permissions (usually just being present in chat) to fetch Twitch emotes.

Related Commands

• !emotecount: Checks how many times a specific emote has been used in chat.
