Owncast

Custom emoji

Your stream’s chat can be customized with your own custom emoji. You can add as many as you’d like and they’ll be available to use in chat.

In the Admin

By visiting the chat custom emoji page in the admin located at /admin/chat/emojis you can add and remove images that are available to chat participants.

Emoji management was first supported in Owncast 0.1.0.

Manual management

You can manage your custom emoji images in the data/emoji directory on your filesystem. Here’s what you can do:

  • Add multiple static and/or animated emoji image files at once
  • Delete an entire set of emojis
  • Rename all emoji files
  • Back up your custom emojis by copying them to another folder

Bundled emoji images
