BTTV Emotes

Twitch is a dynamic platform that offers numerous benefits, including Twitch emotes. Emotes are a unique aspect of Twitch culture that most classify as the official language of the platform. Thus, you can only find emotes on Twitch, unlike most emojis and GIFs available on several apps. 

Emotes are fun and exciting to look at and make Twitch chat stimulating. One of the best ways to enhance your emotes game is to install BTTV.

This article will discuss what BTTV emotes are, how to enable them, and how to use them on your channel.

What Are BTTV Emotes?

How to Use BTTV Emotes

BTTV, also called Better Twitch TV or BetterTTV, is a 3rd-party browser extension that enables users to utilize various custom emotes when chatting on Twitch.

You can use Better Twitch TV emotes for numerous purposes. For example, you can use emotes in chat rooms to play around. Alternatively, you can use them to show other content creators that you support them.

Additionally, since the feature is unique to the streaming software and has a large library, it is an incredible way to stand out and improve your Twitch growth.

How to Enable BTTV Emotes on Twitch?

Enabling BTTV channel emotes on Twitch is pretty straightforward, and you can do it in a few easy steps. Here are the steps on how to enable BTTV emotes on Twitch.

  1. Firstly, you need to confirm if you have BTTV installed. The easiest way to check is to type “monkaS” in a chat room. After typing, you should see “monkaS” as an emote and not a text because it is a Global emote, meaning it works on all Twitch channels. If you do not see this emote, you probably have not downloaded the BTTV extension in your browser or did not properly optimize it.
  2. If you do not have BTTV, then you need to download it. You can do this by visiting the official BTTV website and downloading the extension that is compatible with your browser.
  3. After downloading and installing BTTV, you will find many settings in the extension. One of which enables emotes. 
  4. Open the extension, click on the gear icon, and find “BetterTTV Setting.”

That’s all it takes to enable BTTV emotes. However, it is important to note that you will not be able to use all emotes simultaneously. This is because all streamers have a finite number of emotes enabled for use simultaneously.

Hence, if you find that you cannot use specific emotes from your favorite streamers, it might mean that the streamers did not enable the emotes in their streams.
