Spice up your Discord communication with animated emojis! If you're new to Discord or haven't explored its emoji roster yet, you're in for a treat. Discord offers a vast library of animated emojis that can make your conversations more expressive and engaging. Let's delve into the world of animated Discord emojis and learn how to use them to enhance your messaging experience.
First things first, not every Discord server comes packed with animated emojis. Some servers may have them, while others might not. If you're an admin or a moderator, you can change that by adding your own custom animated emojis. But more on that later. For now, let's focus on finding and using these animated treasures.
Unlocking Animated Emojis on Discord
Before you dive into the delightful sea of animated emojis, you need to enable them in your client settings. Here's a quick guide on how to do it:
1. Open Discord and click on the gear icon in the bottom-left corner to access your User Settings.
2. Select 'Appearance' from the sidebar, then scroll down to the 'Advanced' section.
3. Find the ' Animations' toggle and switch it on. Voila! You're now ready to enjoy animated emojis.
Finding Animated Emojis
Now that you've enabled animations, it's time to locate those animated emojis. Here's how:
1. In any text field, type ':'. You'll notice a '>'. By clicking on it, Discord will display a list of emojis from all the servers you're a part of.
2. Scroll through the list, and you should see animated emojis marked with a '๐' symbol next to them. Click on an emoji to use it in your message.
Animated Emojis in Server Emoji Libraries
Each server has its own library of emojis, and some might have animated ones. To access a server's emoji library:
1. Right-click on any emoji reaction and select 'EmojiPicker'.
2. Click on the '+ Add Emoji' button at the bottom. Here, you'll find all the custom emojis from that particular server. Animated emojis will be marked with the '๐' symbol.
Adding Custom Animated Emojis
So, you've found some animated emojis and you're loving them. But wait, what if you want to add your own? Well, you're in luck! Discord allows you to upload your own animated emojis. Here's how:
1. Right-click on the server icon in your server list, then select 'Edit Server'.
2. Click on 'Emojis' in the sidebar, then click on 'Upload Emoji'.
3. Add the emoji name, select the emoji roles, and upload your animated emoji file. Then, hit 'Upload'.
Animated Stickers

1. Click on the '+' icon next to the text input field to open the 'Add Reaction' menu.
2. Select the 'Stickers' tab, then browse or search for a sticker you like. Click on it to add it to your message.
