It might look like the chat is being spammed with random words like monkaS or catJAM, but these are BTTV emotes, and you won't be able to see or use them if you don't have the extension.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Woman-Wearing-Full-Sleeve-White-Shirt-Working-on-the-Laptop-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Woman Wearing Full Sleeve White Shirt Working on the Laptop\" class=\"wp-image-6367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Woman-Wearing-Full-Sleeve-White-Shirt-Working-on-the-Laptop.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Woman-Wearing-Full-Sleeve-White-Shirt-Working-on-the-Laptop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Woman-Wearing-Full-Sleeve-White-Shirt-Working-on-the-Laptop-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Setup_the_BTTV_Emotes_Menu\"><\/span>How to Setup the BTTV Emotes Menu?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using BTTV emotes is actually pretty simple. First, all you need to do is download a browser extension and configure it a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterttv.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BetterTTV's website<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the appropriate extension for your browser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once installed, go to any Twitch channel on a live stream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit the chat settings button (the one with the gear or cogwheel icon) and look for BTTV settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you aren't logged into BTTV, you can get to the login page by clicking any tab on the settings panel. You'll be prompted to connect your Twitch account so you can authorize it to use BTTV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now that you've authorized BTTV, the next step is to enable BTTV emotes. Simply look for \"Emotes Menu\" in the BTTV settings window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To enable BTTV emotes, toggle this on and you're good to go.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Post_BTTV_Emotes\"><\/span>How to Post BTTV Emotes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you've finished installing and setting up BTTV, you'll need to know how to post these emotes. There are two simple options to get this done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>First, you can type the name of the emote in the Twitch chat. For example, typing monkaS into the chat will bring up the monkaS emote. <strong>Note that this is case-sensitive, so you need to type the emote code precisely.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also use the BTTV emote menu to access your new emotes. This shows up as a smiling face emote button beside the chat. Open BTTV emotes menu by clicking the smiling face emote, which will show all the emotes the streamer has enabled. It will also bring up all global emotes that are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_Your_BTTV_Emote\"><\/span>How to Add Your BTTV Emote?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of BTTV emotes, but you might want something more unique. Luckily, you can upload your own custom emotes to BTTV. Let's see how to get more emotes with BTTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>After being prompted by BTTV, use your Twitch account information to log in, and authorize the extension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the dashboard on the top left side of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload emotes that you want your viewers to use on your channel. Make sure you make their names easy to remember so they can be typed easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose whether you want them to be shared globally. Global emotes can be used all over Twitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the button called \"I agree to the Emote Guidelines\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now you can upload your emote!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes about a week for your emotes to be approved and uploaded. Once that's done, you can use them on your own channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Some_Popular_BTTV_Emotes\"><\/span>What Are Some Popular BTTV Emotes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you're watching someone's channel, you'll come across a mix of exciting, funny, or wild moments.
