Static Emotes

Animated Emotes

Emotes are the core of the culture of any stream. No matter if it is Facebook, Twitch, or YouTube. Every streamer uses emotes and their community has a say in what emotes are used and what they look like. Streamers can either use a character that represents them if they are more of a personality driven streamer. Or if they play a specific game, genre, or class using characters from these can work better from them. No matter if it is static emotes or animated emotes Inner Geek Designs can help with both of them to help your stream stand out and grow your community.

With more streamers and content creators allowed to use emotes it is more important for every streamer to decide what the theme they want to use for their emotes. Affiliate or starting streamers need to think more than established streamers need to be more concerned with what emotes they use especially with slot limitations. Streamers now also have to think about animated vs static emotes and Inner Geek can help with both of those.

Animated emotes are something that to start should be used for your most popular emotes.

Some emotes might not be the best as an animated emote but still work solid as a static one.
