Today, we’ll be looking at how you can use Twitch emotes on your Discord servers. Let’s get started.
Syncing Discord and Twitch account
It’s best done if you could make use of a desktop as it’ll make things faster and easier. Also on the Mobile version, you may not find some options that are required to use Twitch emotes in Discord. This method requires an internet connection which is obvious, so make sure your device is connected to WiFi.
- Open Discord and log in with your account.
- Click on the User Settings icon that’s shaped like a gear next to your name.

- If you’ve already signed in to Twitch on your system then simply click on Sync your account. (If you’ve not signed on to Twitch on your system, you’ll have to do that now).
- Once you’ve synced your accounts, head over to your own Discord server and open up its server settings.
- Here click on Integrations > Connect to sync your Twitch channel to your Discord server. Do keep in mind that you should have to be a Twitch Affiliate, only then will the sync work between the channel and server.
Syncing Subscriber Roles
Go to your server’s settings and make changes to the roles for your Twitch subscribers. You can control what they do and what they can’t do. You’ll also have to let your subscribers know that to use the Twitch emotes in the Discord server they will have to synchronize their Twitch and Discord accounts.
And that’s how you can use Twitch emotes into your Discord server. However, there’s another way to get those Twitch emotes into Discord without having to sync your Twitch account. You can also add external emotes to be used in your server. This is how we do it:
- Head over to your server and click on server settings.
- Now tap on Roles and scroll till you see the Use External Emojis option.
- Simply set the toggle to On and set this role to everyone in your channel or just to a handful of server moderators.
