To use the emotes, users can click the smiling face icon in the chat or comment section. If the user has a membership to a channel that offers custom emojis, the YouTube Emotes will be visible under the emoji picker option.
Apart from that, it also has a default system where the icons have specific names for auto-complete. Previously, Twitch offered such emotes to a variety of its communities.
