Custom Emojis
To manage additional emojis, click on this button in the emoji panel:Specify a name up to 64 characters long. It can contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the characters "-", "+", and "_".
Specify a .gif, .png, or .jpg file for your emoji. The file can weigh up to 1 MB. The size is automatically resized to 128 by 128 pixels while maintaining the aspect ratio.
The emoji can then be used by all kChat users in your organization thanks to the name you assigned to it.
