Do you want to spice up your Discord community or bring creativity and visual appeal to your Discord server? Well, adding emojis to your channel name can do the trick! In this article, we will show you how to put emojis in Discord names, making them more attractive and expressive.
Before we begin the steps of adding emojis to Discord channel names, consider the following points;
- Emojis may not be supported or displayed consistently across all devices and platforms. While Discord generally supports a wide variety of emojis, keep in mind that some users may not see them as they should if they’re using an older device.
- Use emojis in a way that is consistent with the guidelines and rules set forth by the server or the Discord community. Make sure you avoid using emojis that could be considered offensive, inappropriate, or contrary to community standards.
- You can add emojis to the server name if you have an administrator or moderator role in the server. Regular members without the necessary permissions cannot add or modify emojis in the hostname.
Note: For the demonstration, we will be using the Discord app on both Windows and Android platforms. However, if you’re using the Discord app on Mac or iOS, you can still follow the same steps.

Can you use Custom Emojis in your Discord Server or Channel Name
You can use custom emojis in Discord server text or voice channels, but not in the server name itself. Also, custom emojis added to the channel will not show up as actual images; they will instead appear as emoji codes (e.g.: <:emoji_name:emoji_id>).
At the time of this writing, you can only use emoticons that you get from Unicode websites. This is because Discord doesn’t parse emojis in channel names or hostnames like it does in messages or statuses. If you still want to add a custom emoji, move on to the next section.
Use custom emoji on Discord server
You can easily add custom emojis to the Discord server, as long as you have the necessary permissions. If you want to add animated emojis to your Discord server, you must have a Discord Nitro subscription.
Requirements to create custom emoji for Discord server;
- Custom emojis can be uploaded as .jpg, .png or .gif files. Discord emoji size must be under 256KB. For optimal results, the image should be 128×128 pixels, but Discord will resize larger images down to this size.
- The number of custom emojis you can have on the server depends on the server level. At level 0, you can have up to 50 custom emojis. This limit increases with server boost, up to 250 custom emojis at level 3.
- Emoji names must be at least 2 characters long and can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores. Emoji names are also case sensitive in Discord.
Let’s start with the steps.
On desktop
Step 1: Open the Discord app or website and navigate to the Discord server where you want to add the custom emoji and right click on it.
Step 2: From the drop-down menu, click Server settings and select Emojis.
You will be taken to a page where you can upload the emoji to Discord.
Step 3: Now click the Upload Emoji button, locate and double click the emoji on your PC to upload it to your Discord server.
With this, you have successfully added emojis to your Discord server. If you want to do the same thing with your cell phone, keep reading.

1. Can I use external emojis or just Discord’s built-in emojis?
You can add up to 50 regular custom emojis and 50 animations to the Discord server. This limitation ensures that there is a reasonable number of emojis available for use while maintaining server performance and usability. However, if your server is boosted, increasing your Boost Level will increase the emoji limit.
2. Is there a time limit for Discord emojis?
Once you’ve uploaded an emoji to the Discord server, there’s no specific time limit on how long the emoji will last. As long as the emoji is not removed by the server administrator, it will continue to be accessible to all server members.
