Emote Approval & Unlisted Status
When you upload an emote as Public, it enters a review queue before it becomes fully visible to everyone on 7TV.
🕒 Approval Time: There may be a short waiting period while moderators review the emote for public use.
🚫 Unlisted: Until it's approved, the emote will appear as unlisted — meaning it won’t show up in public search and will only be visible to people that have 'View unlisted emotes' enabled.
💎 Subscriber Priority: If you're a subscriber, your emote may be reviewed faster with priority placement in the approval queue.
What Happens Next?
Once uploaded:
The emote will appear in your 'Uploaded Emotes' tab in your account.
You can use it instantly in chat if the extension is installed and the emote is added to the chat.
