Emote - in-game emote menu

The in-game emote menu.

Emotes are Marketplace assets that can be equipped by users to add animations users can perform on their characters. Emotes can only be used on the R15 rig type (including Rthro). The in-game emote menu allows users to choose one of their equipped emotes to perform. If a player is in another humanoid state such as swimming or sitting down, the player will receive a prompt telling them they cannot use an emote right now. Emotes can also be disabled by developer's choice.

List of emotes[]

The following is an extensive list of documented emotes. The list can also be viewed here.

An emote menu was added to the client on June 24, 2019, as well as a section for emotes to be purchased in the Marketplace. The first emotes to be added were Tilt, Stadium, and Salute. The emotes can be accessed in-game by the "..." icon on the top right and click "Emotes".

Before the implementation of the emote menu, players could also use these emotes by typing the general '/e' (emote name)' prefix.

It was removed after an hour of being live due to complaints from developers, including "the icon didn't fit well with the rest" and "this update was too sudden and uncalled for".[1] A few of the complaints were referencing the B key being overwritten without a warning. On July 1, 2019, an official follow up from Roblox was posted.[2]

On August 5, 2019, the emote menu was re-enabled, with the "B" key-bind removed. It was disabled again 2 hours after.

On August 19, 2019, the emote menu was once again re-enabled. It was confirmed in a blog post that it will stay.
