The new YouTube emojis will initially focus on the Gaming theme and will be updated with more themes in the future. Users can access these emojis by opening the emoticon set on YouTube. The new emojis will appear beneath the existing custom emojis on the channel.
YouTube is creating emoticons similar to Twitch
Similar to Twitch's system-wide default emojis, the new YouTube emojis also have specific names. This allows users to input names instead of searching for the emoji. For example, typing :cat-orange-whistling: will display the icon of an orange whistling cat in the comments. Previously, YouTube experimented with the feature of creating and sharing short clips, similar to Twitch, which garnered widespread acclaim.

It's not surprising that the Pogchamp emoji is currently not included in YouTube Emotes. YouTube even overlooks popular Twitch emojis like LUL. Additionally, other emojis such as Game Over, GG, and Buffering are all 'present.'
In a community post, YouTube announced that the company is beginning to roll out new emojis designed around the Gaming theme, aligning with Youtube Gaming. They aim to introduce emojis spanning various themes in the future, enhancing user interaction through emoticons. Additionally, you can download YouTube videos to your computer in high quality for leisurely viewing or offline moments.
The creators behind this new Gaming-themed emoji set are Abelle Hayford, Guy Field, and Yujin Won. Therefore, speculatively, YouTube users may expect to see more emoji sets featuring different themes created by independent artists in the future, according to Mytour's predictions.
