How to Use Skype Emoji Shortcuts?
Using Emoji Shortcuts in Skype for Business
It is very easy to use. When you are in the chat window, type or copy / paste the shortcuts and press enter. Ensure to use the text shortcuts within the brackets like (bow). Below is how it will look like on Skype for Business.
Using on Personal Skype App
On Skype for personal app, you can type the shortcuts on the conversation messages. Also, it is easy to filter the results by typing the shortcut in the search box.
The shortcuts produce animated GIF emoji icons on the conversation panel. For example, sending the message like (beer) will show the animated beer emoji icon like below.
Using Emoji Picker in Skype
Skype also has an emoji picker that contains most of these shortcuts. When you are in the chat window, click on the smiley icon to view the emoji picker. You can select any emoji to insert in your conversation. Hover the mouse over any emoticon to find the corresponding keyboard shortcut for that symbol. For example, the hands up yes emoji has a keyboard shortcut like (y).
Getting Reverse Shortcut from Emoji
It is also possible to get the keyboard for any Skype emoji.
- Select the emoticon from emoji picker.
- Copy that and paste on Microsoft Word or PowerPoint document or Outlook email.
- You will get the keyboard shortcut in text format.
- For example, copying and pasting the bear or hug emoji will show you the shortcut text as (hug).
Using Emojis on Skype Mobile Apps
On mobiles, you can easily use the built-in iOS and Android emojis from the keyboard. In addition, you can also tap on the emoji icon on the Skype app to select your favorite emoji. If that is difficult for you then copy and paste the text shortcut from the above table to send emojis in the conversations.
Using Emojis from Windows and Mac
Using Emoji Keyboard in Windows App
The Skype emoji picker offers 110 emoticons in a single panel. If these icons are not sufficient, you can also use Windows 10 emoji keyboard to insert additional symbols in the Skype chat.
- Click inside the text pane in the chat window.
- Press Win and , keys together. Alternatively, press “Win + Semicolon” shortcut keys to open Windows emoji keyboard.
- Search for the symbol and double click to insert in the chat text.
Though this works for most symbols, some symbols will not display properly. For example, you can easily insert heavy tick mark symbol like ✔. However, when you insert a dino cat 🐱🐉 emoji, it will be inserted as two symbols like 🐱 cat and 🐉 dragon. Also, emoji symbols inserted with Windows emoji keyboard will not have any text conversion.
Using Emoji Keyboard in Mac App
We recommend to use the animated emojis in Skype Mac app. However, if you are more of a Mac guy then press “Control + Command + Space” to open Character Viewer app. You can search and insert from thousands of emojis and other symbols with variations.
