About this kit

Gaming has its own shorthand and most of it fits in a single emoji: a red dot means recording, a fist bump means good game, a stop button means the stream is over for tonight. Streamers post a weekly schedule, esports teams announce a roster or a match, Discord servers pin a rules post, and indie studios share a build update, all in the same compact language. This kit is arranged by what the post is doing. The controls set covers going live, recording and signing off, the setup set brings the desk and its hardware, the reactions set handles the win, the loss and the clutch, and the lobby set is for the people you play with. Keep one control emoji at the start of a schedule line, write the game title and start time in words, and let the fist bump do the goodbye.

Using these emoji well

  • Put one control emoji at the start of each schedule line so a follower can scan for the red dot without reading everything.
  • Use the SOS and game-over marks for jokes about a hard boss, never for a real complaint about a player or a moderator.
  • A screen reader announces "record button" or "oncoming fist" literally, so the game title, start time and link have to appear as text.
