Yesterday (September 12, 2021) on Twitter, along with Ryan Watt, BetterTTV also announced that their emotes will now be available on YouTube live chats as well. Better Twitch TV is a project by the community that is responsible for adding new features to Twitch’s website.

They look to improve the overall experience of the viewers while keeping in mind the necessities of a streamer as well. All extra emotes and ban/unban features along with much more are all the work of BetterTTV.

The update is coming out slowly but surely on all browsers as BTTV waits for “Google to approve their application”. It has been noticed that all browsers other than Google Chrome get the updates much faster as the officials at Google generally take their sweet time when it comes to reviews the updates.

BetterTTV also plans on adding a feature that will enable Twitch and YouTube accounts to be linked to each other. This way, users will be able to use the same emotes across both the major streaming platforms. Unfortunately, this might only be available for BTTV Pro Subscription.

Twitch’s emotes now coming to YouTube bridges the gap between the two even further. Which platform do you think will come out on top in the coming years?
