Useful tips

On this page you will find a list of all emoticons for Skype, their descriptions and secret codes, which must be entered to send emoticons to your interlocutors. Listed here are not only regular emoticons, but also hidden emoticons and even those that have been removed from Skype.

For your convenience, a special form has been developed with which you can:

Find emoji by specific words. For example, if you want to find New Year's emoji, enter " New Year" and only those emoticons that contain this word in the name of the emoticon, in the list of shortcuts or secret codes will be shown.
Filter emoticons based on their availability:
“All” - shows all emoticons without exception
“Hidden” - only hidden emoticons that few people know about
“Visible” - emoticons that are present in the emoticon palette
Show emoticons only for certain version Skype. For example, use this option to find out which emoticons are supported by your Skype or to make sure that the person you're talking to will see the emoticon you send. Please note that this is only for the Windows version of Skype.

Now, let's look at the list of emoticons, which contains 4 columns for each emoticon:

Smile. An animated picture (GIF) that is used in Skype chat. Please note that the speed and quality of the picture may differ slightly from the original emoticon. If you want to see a full-size image, click on the name of the emoticon.
Description. The name of the emoticon with a link to separate page, where you can see the full-size emoticon and find details about it. Also, this column contains labels that describe the emoticon and help you find similar emoticons. If you click on a shortcut, only emoji with that label will be shown (you can select multiple shortcuts to narrow down the list of emoji). To exclude a shortcut from the filter, click on it again.
Code. Typically, to send an emoji to Skype chat, users use the emoji palette. But there is another way - you can send it to your interlocutor special code, which turns into an emoticon when sent (by the way, this is the only way to send hidden emoticons). Each emoticon on Skype has one or more special codes and all are listed on this page (to show hidden codes just click on the symbol ↓ opposite the desired smiley).
Version. Contains information about which Skype versions This emoticon is supported for Windows. Examples:
* → means supported by all versions
2.3/* → from version 2.3 to current
*/3.4 → from the first version to 3.4
4.5/5.6 → starting from 4.5 to 5.6

It seems to many that such a widespread and easy-to-use program as Skype cannot even hide anything unknown today. But not everyone knows about the existence of the so-called hidden Skype emoticons. If their existence is news to you, then we hasten to lift the veil of secrecy.

Secret Skype emoticons: what they are and why

Hidden Skype emoticons are emoji that are not in the standard window with funny faces, which you can open when typing a message by clicking on “:-)”. They can only be added to your message by inserting a special code.

Why did the developers hide these emoticons? There is no specific answer to this question. Maybe because some of them are related to “adult” topics: swearing, alcohol, smoking. And also in order to somehow intrigue the audience - randomly opened emojis pleasantly surprise the user. In addition, many emoticons were introduced purely for employees of the Skype corporation - the pictures depict caricatures of them.

How to use hidden emoticons?

Secret emoticons can be embedded in your message by following these simple instructions:

Select the appropriate emoji from the tables below - copy its code, not forgetting the brackets, like this: (code).
Return to the Skype dialogue and simply paste the copy-paste into the desired location.
Send a message - instead of the code, the picture described in the table will appear. Your interlocutor will also see hidden Skype emoticons in the message.

Black Widow;
Tanks;
Nick Fury;
beautiful girl legs;

How to remove unnecessary emoticons in Skype?

Some users, on the contrary, want to hide emoticons in Skype, since developers are constantly adding new emoji that they don’t need - there are about several hundred of them in the collection. In addition, updates to the emoticon database sometimes cause the PC to freeze.

Disabling Skype updates does not solve the problem - new faces are downloaded independently of it. You can completely disable the display of all emoticons by following the following route: "Tools" - "Settings" - "Chats" - " Visual design". IN last section You need to uncheck the box next to the line “Show emoticons”.

For those who want to keep only the classic set of Skype emoji, you can hide the emoji of the new sets by following the following instructions:

Exit the program and make sure it is closed.
Go to system files- you need to find the Skype folder among their variety. Use the route: "Disk C" - "Username" - "App Data" - "Roaming" - "Skype" - "Your username in the program" - "Media_messaging" - "Emo_cache".
In the last section and will be contained in different folders all the variety of new emoticons - so it is recommended to delete them all.

Hidden Skype emoticons are tools that can be useful both for entertainment purposes - to surprise your interlocutor, and for business purposes - to use symbol pictures to replace the names of popular ones office programs. Each update of the Internet telephony application is marked by the release of a new batch of secret emoji, the codes of which users must unravel.

Cute animated gifs designed to reflect our emotions during online communication are an integral part of any messenger. For example, hidden emoticons in Skype are generally rightfully considered the best feature of the client, and ordinary emoticons in the program are almost the main part, without which the client is not the same. So why not touch on this topic by telling you in detail about various combinations, images and the like?

What are emoticons for Skype

First you need to figure out what these mysterious “smileys” actually are. Essentially, these are some kind of icons designed to display our mood, conveying it to the interlocutor. Initially, their set was limited (laughter, smile, sadness and crying), but now you can display a whole story in one emoticon.

They are divided into several types:

Text. They are available anywhere and everywhere, created from ordinary icons on the keyboard. Example: J.
Static. They are a picture, color or not, usually small in size.
Animated. Well, everything is clear here without words.

The third type predominates on Skype: static ones have long been replaced, and text messages are automatically replaced by their graphic counterpart when typing.

Think before sending emoticons! They are inappropriate in a serious business conversation.

That's sorted out. But the standard collection of emoticons is not always enough. Is it possible to expand their set?

Where to download emoticons for skype

And the answer to this question is positive. Of course, you won’t be able to download a smiley picture for free from any site, but you can use a wide variety of codes and “summon” animations that you didn’t even know existed.

All you need to do is dial into one of the search engines request: “Download Skype emoticons.” The very first few sites will give out huge tables with secret emoticons, whose number is this moment equals 256. All that remains for you is to select the one you need and write it down for yourself for later use.

By the way, most of the excellent emoticons will be presented in the same article, just a little lower.

You can also search the English-speaking part of the Internet by typing the query: “smiles hidden.”

Always pay attention to the version! An emoticon designed for version 7.0 and higher will not work on Skype with version 5.0. On the contrary: some old emoticons have already been removed in the new updates.

Finally, when the desired picture has already been selected, only one question remains: how can I send it to my interlocutor?

How to add emoticons to Skype

You are probably already anticipating a long and boring instruction on how to write emoticons and how to add them. You think you will have to rummage through the program codes, install additional plugins, new software. No matter how it is. It’s not for nothing that Skype is considered the most a simple manager for communication.

All you need is:

Find the code of the animation you are interested in.
Open Skype.
Make sure that required version program matches yours.
Copy this very code.
Paste it into the chat.

That's all.

Please note! You just need to copy it. As a rule, the commands for emoticons are quite lengthy, and any incorrectly typed letter will destroy the entire effect.

But this all gets boring. Is it possible to do something yourself?

How to make your own emoticons on Skype

And this question cannot be answered unambiguously. Basically, load new picture you can't, but who said that all famous emoticons are already open?

As you might have already guessed, almost every emoticon displays a word, for example, “sun” or “heart”. At the same time, the writing rules also remain unchanged, namely “(English word)”.

So who's stopping you from experimenting? Arm yourself with an English-Russian dictionary, type your own commands, and suddenly happiness will smile on you? In the end, closed emoticons That's why they're closed, you have to look for them - full list Surely no one will give it to you.

It's better to do this in an empty chat. Who knows, maybe you will open an obscene emoji and, without knowing it, send it to your boss.

By the way, they are needed not only for communication.

Installing emoticons in Skype for a name

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add an animated smiley face to our nickname, although there is a reason for this. But don't despair. Use text combinations, they are no worse.

And even if you can’t make such an animated nickname, you can add emoticons to your status! And this significantly expands the functionality and makes life a little easier. For example, instead of long message on the topic "good weather and good mood”, for which there are not enough symbols, you can simply put a smiling sun.

To do this, just insert instead of text into the status required code(just like when sending) and save. That's all!

Finally, let's pay a little attention to standard pictures.

How to send emoticons via skype

Everyone understands how to use additional emoticons, but what to do with the standard ones? Every time typing a code for a simple kitten is a little annoying. Is there really no menu? Of course I have.

You need:

Open a chat with the person you are interested in.
Go to text field.
To the right of the text, next to the send button, find a smiling face.
Click on it.
In a conveniently sorted catalog, select the desired icon (when you hover over it, the picture will begin to move).
Click on it.

The emoji you select will automatically be sent to the text field.

If you send it like this without adding text, the emoticon will be slightly larger than usual.

But if that's still not enough for you, Skype can offer you something original.

Are there video emoticons on Skype?

Small emoticons in gif format, which are short excerpts from popular shows, films and animated series. Moreover, they not only have funny animation, but also sound that matches the situation.

The meaning of these emoticons is usually humorous, and they are intended not so much for communication as for laughing at funny moments.

They are very easy to find. Simply open the window with emoticons (how to do this is described above) and find several icons at the bottom. The first is standard emoticons, but the rest are sorted gifs, the so-called “moji”.

But if this is not enough for you to be original, you have only one way out.

But creating one directly on Skype is not very convenient - transfers, incorrect scale and just lags. It is much better to use special services.

To search for them, just type: “Create a picture from emoticons Skype online" As a rule, the interface of such sites is the same. You choose the size of the picture, visually fill it with emoticons, looking at the picture, and then you just get the same picture, but written in codes. You paste it into the chat and you're done!

There is also a simpler option.

Video review

It has gained enormous popularity for a very long time, and almost every person on the Internet uses it.

Of course, this messenger has its own system of emoticons, the design of which the team of artists really worked on.

All of them are called through a special window, but Skype also has hidden images that cannot be used without knowing a special command.

This article is dedicated to such emoticons.

What is a smiley

Smiley is an expression that comes from the English word Smile– that is, a smile.

In fact, this is a small image of an emotion, with which you can indicate how the user is feeling at the moment.

If earlier such images were made using typographic symbols and letters, now each forum has its own set of pictures, with the help of which the expression of emotions has become easier.

Their main function is to simplify text communication. Obviously, in a chat window it is impossible to express the entire palette of emotions that a person is currently experiencing, so to simplify such situations, pictures of different states are used.

Yes, it’s much easier, instead of writing “I’m completely perplexed,” to send a characteristic emoticon - and people will understand.

In this case, the images most often represent a small face made of pixels.

In Skype, emoticons are distinguished by their good detail, large sizes and even animation - and using them is a pleasure, since they look much more colorful than the classic ones.

Examples of using Smile

Unlike other services, such as Skype, there are two ways to insert emoticons.

First- by entering its code, when you attribute some emotion or phrase in text, which in the correspondence window already changes to an image.

This is convenient if you do not want to take your hands off the keyboard, and remember well all the combinations that call up pictures.

Second The same method is using a special window, which is called up by clicking on the smiley face in the corner of the text editor. There you can find the image you need and insert it into your message.

In addition, this is where you can see what the emoticon will look like in a message - when you hover over it, an enlarged and animated version of the picture will be shown in all its glory.

As mentioned above, not the entire set is used in the window for calling up emoticons. Initially there were more of them, but many of the images were removed at the request of users.

But this does not apply to hidden pictures, which were always in the system, but they could only be called with certain codes.

Below is a table with codes for common emoticons, as well as what they mean.

Some combinations are used by people all the time, thanks to which they are automatically changed to emoticons, but some you will have to really remember, or search for a long time in the list of Skype emotions.

Most likely, they were made secret simply because the standard list of Skype emotions has more understandable analogues of the above pictures, or the application developers simply placed here emoticons that were very rarely used before, but which they do not want to delete.

How can they be used?

Of course, first of all, in order to easily and simply display your emotions. If you cannot express them in words, then simply send a suitable emoticon, and the interlocutor will immediately understand you.

This largely applies to the standard list of emotions, since it is quite large, and you can find a picture for every taste.

Another way is to put them in status.

Yes, using the code you can put emotions in the status, and then instead of a phrase, for example, “Working”, you will see a characteristic emoticon.

This makes your profile more colorful and individual, and also more understandable to ordinary visitors and friends.

You can simply put a cheerful face to cheer yourself and others up when they visit your profile.

In addition, some people use regular emoticons as their “trick” or signature - simply by using them often. This also affects the user's personality and recognition.

Why not - if you find an emotion that completely characterizes or is similar to you, then this can be used as a trick! Moreover, with such a variety of emotional images it becomes quite easy.

There is one more method of using emoticons, but it is very specific, and requires an understanding of what needs to be done.

You can draw large pictures and images from emotions - and thus delight your friends and comrades by sending them similar paintings with or without reason.

In order to start doing this, you need to follow a few simple steps:

1. First of all, you need to understand the proportions of what you are drawing.

Ideally, make a small sketch, even on a piece of paper, to understand how to fill the picture and what colors to use. Approach this process as if you were actually drawing.

Calculate how long each element of the picture will be, how many images of emotions there will be for each line. Start with the simplest - for example, an image of a heart, or just geometric shapes.

2. Select a set of emoticons that you will use in the process.

Remember that they are animated, so the final product may differ from what you originally intended. It's worth taking this into account.

Using the table presented, select the codes, since in text editor Skype pictures are not displayed quite correctly.

3. After that, using the codes, start drawing.

Just copy and paste each combination as needed and make sure that the proportions shown in the first step are strictly followed. It's best to do this in notepad or Microsoft Word– in order not to accidentally send an unfinished picture.

With this you can congratulate your birthday, express your feelings, or simply please your friend - and the pictures are limited only by your imagination.

Practice on simple images, and then gradually complicate the canvases - and they will turn out to be real masterpieces that can please many.

Below are several examples of such images, from very simple to quite complex.

Some even use emoticons to compose entire stories - to do this, they simply use images in different sequences.

However, this way of using emotions makes communication a little more difficult - instead of simplifying it.

In general, that's all that can be said about emoticons and secret emotions in Skype.

Don’t forget about the codes, and if you often communicate in this messenger, be sure to try creating canvases and images from different faces.

Everything you need for this is described above.

Do you have any favorite emoticons? Which one do you use most often on Skype? Or maybe you just draw pictures with them - if so, then share your work.
