How to Equip and Use Emotes in Roblox

Get your dancing shoes on!

As useful as the chat feature in Roblox may be, it sometimes doesn't quite capture the message you're trying to send. If you're looking for a better way to talk to other players, or simply a more exciting way to communicate, then emotes are definitely for you. Equipping these to your Roblox character will allow you to access your favorites in no time, meaning you'll be able to keep up with any conversations or situations you may find yourself in.
