Better Zoom Chat Extension

Adds some Twitch, BTTV, and Frankerfacez emotes to the zoom chat window on browser.

How to Use

This extension only works with the Zoom's web client. To make it easier to launch the web client, I recommend using the extension's 'Launch Meeting' button rather than the blue one that prompts to open the downloaded client. If that does not work, click the links below the button and cancel the download. A new link to take you to the browser version should appear. Click that one.

If emotes don't show up, open and close the extension panel.

Since I added emotes individually, not all of them are available. The objects in content.js list all the currently supported emotes.

For instructions on how to use and contribute, visit the project's GitHub here: https://github.com/nadivgold/betterzoomchat.

Feel free to make a PR to add your favorite emotes.

This was made for fun and not for commercial use. Please don't sue me thanks.
