So,I will show you how to get emojis on your keyboard at your desk.

Whether you are working on your drafts in an application like Microsoft Word, natively on a specific social media platform or within your social media scheduler, accessing emojis works the same way.

It is super simple and easy to access on a Windows or a Mac computer.

Making Sure the Emoji Keyboard is On in Your Settings

Check your system preferences if you don’t get the emoji keyboard right away.

Under the keyboard setting, there should be a checkbox there to select.

Voila, now you can scroll through all the different emojis and pick the one(s) that I want to use. Or you can start to type a word such as party and insert the ones you wish.

That is the quick and easy way to include emojis in your social media posts, even if you’re using your desktop to create the posts.
