# chatBubble

```lua
return function()
    local user = getUser('clonzeh');
    if user == nil then
        log('user does not exist!');
        return;
    end

    user.chatBubble('this is going display above the avatar\'s head!');
end
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
For emotes on twitch to display, they must first be read from chat before they can be used in chat bubble. For example 'kappa' will use the kappa emote only if someone has previously types Kappa into chat.
