In Lethal Company, it exists two basic emotes : Press the button 1 to dance and on the button 2 to point the finger at.
If you want to take it a step further, there's a mod that lets you unlock many more.
How do I use emotes in the game?

- To dance : Press the button 1.
- To point a finger : Press the button 2.
The Emote point is the most strategic both. Some creatures from Lethal Company react to voice chat sounds, so specify a position in silence becomes a real asset when facing monsters.
The Emote dance, on the other hand, is mainly for having fun and celebrating. You can throw it while holding a small object, but not when you're wearing a heavy load carried with both hands.
What are emotes used for in Lethal Company?
Both emotes have a specific purpose. One is for fun, and the other is for communicating quickly with your team.
1. Dancing
L'dance emote is, above all, a entertainment. When things go wrong, you can use it to boost your teammates' morale: throw a dance party for 4 to unwind after a stressful moment, such as when the Ghost Girl sets off in pursuit of someone.
2. Point
L'check-in emote is much more tactical. It replaces voice communication when you need to act quickly and quietly. You use it to show where the enemies are or for to highlight an important point that your teammates need to spot. A simple call can sometimes prevent a long back-and-forth during a tense moment.
