Emotes - always getting a message "not able to play an emote at this moment"

Hello everyone. :smile:

I am playing ESO since December 2017 and I really love the game, especially the exploration.

I have noticed that there is an option to make your character dance or play an instrument (and do many other things).
I would like to know what do I have to type in chat to make my character do certain emotes, cause every time I type for example "/dance" I get the notification that the emote can't be played at this time.

I am thankful for every feedback, that can help. :smile:

    Are you trying it while in a (character) menu, i.e. Settings or Inventory?
    That doesn't work as far as I know.

    PC? Have you tried with No Addons loaded? Are you in combat?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    The problem was that I was always pressing ESC button and then trying to access the Chat. :blush:

    I know...sounds like a total nO0b, but hey, now everything works. :smiley:

    Once again, thank you. :smile:
