You might want to get more interaction between your stream and your chat, Kappamon is a perfect tool for this. So here is a short guide about what a Kappamon is exactly, how to set it up and how to share it with your community.
What is Kappamon?
Kappamon is a browser source you can add to your stream overlay, which will interact with certain events that happen in your chat, for example when you get a new follower, subscriber, or even if someone gets banned.
The Kappamon is basically a small pet that sits in your stream and can have various forms. These will including cats, dogs, foxes, owls, robots, and others. You can also customize your Kappamon. However, you will need to pay for the so-called “mutations,” which are mostly color changes or some clothes.

Mutations

Step 4
Head back to your collection.

Step 5
Click on mutation and select the mutation you just bought.
-
Step 6
Open up your streaming software again and go into the settings of your Kappamon.
-
Step 7
Click on refresh cache of the current page, this will make sure that your changes also show up in your streams. (Do this every time you make a change on your Kappamon)
Secondary Kappamon
You can also add in a second Kappamon, so one listens to certain commands while the other listens to others. Greeting and banning are the commands done by one Kappamon, while new followers and subscribers are the commands done by the other.
-
Step 1
First, go to your profile and purchase a second Kappamon with either Kappapoints or Kappacoins by pressing on ‘Unlock Another Kappamon.’
-
Step 2
If you haven’t yet, go to the marketplace to purchase a second Kappamon.
-
Step 3
Then go to your collection page and choose your primary Kappamon, by pressing the blue “Choose primary” button.
-
Step 4
Now you have to click on the orange “Choose Secondary” button to choose your secondary Kappamon.
-
Step 5
By default all of the commands are active on both Kappamons, so you will have to go into Commands to disable the commands you want each Kappamon to respond too.
-
Step 6
Then you will have to re-enable them again, which will show a pop-up screen, in this screen you can choose which Kappamon you want to use for that command.
-
Step 7
Now you will have to add the Stream URL of the second Kappamon to your overlay. All you have to do is add a new Browser Source and make sure to keep the old browser source for your primary Kappamon.
And that’s how you customize your Kappamon with mutations and how you set up a secondary Kappamon.
