You can set an animation that will be shown in the Chat every time your viewers reach one of these Milestones, so they have something to look forward to in the process of achieving the Goal:

You will also be able to see a Motivation Progress Bar on top of your chat so you can have a quick look at how things are going:

In order to Tip your favorite streamers, first click the coin icon that appears in the chat message window, next to the emote button, then a series of “Kumotes” will appear for you to choose from:

In this case we chose the Mimi Kumote, we then click on the amount we want to tip and write a highlighted message of our wish:

Another shortcut way to to tip is by directly typing ‘Mimi’, for the mimi Kumotes, followed by the amount you want to donate and then add your message. If you want to use one of our other Kumotes you will have to type ‘Kudo’, ‘yarni, ‘bumbum’, ‘heart’, ‘blop’ or ‘brushy’ followed by the amount you want to tip and your message.
