My Look into the xQc Monkey App Thing
Alright, let me tell you how I ended up looking into this whole xQc monkey app situation the other day. It wasn’t anything planned, just sort of happened while I was killing time online.

I was just scrolling through some forums, you know, the usual stuff, checking out gaming threads and stream highlights. Then I started seeing these mentions, popping up here and there, about xQc and some kind of ‘monkey app’. Didn’t make much sense at first.
Getting Curious
So, my curiosity got the better of me. I thought, “What’s this all about now?” Sounded weird. I opened up a new tab and just started searching. Typed in stuff like “xqc monkey app”, “xqc stream monkey filter”, that kind of thing. Had to sift through a bunch of random clips and discussions.
Took me a bit, maybe ten, fifteen minutes of digging around. Found a few different clips people had posted.
- Clicked on one link, it was just chat spam. Useless.
- Tried another, it was a reaction video, but the guy talked too much. Skipped through it.
- Finally found a direct clip from his stream.
Seeing the Clip

So I watched it. Turns out, it looked like he was just messing around with some face filter or maybe a simple phone app during his stream. It put this goofy monkey face overlay on him. He was laughing, making monkey noises, doing his usual loud xQc thing. Looked like he was just entertaining himself and the chat, really.
Honestly? It didn’t strike me as some huge ‘incident’. Seemed pretty harmless, just a streamer being goofy to fill time or react to something. He used it for maybe a minute or two in the clip I saw, then moved on.
My Takeaway
I spent a bit more time looking to see why people were calling it an ‘incident’. Found some threads where folks were debating it, some thought it was funny, others maybe thought it was childish or something? Hard to tell sometimes online. People get worked up over anything.
For me, the process was simple:

- Saw some chatter.
- Got curious and searched around.
- Found the source clip.
- Watched it.
- Formed my own simple opinion: just a streamer doing streamer things.
Didn’t seem like a major drama, more like a typical Tuesday on the internet where something small gets briefly magnified. Anyway, that was my little dive into the xQc monkey app thing. Just another rabbit hole explored.
