1. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-readable instructions, which when executed by a computer having at least one processor, cause the computer to:
generate a video including an animation of an avatar object of a distributor generated on the basis of motion data regarding a motion of the distributor and an animation of a token object given by a first viewer to the distributor operating according to a predetermined rule, the first viewer being associated with a first viewer terminal; and
transmit, toward a plurality of viewer terminals via a communication line, coordinate data including data regarding coordinates of the token object associated with a reference time, the plurality of viewer terminals comprising the first viewer terminal, and audio data regarding a voice of the distributor associated with the reference time, in order to cause each of the plurality of viewer terminals to generate a video including an animation of the avatar object and the token object, wherein:
in the video generated by each of the plurality of viewer terminals, the token object can be disposed in accordance with the data regarding the coordinates of the token object associated with the reference time,
the avatar object is displayed to operate in synchronization with the motion of the distributor,
data regarding the viewer who has given the token object to the distributor are displayed in connection with the token object,
the animation of the avatar object generated by the computer is the same as the animation of the avatar object generated by each of the plurality of viewer terminals, and
