1. (Optional) Duplicate the Gesture Animation and Controller​

If you want to apply hypnosis phone on multiple avatars in one project, please duplicate gesture animation and controller for every avatar to prevent conflicts. Head to Assets/LuiStudio/Hypnosis Phone/Animations, choose the folder depend on the hand that holds the phone:

After the duplication, enter the duplicated folder and double click the animator controller(HypnosisPhoneGesture*Controlller)[1]. Click on the On[2] state in the Animator window.
