About VTube Studio

✦ AI summary

Transform yourself into a Live2D VTuber with professional-grade face tracking, lipsync, and model control powered by your webcam. VTube Studio offers complete creative freedom with hotkey animations, custom item placement, and seamless streaming software integration—all free with optional watermark removal.


VTube Studio is finally coming to Steam!



VTube Studio is the tool of choice for any Live2D VTuber! With a wide variety of features, it has never been easier to connect with your viewers!! VTube Studio can be used directly with your webcam on any Windows PC or Mac.

VTube Studio also supports other advanced tracking inputs to control your Live2D model, including audio-based lipsync (requires microphone). Details can be found in the documentation.

VTube Studio on Steam is free to use with all its features!! An optional "Remove Watermark" DLC exists that will remove the (very cute) watermark that would otherwise be shown when the webcam tracking is active.

Using VTube Studio is really easy!! Load your own Live2D Cubism model, run the auto-setup (or do the setup manually), start the tracker and you're good to go. VTube Studio works well with OBS, Streamlabs or any other streaming software.

VTube Studio comes with a few simple example models, but you obviously want to import your own models!! VTube Studio ONLY supports Live2D Cubism models, other formats like VRoid are not supported. No support for other formats is planned.

If you ever get stuck, there's a complete documentation available as well as an active Discord community that's happy to help out new users!

What can VTube Studio do?



VTube Studio comes with tons of fun features you can try out and use to have fun with your viewers. Future development of VTube Studio will focus on community/viewer interaction, so please look forward to that!!

  • Commercial usage is allowed (YouTube, Twitch, Superchats, ...) See license for more details.
  • ...and many more!! Got a cool feature you think people would like? Join our Discord and let us know, most features and improvements were suggested or inspired by user feedback.

How does the webcam-based face tracking work?



Thanks to Emiliana from VSeeFace, VTube Studio now directly supports webcam-based face tracking powered by OpenSeeFace!! It comes with various quality levels so it will even run on low-spec PCs or Macs. It's free to use but will show a watermark if you don't buy the "Remove Watermark" DLC, available now.

Football Manager 27 Game Pass, and what the old FMs now cost

FM27 landed on 10 November, and Football Manager 27 Game Pass covers it on PC from day one. Steam has stopped selling FM26 and FM24 — our price record shows what that does.

Games like Frostpunk, where the law book does the damage

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.

Which King's Bounty game to buy, and which two to skip

Which King's Bounty game to buy, when one of the six already contains another and two are side-stories. Six price records, two studios, and one clear answer.

Knightica free on Epic from 12 November: do not buy it now

Knightica free on Epic runs 12 to 19 November. Our record has logged it at barely over a dollar at a keyshop every day since late September, so there is nothing to wait for and no reason to pay.
