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?

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.
