Basics

VTube Studio is an app available for iPhone/iPad, Android, macOS and Windows. The app uses your smartphone or webcam to track your face and animate a Live2D Cubism Model accordingly. 3D models are not supported. The model is shown directly on your phone or on your PC by streaming the face-tracking data over your local network from your phone to your PC/Mac.

VTUBE STUDIO ONLY SUPPORTS LIVE2D MODELS. VROID/VRM IS NOT SUPPORTED. PLEASE USE OTHER APPS LIKE VSEEFACE FOR THAT. YOU CAN USE VTUBE STUDIO TO CONTROL YOUR MODELS IN VSEEFACE USING HIGH QUALITY IOS TRACKING.

Going purely by tracking quality, it's iOS > Webcam > Android

Where to download?

To run VTube Studio, you need to download the smartphone app (Android or iOS) and/or the desktop app on Steam (Windows or macOS). If you only want to use your webcam, you don't need the smartphone app.

Supported Devices (Webcam Tracking)

Any webcam will do, better picture quality means better tracking. Generally, a resolution of 1280x720 or above is recommended for good eye- and blink-tracking. Framerates between 15-30 FPS are sufficient for good tracking. Some users reported problems when using DSLR cameras.
