Live Streaming with AI Avatars

Set up a complete live streaming pipeline with real-time AI avatars — from VTubing software and OBS integration to platform-specific optimization and audience engagement.

VTubing Software

OBS Integration

1. Set Up Avatar Software

   Launch your VTubing software and configure face tracking with your webcam or iPhone.

2. Configure Virtual Camera

   Enable the virtual camera output in your avatar software (Spout/NDI for best quality).

3. Add to OBS

   In OBS, add a new Video Capture source pointing to the virtual camera, or use Window Capture with chroma key.

4. Green Screen Removal

   Apply chroma key filter to remove the background, leaving just your avatar.

5. Scene Composition

   Layer your avatar over game capture, presentation slides, or custom backgrounds.
