Streamline your VTube Studio experience

VTube Studio is a free software that allows you to control your Live2D Model in real time. As VTubers continue to grow, it can be difficult to manage multiple toggles and actions smoothly. Stream Deck offers an easy solution to manage actions like Trigger Hotkey, Change Model, Move Model, and more with our VTube Studio plugin created by Cazzar.

VTube Studio actions

Before we dive into how to connect VTube Studio with Stream Deck, let's take a quick look at the actions.

Change Model

Switch instantly between different models.

Trigger Hotkey

Select a model — once you've set up your hotkeys within VTube Studio, all your toggles will be listed. This makes it easy to use different expressions or animations for each model.

Move Model

Move your model, adjust its size, and rotate it to get the perfect position.

Scale Model

Enlarge or shrink your model, ensuring it's the right fit for your stream.

Reload Model

Refresh your model, which is helpful for making any changes outside of VTube Studio.
