Multiplayer

VNet is VTube Studio's built-in online collaboration functionality, available as paid DLC for Windows and macOS.

It works for up to 4 people per collab session.
You HAVE to start VTube Studio through Steam to use VNet.
Any models and items (including Live2D Items) you load are automatically synced to other participants. There are currently no restrictions as to how many you can load.
With this, your collab participants will show up directly in your VTS, so you no longer have to deal with bad collab video quality.
You can even pin other participants' models to yourself.
Movement data is sent between participants via the Steam P2P network, so you have to be logged into Steam to use this and the person hosting the collab has to be Steam-friends with all participants.

Note: This page describes what VNet is and how to use it. If you want to learn about security aspects, please check out the page "VNet-Security".

How do I host/join a session?

There are two new buttons in the main menu:

[LEFT]: Collab Setup
- Use this for setting up or joining the collab. Will show private details such as Steam names, Steam IDs and Steam profile pictures.
[RIGHT]: Collab Control
- Use this during the collab. Will show who's in the collab but only shows nicknames and no personal info.

If you have any questions that this manual doesn't answer, please ask in the VTube Studio Discord !!
