## Summary

This video is a step-by-step tutorial for running VTube Studio Mobile on Android and iPhone, covering everything from installing the app to importing a 2D Live2D model and starting a stream. It explains the required PC file transfer for both platforms, basic avatar configuration, and how to go live on Twitch and YouTube with chat overlays.

### Key Points

- **Install VTube Studio** [00:16] — Search for VTube Studio in the App Store (iPhone) or Play Store (Android) and install it.
- **Grant permissions and set up** [00:29] — Accept app permissions, connect your phone to a 5 GHz network, tap the red person icon at the top left, and select import model.
- **Transfer your 2D model via PC (Android)** [00:45] — Connect your phone to a PC and navigate to Internal Storage > Android > data > VTube Studio > files > live2d models, then drop your model folder there. VRM files will not work; only 2D Live2D models are supported.
- **Transfer via iTunes (iPhone)** [01:25] — With iTunes open, click your phone, open VTube Studio's folders, navigate to live2d models, save it somewhere accessible, drop in your model folder, then drag the folder back into iTunes and click replace.
- **Load your model** [01:53] — Reopen VTube Studio, tap the person icon, scroll right to find your model, click it to load, and accept any warning that appears.
- **Choose a background** [02:23] — Tap the green icon to browse backgrounds; the creator recommends a green screen for streaming.
- **Adjust avatar settings** [02:37] — Tap the pink gear icon, keep most settings at default, enable the microphone setting to sync lips, set 'Link eye blinking' to always, and leave the rest unchanged.
- **Go live on Twitch** [03:33] — In the Twitch app, tap +, choose Stream Games, then Just Chatting, edit the stream title, enable 'Appear on top' so Twitch overlays VTube Studio, then switch back to VTube Studio and press the gold Go Live button.
- **Go live on YouTube** [04:24] — In the YouTube app, tap +, choose Edit, select Screencast, enable Advanced Settings > Live Chat, set the correct audience, continue, turn on 'Appear on top' for YouTube, then start the stream from VTube Studio.

### Conclusion

Once the model is imported and the settings are adjusted, you can start streaming immediately on Twitch or YouTube. The key constraint to remember is that only 2D Live2D models are supported, and the initial file transfer must be done through a PC.

go-to application for mobile vtubers so whether you're on Android or Apple this is the tutorial for you the first thing we're going to do is open up the app store if you're on iPhone or the Play Store if you're on Android with your
preferred store now open we're going to type into the search field for vtube studio and install it now that vtube studio mobile is installed let's open it up when the app opens up it's going to ask us for some permissions we want to
say yes or allowed to those permissions we also want to make sure that our phone is connected to a 5 GHz Network on the app screen we want to click on the little red person icon on the top left hand side and then click on import model
once we do that it's going to give us an install path or where we need to drop our model into unfortunately for this next step we have to connect our phone to a PC due to some restrictions with Android and Apple there is just simply
no other way of doing this for Android what we want to do is just click on our phone go to internal storage click on Android then we want to click on data then we want to find the one Fuller SS vtu Studio go into files once we're in
files we want to find live 2D models and that's where we're going to drag and drop our model into please remember that vrm files will not work for this this vrm files will not work for this this has to be a 2d model so you're going to
have to drop in your folder with iTunes open all we want to do now is is just click on our phone click on vtube Studio to open up its folders then we want to click on live 2D models save it to somewhere we can find it so we can drop
in our file we then want to open that folder drag and drop our live 2D model into that folder then you'll see our Avatar has been added into that folder we then want to grab that folder that we just dropped our model into drag and
drop it back into iTunes and then click replace and just like that your avatar has been added to mobile vtube Studio we want to reopen the application click on the little person icon then we want to scroll over to the right a little bit
until you find your model click on it so it can load your avatar a warning may appear just click okay and just like that you now have a working model in the mobile version of vtube Studio let's now get our Avatar ready for some streaming
let's click on the green little icon there and then scroll through the backgrounds until we can find the one that we think might match us the best I will probably end up going for a green screen for myself the next thing we want
to do is click on the little pink Icon which is the gear icon we're going to lot of these settings I'm going to say probably leave on default I don't really see anything you could turn on the used microphone to match your lips up better
when you are talking we're going to click on the camera icon and again a lot of this is going to be staying the same except for link eye blinking I'm going to say to always so no matter which position we're in it just blinks like it
probably should we're going to click on the person icon and again all this stuff we're just going to leave it as default for now uh if you guys want more cover that down the road now that our mobile version of
vtube studio is set up let's get it connected to Twitch and then connected to Twitch and then YouTube at time are you a new vtuber or a little bit of help consider joining my Discord we have thousands of members
the proper assistance that you may require links are in the description down below once you open up the Twitch app what you want to do is click on the app what you want to do is click on the plus icon click on stream games click on
just chatting and edit your stream title to whatever it needs to be a popup will literally everything on your screen so make sure you don't have anything naughty on the background and appear on top menu will appear we're going to have
and then click it this will allow to run the application on top of vtube Studio you'll then see this screen up with the gold live button on the bottom left hand side you can then click that if you wish
but what I do suggest is you switch back over to the vtu studio app first and then click the go live button once you click the go live button chat will appear on the bottom left hand side as it normally would and you are now
twitch wouldn't let me screen record while it was running so I can't can't really show you a good example of it but trust me it does work with the YouTube open we want to click on the plus icon on the bottom middle be careful because
open up your camera we then want to click on the edit button and then scroll down until we see screencast we want to scroll down just a little bit more and make sure we check our advanced settings and make sure Live Chat is turned on and
then want to go through our select audience make sure that is set for the correct settings and then we want to click on the next button and appear on top menu will appear we want to scroll down until we find YouTube and make sure
down until we find YouTube and make sure we turn it on this will allow YouTube to overlay on vtube studio so we can see chat and all that fun Jazz once we're done doing all that we want to flip over back to YouTube studio and well stream
