The Dashboard
Your connections, this stream's numbers, the event log and Quick Deck, arranged the way you like
The Dashboard is where you keep an eye on a stream: what's connected, how the stream is going, and each event as it arrives. Arrange its cards so what you need most sits at the top.
Know the cards
Each card has a name, which is what Customize mode and the right-click menu call it.
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Connections | The go-live checklist: VTube Studio, TikTok and each platform you go live on, each with its own Connect button, then the setup checks. |
| This stream | The numbers for this stream, with Past streams and Reset session. |
| Live events | The event log: each gift, follow, like and chat line as it arrives. |
| VTube Studio model | The loaded model and what Vfinity can use from it. |
| Throwing overlay | The address of the thrown-gifts page for OBS, and how many OBS sources are connected. |
| Testing | Testing tools: a simulator that sends pretend events, and a hotkey test. Raid and Hype train appear once Twitch has connected, and Super Chat once YouTube has. |
| Quick Deck | Big pads you press by hand during a stream. |
| Live alerts | Skip, pause or replay what your OBS alerts source shows. |
Check you're ready to go live
The Connections card is a checklist for going live. Its title says how many steps are left, such as "2 steps left before you go live", and Next names the step to take, with a button that does it. A bar under the title shows your progress, such as "3 of 5 done".
Under Connections, VTube Studio and TikTok each get a row, and so does every platform you turned on with Connect on launch: Twitch, Kick or YouTube. A row says where it stands in words, such as In the LIVE or Waiting for the LIVE to start, where it connects, and any error, with its own Connect button. Right-click a row to connect or disconnect, open its settings, or copy its error.
Under Before you start, Events ready to run needs at least one event switched on and set up; when there is none, Open Events takes you there. Overlay open in OBS and Live events arriving are marked Optional. They report what they see but never hold back Ready to go live.
The checklist also helps with each platform's own setup:
- A Kick or YouTube channel that was never set. The step reads "Set your Kick channel", and Set channel opens that platform's settings.
- Twitch sign-in. The code to enter in your browser shows in the Twitch row, with Open the page again and Cancel.
- Platforms you haven't turned on. Under Going live on more platforms?, click a platform to open its settings, then turn on Connect on launch to add it to the list. Connect your platforms covers each one.
- A stream without TikTok. If you turned on another platform and never set TikTok up, TikTok leaves the list, so it never holds back a Twitch, Kick or YouTube stream.
When every step is done, the title reads Ready to go live and the list folds to one chip per connection. Click Show details to see the rows again. At the bottom of the list, Run setup again opens the setup wizard.
Read this stream's numbers
This stream shows your totals since the session began: gifts, diamonds, likes, new followers, shares, comments, peak viewers and triggers fired. The time under This session is when it started, so you can see a reconnect didn't start it over.
These are the same totals your goal, counter and leaderboard overlays read, so the Dashboard always agrees with OBS. Once a second platform has sent events, a By platform table splits likes, gifts, diamonds, followers and comments by platform.
- Past streams opens your stream history and each stream's recap. Stream recap
- Reset session starts this stream's totals and leaderboards over. It asks first, and all-time totals and point balances stay. If you don't confirm, the question goes away by itself after a few seconds.
Follow the event log
Live events lists what viewers do, newest first. It shows the three latest events; Show details opens the rest, up to the most recent 100. Once a second platform has sent events, each line gets a dot for its platform.
Right-click a line to copy it, copy the viewer's name or their chat message, or clear the log. While it's empty, the card points you to the testing tools, so you can fill it without going live.
Arrange the cards
Start Customize
Click Customize at the top of the Dashboard. Each card shrinks to a toolbar and a short preview, so the whole layout fits on screen. The cards' own buttons don't respond until you finish, so a drag never presses one.
Move a card
Drag a card by its handle. A bar shows where it will land. You can also focus the handle and use the arrow keys.
Change its width
Pick S, M or L: a third, two thirds or the full width.
Hide what you don't use
Click a card's hide button. Hidden cards wait as chips in Hidden cards above the grid; click a chip to bring that card back.
Finish
Click Done. Changes save as you go, and Reset layout puts every card back where it started.
You can skip Customize for a quick change: right-click a card's own space to change its Width, Move up, Move down or hide it. Customize dashboard is in the same menu.
Press a pad
The Quick Deck card holds big picture pads for the moments you want to trigger yourself: a meme sound, a thank-you line, skipping an alert. Click a pad, or press 1 to 9 and 0 while the Dashboard is open.
Quick Deck covers adding pads, sounds and pictures.
