Tour the studio
The title bar, the workspace and the dock, and what each part of the Vfinity window does
The Vfinity window has three parts: the title bar along the top, the workspace in the middle, and the dock at the bottom. Everything you need during a stream is one click or one shortcut away.
Switch areas with the dock
The dock at the bottom holds five tabs. Click one to fill the workspace with that area.
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your connections, this stream's numbers, the event log, Quick Deck and the testing tools. |
| Events | Your events, with the list beside the editor, and the recipe gallery. |
| Throwing | Gifts thrown at your model, its hitboxes and the items that fly. |
| Overlay | The widget library for OBS, and chat text to speech. |
| Settings | Connections, automation and rules, audio, appearance and language, points, and preferences and data. |
Where you run the stream: what's connected, this stream's numbers, every event as it arrives, and Quick Deck.
Pick a tab in the dock to see its page.
Right-click a tab for its shortcuts. Dashboard offers Quick Deck: stop all pads and Run setup again, Events offers New Event and Recipes, Throwing offers Clear items, and Settings lists every card by category, so any card is two moves away.
Work in the workspace
Events, Throwing, Overlay and Settings each put a list beside an editor, so you can see what you're changing and what else is there. An event you haven't saved yet stays in the editor when you switch tabs and come back.
In a small window with large text, the dock stacks each tab's label under its icon, so labels stay readable.
Read the title bar
From left to right, the title bar shows:
- The Vfinity name and version. Drag anywhere on the bar that isn't a button to move the window.
- Pause and Panic. The pause button holds your triggers, and the siren stops everything at once.
- Connection pills. One each for VTube Studio (VTS) and TikTok, plus Twitch, Kick and YouTube once you've connected them. Green is connected, amber is connecting or retrying, red is off.
- Tools. The magnifier opens search, the bell opens what's new, the terminal opens the debug console, and the sun or moon switches between light and dark mode.
- Window buttons. Minimize, maximize and close.
Rest the pointer on a pill to read its state in words, or right-click it to connect, disconnect or open its card in Settings. Connect your platforms has more on the pills.
Pause triggers, or stop everything
Click the pause button, Pause triggers, to hold your events. The title bar shows Paused, and a banner under it says what is held: events, auto-throws, text to speech and new alerts wait until you resume, while stats and the OBS event feed keep counting. Click Paused, or Resume triggers in the banner, to carry on.
The siren is Panic. It pauses all triggers and clears the action queue, text to speech, alerts and thrown items in one click, for the moment something goes wrong on stream.
Pause from anywhere
Pause and Panic are also commands, so you can put them on a global hotkey that works while another app has focus. See Hotkeys.
See what's new
A dot on the bell means there are release notes you haven't read. Click the bell to read them. They come from the online changelog, so without an internet connection the window says it couldn't load them.
Keep it in the tray
In SettingsPreferences & dataGlobal Preferences, Desktop and tray decides what minimize and close do. With Minimize to tray or Close button keeps Vfinity in the tray on, the window goes to the tray and everything keeps running.
