What's new in 2.0
Everything added in Vfinity 2.0 Alpha, from YouTube, Twitch and Kick to Blueprint mode, Quick Deck and games
Vfinity 2.0 brings Twitch, Kick and YouTube in beside TikTok LIVE, rebuilds the studio around a bottom dock, and adds tools you use by hand during a stream. Here is each alpha release in short, with a link to the full guide.
Still an alpha
Each alpha is an early-access build. Features may change and bugs are expected, so back up your settings before you upgrade and test your setup before you go live. After you update, refresh your Vfinity sources in OBS once. Upgrading shows how.
Alpha 0.4.0
Released October 10, 2026.
YouTube, a fourth platform
YouTube joins TikTok LIVE, Twitch and Kick, with no sign-in and no API key. Type your @handle or channel link in Channel or stream link to join whatever you are streaming, or paste a stream link to join one stream. A scheduled stream's chat works before the stream starts. Connect your platforms
Chat, Super Chats, Super Stickers, new members, membership milestones and gifted memberships run the same events, alerts, overlays, text to speech, goals and leaderboards as the other platforms. Custom channel emoji show in chat. Member, moderator and owner badges work with viewer rules, and a message YouTube holds for review appears once it is approved.
YouTube is read-only: Vfinity reads its chat but cannot send messages there. It gets a viewer count, a title-bar pill and Connect on launch, the Stream ends trigger runs within a minute of the stream ending, and Vfinity rejoins on its own when the chat stops answering.
Super Chats and memberships count as gifts
A Super Chat counts as a gift worth 140 diamonds per US dollar by default, converted from the viewer's currency, and its message also arrives as chat. A gifted membership counts as "Gift Sub", the same name Twitch and Kick use, so one event covers all three. Change both rates under SettingsPoints. Points
YouTube Jewels gifts arrive as gifts under their own names, so you can map them by name. YouTube does not say what they cost, so they are worth no diamonds. Once YouTube has connected, the Dashboard simulator gets a Super Chat button.
Blueprint mode for events
Build an event as a graph of nodes and wires instead of a list of steps. Flow nodes such as Branch, Sequence, Delay, For Loop, Do Once and Random decide what runs, other nodes work with the trigger's data, math, text and variables, and an Action node runs any action step. Simple and Blueprint events live side by side, and an event can switch between the two editors. Blueprints
The editor opens full screen, with side panels you can resize. My Blueprint shows what each variable holds right now, with a reset, and a wire that cannot connect is marked with an X that says why.
TruePlay sound
Export one event
Export in the Blueprint editor saves one event to a file, with its trigger and the sounds and media it uses. Import opens it in any Blueprint, on this PC or another, and its VTube Studio hotkeys are matched to your model's by name. Blueprints
Clock and Countdown, Scene Card and Checklist
Three new overlay widgets. Clock and Countdown shows the time, the date, a countdown or a count-up. Scene Card covers your starting soon, be right back and ending screens, and Checklist shows a list you tick off live. Overlay widgets
More ways to style a widget
Every overlay widget shares one set of look controls: a round dial for the shadow's direction, opacity, rotation and scale, plus richer typography, frames and an exit animation. Copy a style from one widget to another or save it as a preset, and drag the widget into place on a stage preview. Overlays
A tidier Overlay library
The Overlay tab is now a library with categories, favorites, collections and a compact view, so a long list of widgets stays easy to find. Overlays
Chat laughs read as laughs
When chat types 555, www, ㅋㅋㅋ or jajaja, the voice laughs instead of reading out the letters. Fish Audio, Cartesia Sonic 3 and ElevenLabs v3 and v4 use a real laugh sound, and other voices say the laugh in their language. Turn on laugh styles for 17 languages one by one, add laughs of your own, and try a message to see how it will be read. Text to speech
The voice moved to Settings
Pick the text-to-speech voice in SettingsAudioVoice, where chat, alerts and Events lines share it. Chat and Events now have their own volume and speed, a speech step can set its own, and ElevenLabs v3 and v4 are new voice models. Chat TTS on the Overlay tab keeps the settings for what gets read, and a Quick Deck pad's volume now scales its spoken lines too. Text to speech
A go-live checklist
The Dashboard's readiness card is now one checklist. It says how many steps are left, offers the next one as a button, and shows your progress as a bar. VTube Studio, TikTok and every platform you turned on get a row with their state, any error and a Connect button of their own. The Dashboard
Rows marked Optional never hold back Ready to go live, and once everything is ready the list folds to one chip per connection. It asks for a Kick or YouTube channel you never set and shows the Twitch sign-in code in the Twitch row. Platforms you have not turned on link to their settings, and TikTok leaves the list if you stream only on other platforms and never set it up.
Hitboxes follow your head
Turn on Follow head tracking and leaning or tilting your head moves the throwing hitboxes with your model. Each scene sets how far they follow sideways, up and down, and with a tilt. The Throwing tab's preview follows the live model too, and a live readout shows whether VTube Studio is sending data. Throwing
Delete one stream
Remove a stream from your history with the trash button on its row, or with Delete stream under its recap. Both ask before anything is deleted. Stream recap
Lighter overlays, a faster app
OBS overlays do less work: a throwing scene with nothing flying stops redrawing, each overlay receives only the updates it shows, and a poll with 5,000 voters needs about half the work. On busy streams, chat floods and gift trains no longer redraw the whole window, events are checked against your rules about 10 times faster, and saving a large image or GIF no longer pauses the app.
A smaller download
The app is 3 MB smaller. The TikTok connector that comes with it is 30 MB smaller and reaches your live room about twice as fast.
Points kept on big streams
Twitch, Kick and YouTube viewers no longer lose their points once more than 2,000 viewers are tracked. They are also no longer merged with a TikTok viewer of the same name after a restart. Points and leaderboards
Alpha 0.3.0
Released October 4, 2026.
Private nicknames for viewers
Give a viewer a nickname from their viewer card in the chat window. It stays after a restart and syncs between chat windows, while OBS and text to speech keep using the viewer's own name. The chat window
Emotes in chat
Native Twitch, TikTok and Kick emotes show in the chat window and in OBS chat, along with 7TV, BTTV and FFZ emotes on Twitch. The chat window
Twitch channel point rewards as a trigger
The Twitch channel points trigger runs an event when a viewer redeems the reward you pick, or Any reward. Add a Play sound step to play a sound in the app or in OBS. Renaming a reward does not break the event, and duplicate redemptions are ignored. Triggers
Read emote names
A text-to-speech setting, on by default. Turn it off to read only the text and skip messages that are only emotes. Text to speech
Every new control in 0.3.0 has its label and help in all six languages.
Alpha 0.2.0

A new overlay where everyone who chats walks along the bottom of your stream as a little character with their profile picture for a head. Gifts, follows and likes make them jump, sparkle or send hearts. Viewer Buddies
Stream recap
Every stream in your history has a picture recap: the big numbers, a podium of your top three gifters, a wall of gifts and a chart of the stream. Save image makes a PNG, and Copy summary copies a short line to post. Stream recap
Alpha 0.1.0
Released September 25, 2026.

Easier to arrange action steps
Steps in an event's action list can be dragged into a new order, and the run mode (in order, all at once, or one at random) is a single switch. Build an event

Alpha 0.0.1
The first alpha.
Twitch and Kick

Twitch bits, gifted subs and channel point redemptions, and Kick Kicks, gifted subs and rewards, count as gifts worth a number of diamonds you set. New triggers cover raids and hype trains. Points
A voice for every viewer
Each viewer gets a text-to-speech voice of their own from your random pool and keeps it. Who has which voice lists every viewer's voice so you can preview it, reassign it or free it. Text to speech
