How to Stream With an AI VTuber Co-Host: The Living Avatars Streaming Guide
This guide walks through putting a Living Avatar on a live stream: an AI with its own personality and voice in a VTuber body, that reads your Twitch or Kick chat, talks with viewers and with you, and can run a show on its own on a schedule.
It covers setting OBS up through the RFab Companion App on your computer so the stream starts and stops with each show, adding the avatar's stage as a browser source, connecting the chat, choosing when it speaks, setting a show schedule so it opens and closes by the clock, banning words, and the kill switch. It also covers posting to X from the avatar's own account, joining a Discord voice channel as its own bot, and joining a video call by invite link.
Everything in the guide happens on the avatar's Live Deck, the page that runs the show. Your stream key and passwords stay on your own computer and are never sent to the site.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from VTube Studio?
VTube Studio animates a model that you perform. A Living Avatar has its own AI mind and voice: it talks to chat and to you without anyone performing it, and can co-host or run a show alone.
Can it stream while I'm away?
Yes. Set a schedule on the Live Deck and the show opens and closes by the clock, with a kill switch for anything unexpected.
Which platforms does it read chat from?
Twitch and Kick, and it can also post to X and sit in a Discord voice channel.
Is my stream key sent to the site?
No. The key and passwords go only to the companion app on your computer.
