kigu

No green screen, no chroma key, no green fringe around your partners. kigu puts up to eight VTubers on one stream: everyone sends their avatar straight from their VTuber app, and each of you gets the whole group with real transparency, at up to 1440p (4K on capable GPUs), as a Spout source for OBS. Want each partner on their own OBS source instead? That works too.

Send your partners a ticket or a join link, approve them, and they're in. There's no server to set up and no ports to forward. The video is encrypted end to end and goes straight between your PCs whenever your network allows. Your GPU does the heavy lifting, so your CPU stays free for the stream.

Arrange everyone in the scene editor: move, resize, crop, rotate, flip and mask each layer, on a landscape or vertical canvas. Keep talking on Discord like you always do; kigu suggests how much to delay the call so voices line up with the avatars.

kigu updates itself and never restarts in the middle of a collab. Free, with no account, no ads and nothing locked behind payment.
