About VLiva

VLiva is a Linux-native VTubing application designed for Live2D model loading, webcam-based tracking, real-time avatar control, and streaming workflows.

VLiva is maintained by an independent developer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Live2D Inc.

Development Status

VLiva may be provided as preview, beta, test, or early-access software.

Features may change, break, be removed, or behave differently between versions. Public testing and release availability may also depend on third-party SDK licensing, technical readiness, and platform support.

License to Use VLiva

You may use VLiva for personal, creative, testing, streaming, and content-production purposes, subject to these terms and any third-party licenses that apply.

You may not:

  • Reverse engineer, modify, or redistribute parts of VLiva in a way that violates applicable law or third-party licenses.
  • Remove copyright, license, or attribution notices.
  • Use VLiva to infringe the rights of other creators, model owners, software vendors, or third parties.
  • Misrepresent VLiva as an official Live2D Inc. product.
  • Sell, sublicense, or redistribute VLiva unless a license or written permission allows it.
