Questions answered

How do I add Veadotube Mini to OBS so my PNG avatar appears on stream?

What image format or prep do I need for smooth PNGTuber states?

Use transparent PNGs (or GIFs) cropped and centered consistently for open/closed mouth and blink states; remove backgrounds with an editor or online tool and ensure you have usage rights.

Can I switch between multiple avatar states during a live stream?

How do I make the mouth open only when I speak?

Use the avatar settings to save your configuration as a VAO file; load that file on another computer to preserve hotkeys, states, and positions.
