Open-source streaming, upload, and social platform for VTubers.
Built for creators who use animated avatars to perform, stream, and connect with their audiences.

VTubers.TV is a transparent and privacy-respecting platform for virtual entertainers.
It supports live streaming, video uploads, community features, and monetization tools.
The platform is open-source under the MIT-Community License, allowing anyone to study, modify, and improve it.

Our goal is to create a fair and sustainable home for VTubers and digital creators.
We focus on transparency, privacy, and accessibility instead of advertising or algorithmic control.

Key principles:

• Open-source code and clear decision-making.
• Fair revenue sharing and low platform fees.
• Respect for user privacy and creator autonomy.
• Inclusive access across languages and regions.

VTubers.TV uses open technologies that are proven and reliable:

• Next.js for the web interface.
• Node.js for backend APIs and events.
• Supabase for authentication and data storage.
• Redis for caching and real-time updates.
• FFmpeg for video processing and streaming.
• Docker for deployment and scaling.

Each part of the system is modular and can be replaced or improved by contributors.

• Low-latency live streaming with chat.
• Video uploads with automatic transcoding.
• Creator dashboards with analytics.
• Simple and transparent payout system.
• Customizable creator profiles.
• Optional social features for collaboration and discovery.
• Tools for agencies to manage their creators.
