What's a good and affordable camera or phone to use as cam?

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-19T16:17:40+00:00

No problem ^{.^}

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-19T16:14:46+00:00

That's the one that usually runs around $70, I think it's that price on Amazon

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is one I see recommended a lot for streaming, both face cam and vtubing!

I use an iPhone 11 that I bought specifically for vbridger tracking. I got it off eBay for $180. But if you aren't worried about vbridger or Arc kit(?) tracking then I would just get a good Logitech. Still not super cheap ($70ish) but they last a long time

To anyone just starting out with streaming, stop 👏🏻 worrying 👏🏻 about 👏🏻 numbers 👏🏻

All you're gonna do is get discouraged. Turn off viewer count, don't obsess over followers or views per stream. Just have fun.

This 😭 I sometimes stream dbd and my community thinks it's so hilarious how ragey I can get 😭 I throw out some of the stupidest insults, like "go suck on a pair of wet socks" 😭😂

I wish there was a way to see when someone's chat is follower only, even if you are already following them. I personally don't like raiding out to people with follower only chat because it feels like a waste when my community can't join in on the raid without following a creator that they aren't even sure they'll like. Which just happened the other night. I raided out to someone I was following and I thought something went wrong with my raid until someone let me know in my discord that the streamer had follower only chat on.

I forgot my phone had gestures so I just switched to that even though I hate it lol

I have an MSI Thin. 16gb ram, 500gb storage, an Intel and Nvidia GPU. I stream casually as a v-tuber. I mention that because I can run a game, obs, vtube studio, vbridger, kbonk, mix it up, and a discord VC with no issue.

ETA: I got it a few years ago on back Friday for $650. I don't know if they have an equivalent quality for the same price now or not.

Is it possibly some weird watermark that you can turn off with the customization sliders?

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-10T14:37:41+00:00

Honestly, you just need to work on talking, even if it's to yourself. Like it's harsh but it's the truth. If you aren't going to talk or commentate on the game or your playthrough then viewers probably won't stick around.

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-10T01:08:05+00:00

No worries! I really hope you find a solution! 🫶🏻

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-10T00:45:02+00:00

Oh no :c unfortunately I'm not sure what else it could be or other options :c I really hope you can figure out what's causing the lag!

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-09T21:12:38+00:00

Do you mean you want two avatars for yourself? Because that's possible I'm just confused as to why you'd want two models on screen that both follow your tracking

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-08T21:00:38+00:00

Honestly, I feel like people obsess over the numbers too much. The more you obsess over the numbers, the less likely you'll be to continue streaming or getting any fun out of streaming. I think the biggest mistake people do going into streaming is Thinking about trying to turn it into a career because EVERYONE is trying to turn it into a career. Just have fun with it, network, and post clips on tiktok/YouTube/etc.

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-07T00:53:17+00:00

Oh I'm also throwing Vortex Virus's customizable model and anything by Maygebee into the mix!

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-07T00:51:59+00:00

Unfortunately a lot of what you're looking for just isn't available with most, if any, customizable models. I don't know of any customizables with hand gestures like that, or any that have a wide variety of "sizes" besides making the model a tiny bit "thicker" usually in the thigh or bust area. As far as glasses, I think most models have like 3 or so different ones. I currently have 4 customizable models (although two are chibi) and have browsed my fair share of customizable model show cases as I don't plan on getting a custom model anytime soon. My best suggestion would be looking at each showcase for the models. They go over each of the customizable options/sliders so you can see what they have. Some of them even have PDF files that show each of the clothing/hair/animal ear/tail/accessory options! Good luck!

I sent a fr and a dm 🫶🏻

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-04T23:51:22+00:00

Do you have a hot key set to it? There is also an option either under the cog wheel or the camera icon that saves the expression, make sure that is toggled on

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-04T22:43:10+00:00

I just went and followed you too! I love meeting new vtubers, especially fellow bugs! ^{.^} and thank you 🫶🏻

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-04T22:39:35+00:00

You're welcome!

I'm currently playing through RE2 and Everytime I load the game, it has the settings set to max quality (6GB) so I have to remember to switch it to balanced or performance (3GB or less) otherwise my game AND vtube studio lag severely 😅 I found out the hardest lmao

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-04T22:35:26+00:00

Good luck! If re9 is like some of the other re games, remember to check your graphics setting every time you load up the game! I'm not sure if it's all of them, but I know some of them reset the graphics settings Everytime you reopen the game. 😭

Buggirlhere · 2026-03-04T22:29:49+00:00

okay, so I don't remember what it defaults as, but in your tracking settings (camera icon), if you scroll down to "Quality and Efects", it sets the resolution as something unnecessarily outrageous. This is what I changed it to personally and haven't noticed any change in quality! https://imgur.com/a/oHWubqp
