[@nishadshirodkar6091]

the paid version for this one might just be in budget , thank you , the fuzzy free thing can alternatively be deliberately used for horror streams XD . also i donno y i have an urge to say this but i realized a car drives by in the window grt attention to detail . people don't usually put in that effort in background.

[@Syafire]

hahahaha thank you! I made my BGT with the Sims. Also yesss horror streamers xD Thanks for watching Nishad

[@GothicZeek]

um, the 100 yen isn't the paid version, that's just a boost. The full version is 2,500 yen. I just looked.

[@Daminoa]

2,500 jpy is like 20 USD, pretty good

I've got a problem. My vsee face is not tracking me, even when i've connected my mic and moved the sensetivity out a bit, and also i've connected my camera as well, but it just does not seem to be working i've worked wth t=his software myself, and it seemed to work just fine until now. what should i do?

[@DesertHawk-i8t]

How do we adjust the position of the model when using vmagicmirror on a laptop

[@Dai_40]

is it possible to keep one hand on keyboard and the other on the mouse all time i am left handed and use arrow kyes most of the time so the right hand gets into the key all the time thanks and love your content

[@just_journeyyt]

I can't import my model because when I'm in the app it's just blank Green screen with this blue thing?

[@1pixelprincess618]

I know a youtube channel comment isn't always the best place to go for help, but I've dug around online for other resources and there doesn't seem to be anything on point for my question, so here goes! When I boot up VMM 1.8.2_Standard's VMagicMirror, I get the empty green screen but the control panel doesn't spawn. I've tried running the application as Administrator, deleting the folder and unzipping again, unzipping the folder to a file location not my desktop, and even a fresh download of the zip file from Booth, but nothing makes the Control Panel spawn on start-up and I haven't been able to click anywhere in the blank green window or hit any potential hotkey to open it up. The VMM FAQ does list this as an issue of unknown origin, but only with version 0.9.3 (where it says to go back to 0.9.2 if this is happening to you). Do you (or anyone, I guess, but you seem to be the expert) know either how to fix this or where I can report that this bug is happening in the 1.8.2? Thanks so much for your time!

[@Syafire]

Hello Pixel. Thanks for sharing your story with me. I wish I knew why this was happening. Have you considered trying another VTuber Program? There are lots out there.

[@1pixelprincess618]

@@Syafire Yeah, I've got VSeeFace and 3tene I've been playing around with, but I'd been very interested in the hands options VMM offered - both the potential for hand tracking wtihout a Leap Motion and just the free following mouse and keyboard option for when streaming video games. Maybe they'll update the bug out again in a few weeks. Appreciate you answering so fast!

[@Dekaccho]

I'm barely just trying out this software, but for some reason, my model keeps bobbling their head. Is there something in my (hidden?) camera settings that I have to adjust or something?

[@lyssarayne6855]

Hey Syafire, first off, thank you so much for your videos, you're a godsend!! I upped the image quality to ultra (just got a brand new Alienware m15 Ryzen edition R5, so it can totally handle it!) but my avi is crazy jittery now. Even on medium it's still somewhat jittery, it only disappears on low. Any thoughts as to what settings I need to fix to get rid of the jitters??

[@Syafire]

Hey Lyssa! Thank you so much. Have you tried any other VTuber programs to see if its just VMagicMirror*? I would recommended trying that to see if you can tunnel down on what the problem might be.

[@technotoister]

can u do a tut for twitch studio? it's what i use but there seems to be 0 tuts on how to set these kinds of things up with it.. i hate using OBS

[@Syafire]

I’ve never used it before but I will keep it in mind. Thanks for the idea TechnoToister 😀

[@Snake75055]

A little late but I thought I'd throw this out there just in case it helps someone don't do what I did even though I have good lighting I never checked to see what the camera itself was getting i was in just the right spot where the camera got almost no light and threw everything off if your having problems with tracking check to see what the cameras getting I nearly bought something that was way more expensive then what I needed when I just needed to get a small led bar it just slipped my mind to check this somehow >.

question, when I check high power mode her head starts moving too erratic and there is no sensitivity to adjust the movement or am I missing something?

Hello, good afternoon, could someone out there help me?. It's just that I bought an external webcam for my laptop with the desire to use hand tracking but it wasn't capturing my hands, so I thought that maybe this webcam wouldn't work that, until I decided to try a little more and found out that it does, but I have to be with my hands far away, About 15 to 20 centimeters, I think. Would anyone be able to tell me if there is a way to solve this?, by a software, or a configuration?

I need help pretty please!! I'm using the full version atm so I'm guessing I should switch to the 'standard' version since that seems to have more options and whatnot, but also when I try to do hand tracking it *kinda* works but not really?? like there will be huge delays n stuff like that when I go to have it track my hands and also I think it's trying to track my headphones I wear while working my vtuber model cause I tried taking my headset off to test it and it stopped being weird so I'm wondering if there's just a setting I didn't click or something or is my webcam just kinda trash or I'm not sure?? That or maybe my lighting just isn't strong enough; not really sure what's going wrong?? Edit: I should also mention that the normal 'track face' function works totally fine with no delays or anything on this camera too so that makes it EXTRA confusing as to why the hand tracking either doesn't work or is slow
