veadotube mini
veadotube mini 1.2 is out! not a big update in terms of features, but dude check this out tube’s blinking look at them
i previously said i wasn’t gonna add blink frames, but that was unfair to people making GIF files just to get the blinking eye effect. so i added it! in a really simple fashion though. you cannot change the blink frequency, for example, otherwise i’d have to clutter the UI with lots of new buttons and mini doesn’t deserve that.
other than that, veadotube mini is out for the mac now!! it doesn’t support all hotkey features that the windows version supports, due to limitations with the mac platform, but it’s here now.
and now a list of improvements and bug fixes since the previous version:
- new hotkey support for xbox controllers (or any xinput device) and mouse buttons! windows only. some mouse buttons are ignored when mini is focused, so that it lets you configure your avatar without unexpectedly changing states.
- keyboard hotkey fixes on windows, now it doesn’t mix the arrow keys with the numpad. this fix breaks previously set keyboard hotkeys! be sure to reconfigure them with your older avatars.
- microphone fixes! mini’s a bit more determined to make microphones work now. some bugs are still on unity’s side, but mini is getting better at handling errors, in a way.
- GIF importer fixes, since it refused to read a few GIF files before for whatever reason. might still not be perfect though, do let me know if an image file of yours breaks!
that’s it for 1.2! there’s a few other improvements i’d like to add to mini over time, like localization and APNG support, but nothing too big. i think mini reached a good point where it’s simple yet complete enough :]
also: thanks for all the support!! it’s nice to see people enjoying mini, and people becoming vtubers in general because of this app. shows how unaccessible vtubing is, i suppose! i’m glad it’s changing though, and i’m glad to be a part of it.

veadotube mini 1.3 is out! it’s not big feature-wise as it is bugfix-wise whow this app was broken.
let’s start with the features:
- new bouncy animations! now your character can jump around casually, or nervously.
- delay sensitivity slider! the right, purple one. it lets you set for how long the mouth should continue open after you stop speaking. this should make your avatar flash less from one image to another.
- hotkey modes! you can make a hotkey not only enter a state, but also leave it when you’re done pressing it.
with that aside, we got windows 32-bit support now :] it should work like the 64-bit version, do let me know if it breaks because i don’t have a 32-bit machine and i simply can’t test it too far hlgksjdfg
also! linux support! this one is highly experimental, expect things to break such as microphone lists and mouse & keyboard hotkeys (those only work if you’re root)
and now The Fixes
- mac builds now work, somewhat! they’re still «damaged» on big sur because apple stinks. also if you were having issues with the new apple silicon machines i Think this one fixes it. and if you’re running on older macs this one should work better too :]
- mouse & keyboard hotkeys were entirely rewritten! and now they work with mac too, even when the app is out of focus. because of all that you’ll have to rebind all your mouse & keyboard hotkeys, sorry about that. for developers out there, this one is open source :]
- animated png support! they’re a lot better in quality than gifs so i think a lot of ppl will enjoy this one. if you’re looking into making animated png files, i recommend ezgif :] and for the devs, this one is also open source!
- hi-res images shouldn’t look crispy now! they’ll look blurry instead. had to pick one of the two, sorry folks. (jk it’s not too blurry) (just a little bit)
and that’s that on that :] it’s a smaller update for ppl who was already using 1.2 though.
as for the full version,
it’s coming along :] (avatar by bella!)
i recently lost my full-time job and i’m taking this moment to continue working on veadotube and my other game projects that i haven’t talked about too much yet. so if you enjoy my work please consider donating! and if you’re curious about the full version, i’ll be updating about it more often on twitter (and even more often on my personal twitter) (and maybe even streaming it).
thanks for the support!! seeing everyone using mini warms my heart and i hope i can continue helping y’all with your vtuber shenanigans.

A downloadable tube for Windows, macOS, and Linux
veadotube mini is a lightweight, easy-to-use vtuber app. if all you need is a simple program that lets you switch between two images as you talk, then this program is for you!
if you have any issues, check out the troubleshooting page.
please read everything before asking questions! thank u
also i’m aware of the file opening bug on mac.
it’s taking me a while to figure it out. please be patient!
- setup your microphone easily. simply select the desired microphone and slide its sensibility up and down until it works for you.
- add motion to your avatar. let your character jump and/or shake when they talk!
- switch between avatar states. you can add diferent expressions for your character, and alternate bewteen them using hotkeys. you can use your xbox conttoller or a MIDI device to switch between states, too!
- GIFs and animated PNGs are supported! along with the usual PNGs, JPEGs and BMPs.
this is part of veadotube, a soon-to-be app suite meant to make it easier to create 2D virtual avatars :] (you can support its development on patreon now!)
the mascot above is Tube the deer (they/them), designed by bella!. all avatar examples included in the app were made by them, except for the pop cat one, which comes from oatmealpopcat’s instagram, and the fish, which comes from spongebob.
FAQ
Q: how do i make an avatar?
grab two images of your character, one with the mouth closed, the other one with the mouth open. add these images to veadotube using the first two Image buttons 
on the top.
optionally, you can grab two other images, mouth closed and open too but with the eyes closed this time, and add with these last two Image buttons 
.
you can also add motion to them with the Motion buttons 
, where they respectively set the motion for the closed image, the open image, and the transition between the two.
to create new states for your avatar (to use as expressions, etc) you can click the Add button 
in the right, and the Remove button 
to delete the selected state. you can click each state’s thumbnail to select them, by default the first state is selected. the Image buttons described above change the images for the selected state only!
to configure a hotkey for the current state, click the Hotkey button 
and press a key to set it, and now whenever you press that key again, veadotube switches to that state, even when you’re in another window!
supported devices for the hotkeys are shown in the app, and they vary depending on the platform, but in general veadotube supports your mouse & keyboard (root-only on linux), xbox controllers (or any other xinput device; windows only), and MIDI keyboards. note that mouse hotkeys only work when the app is unfocused.
you can use hotkeys in two different ways: 
enter a state on key press, or 
enter a state on key press and then go back to the previous state on key release. simply click these buttons to toggle between the two modes.
Q: how do i configure my microphone with veadotube mini?
click the Microphone icon 
for the list of available microphones, and select the one you desire. (if you have issues with it, check out the link for the troubleshooting page above.
there are two sensitivity sliders, the green one (left) and the purple one (right). use the green one to set how high the volume must be for the avatar to open its mouth, and the purple one to set for how long the mouth should stay open after you stop speaking.
Q: how do i configure veadotube mini with streaming programs?
it depends! i use OBS myself so that’s what i know how to use. in general, you should add the veadotube window as you would with any game, and enable transparency if you can. if transparency doesn’t work, you can use a chroma key filter with the selected background color.
with OBS on windows, add a new source, select Game Capture, change the Mode to Capture specific window, and select veadotube mini.exe. for better results, uncheck Capture Cursor and check Allow Transparency. to get transparecy to work, change the background in veadotube to transparent (the grey one).
Q: can i use it in my streams, given that i’m making money out of them? do i have to pay you anything for that?
you don’t have to pay anything to use veadotube mini in any sorta way, even if you’re monetising your channel. donations are welcome though, now that making small games & tools is my current full-time job :]
all that applies as long as you’re not a shitty ass person. if you’re racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, a pedo (that includes b*byfur yes), proship, etc then fuck off don’t use veadotube mini, thank you.
Q: what’s exactly gonna be the full version, after all?
the veadotube website tells you a little about it, and you can support its development on patreon :]

Veado recognizes my usb mic, but wont pick up on any audio? The mic works fine for other apps, so its def a problem with veado
I went to the setting menu (i use windows 10) to see if maybe permissions were off, but veado doesn’t show up on the apps lists in any settings tabs ;w;
I seem to be having an issue with my gifs. They keep flashing black, yellow, and green for one frame. I can’t seem to fix this. 
hmm could you send me the gif file itself so i can test it?
you should make a online version, so others could check it out before you download :3
Hello!
I just recently downloaded this wonderful software and I was curious about something.
There is a thin grey outline on my png when using the transparency mode. Is there anyway to remove that?
it’s a weird texture bug related to unity! i’ve been slowly working on a fix but i can’t guarantee anything yet.
Usually that’s a mipmapping issue with how it is importing the textures. Happens a lot in Unity but just needs some settings played with (you probably already know that but just commenting anyway in case)
I had a problem with my pc not allowing veadotube to use my microphone, but after fiddling with a bunch of options I seemed to have fixed it by enabling another device that was detected as a microphone, and then disabling it. I’m not the best at explaining things, but I tried 🙂
I’m trying to set up in LightStream Studio. While I can get veadotube in there using a browser share, it doesn’t support green screen and the gray background isn’t appearing as transparent. Any suggestions? 
i’ve never used lightstream, but it should have the option to enable transparency; if neither that nor chroma key work then there isn’t much to do :[
I got with their chat support and figured a work around. It’s kind of silly since the whole point of LightStream is you use it instead of OBS to stream from a Playstation or Xbox and they add your overlays. The workaround requires that I set up my background and PNGTuber in OBS and use a virtual OBS camera as a source in Lightstream. Then I add the Stream Elements overlays in Lightstream. It’s a klunky workaround. It also seems to create a minor delay from veadotube. I’ll keep on them to add Alpha Channel Support for browser windows. They don’t support green screen for cams either yet, so those people have to do the OBS virtual camera too. Seems like they should make that a priority.
Every time I download it it deletes itself or says it couldn’t download. Does anyone know why?
