Both ways, through the plugin API.
TipLink connects to VTube Studio's built-in plugin API. Your model becomes something alerts can drive, and things that happen to your model become events you can build alerts on. The integration is in beta.
- Nine actions
- Trigger hotkeys, set expressions, drop, move, control and remove items, set parameters, switch model and run a physics burst.
- Model events as triggers
- Model loaded, hotkey triggered, expressions turning on or off, animations, items added or removed, model clicked and background changed.
- Allow once
- VTube Studio asks permission the first time. Click Allow, and it remembers TipLink afterwards.
- Port found for you
- TipLink finds VTube Studio's port automatically and tells you what's missing if it can't connect.
- No loops
- Triggers ignore hotkeys TipLink fired itself by default, so an alert cannot set itself off.
Ideas to try with VTube Studio.
Tip drops a prop

A new subscriber switches your model for a moment.

Good to know.
Does TipLink work with VTube Studio?
Yes. TipLink works both ways with VTube Studio over its plugin API, so alerts can drive your model and model events can start alerts. It is in beta.
What do I need to switch on?
In VTube Studio, turn on Start API (allow plugins) in General Settings. The default port is 8001, and TipLink finds it automatically.
What is the permission prompt?
VTube Studio asks whether to allow TipLink the first time. Click Allow in its own window, which can sit behind OBS. It remembers TipLink after that.
What can an alert do to my model?
Trigger hotkeys, set expressions, drop and move items, set parameters, switch models and run a physics burst.
Do I need to write code?
No. You build alerts in the app by choosing an event and the actions that follow.
Can I try it first?
Yes. There is a 7-day free trial.
