Camera shy?Go live anyway.
ShyFi lets you stream without showing your face. Your webcam drives a VTuber avatar, or your face gets blurred, before anything leaves your PC.
Free for Windows 10 and 11. Streams to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and TikTok.
What viewers see
Viewers see the avatar and nothing else. It moves, blinks and talks when you do.
Your stream. Your level of privacy.
Three ways to appear, from hiding only your face to hiding all of you. Switch between them whenever you like.
Face hidden
Just take your face out.
- Viewers see
- You, your room and your hands. Your face is blurred, pixelated or blocked.
- Good for
- Tutorials, talk streams, video calls
Avatar head
Keep your style. Protect your face.
- Viewers see
- Your real body, outfit and room, with an avatar's head tracking your expressions.
- Good for
- Music, art, crafts, unboxing, fashion
Full avatar
Be a character.
- Viewers see
- A VTuber avatar and the background you choose. None of your camera picture.
- Good for
- Gaming, roleplay, building a persona
Real camera Hidden or replaced
Face tracking, avatars and live streaming in one Windows app.
No OBS plugins to line up, no separate tracking app, no virtual camera to route. The privacy tools are part of the studio, so there is nothing in between to come unplugged.
Hide
Decide how much of you gets through.
- Be a VTuber with just a webcam
- A full avatar on screen that follows your head, eyes, mouth, arms and fingers. No phone or tracking suit needed.
- Avatar head on your camera
- Keep your room and your hands in shot. Only your head is swapped.
- Blur or pixelate your face
- Live face blur, pixelation, a solid block or a bar over your eyes, on your real camera picture.
- Blur your background
- Soften everything behind you so nobody reads your shelves.
- Blurs if it loses you
- If tracking drops, the whole picture blurs within a quarter of a second until it finds your face again.
Perform
Still be expressive without being seen.
- More than 1,200 free VRM avatars
- Browse and download them inside the app, or load your own .vrm model.
- Reactions on a key
- Set hotkeys for expressions and gestures so you can fire them mid-game.
- Chat can join in
- Let viewers trigger actions from chat on the platforms you connect.
- Face tracking that copes with a beard
- It learns your resting face, so facial hair doesn't read as a pout.
- Calibrate with one button
- Hold a neutral face for a few seconds and the avatar's expressions are matched to yours.
Broadcast
Go live from the same window.
- Stream to Twitch, YouTube, Kick and TikTok
- Or any service that gives you an RTMP address.
- Multistream
- Send one stream to more than one platform at the same time.
- Record to your drive

- Scenes, screen capture and chat on screen

- Sending the stream you started
- Reading chat on platforms you connect
- Downloading avatars you pick

Faceless streaming questions.
How do I stream without showing my face?
Install ShyFi, pick your webcam, then choose a full avatar, an avatar head or a face cover. Add your stream key for Twitch, YouTube, Kick or TikTok and go live. If ShyFi loses track of your face, the whole picture blurs until it finds you again.
Can I be a VTuber with just a webcam?
Yes. ShyFi tracks your face, upper body and hands from an ordinary webcam. You don't need a phone, a tracking suit or a separate tracking app.
Is my camera picture uploaded anywhere?
No. Face, body and hand tracking run on your PC, and the raw camera picture stays there. What leaves your computer is the finished stream you chose to send, with the avatar or cover already applied.
Do I need OBS to stream with an avatar?
No. ShyFi streams and records by itself, with tracking and avatars built in, so there are no plugins or extra apps to set up. If you already have an OBS setup you like, add ShyFi Camera to it as a webcam source and keep everything else as it is.
Can I use my own VRM avatar?
Yes. Load any .vrm file. ShyFi reads both VRM 0 and VRM 1 models, including their expressions and hair physics.
Is ShyFi free?
Yes, the app is free. A paid Pro upgrade is planned as a one-time purchase, and the free version will keep working.
Is there a Mac or Linux version?
Not yet. ShyFi runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11.
