Virtual Avatar Tag for Vstreamers/Vtubers

The rise of the VR industry and the relatively new phenomenon of Virtual Streamers and Virtual Youtubers has made impact on sites like Twitch as well. There is a very large (800+ and growing) community of streamers on twitch who use a virtual avatar combined with face tracking software to use instead of webcams. VR is already a tag, but it would be nice to distinguish this category for those who use avatars and may play the role of a character. (like HoloLive, for example) It's not much different than having Anime as a tag, for example.

HeyGuys!

Super excited to share that we now have a “Vtuber” tag on Twitch!

In the past I had posted on how tags were aimed at the stream and not the streamer, but we have changed our thinking on this as of today and added more than 350 new tags, including this one.

Changes like this are possible because of feedback and threads like this so I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing feedback with us.

For more information, you can take a look at our blog post at https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/26/celebrate-yourself-and-your-community-with-350-new-tags/

    Twitch could definitely use more accurate tags. Also for plamo building!
  • SaruRoku commented  ·   ·  Report

    It's already something that takes up space in many people's titles just so they can make sure the audience knows that they use a virtual avatar, so making a tag frees up title space, and makes it easier for viewers to find them!

    Definely a big opportunity here, especially with vtuber growth recently as well as a higher average viewership for these channels

    Love to the VTubers @Silvervale, @Veibae, @Projektmelody, @ironmouseparty
  • machito_9575 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Pls add it as soon as possible, because this will be massive.

    You know, as a beginning vstreamer i was surprised to find that the tag didn't exist yet. It helps content creators to have the right tags to keep them away from related tags with different purposes.

    Yes, please! So many of us would be interested in it!
