I started streaming in 2017 but went full time as a freelancer in 2018, and I specialize in virtual and mixed reality gaming. I enjoy showing off various VR games through my live-streams here on this channel, and I offer tutorials to other aspiring content creators on how they can setup VR for broadcasting and recording.
I also do product management for avatars over at LIV!

The in app AI chroma keying has since been removed from the app due to the cost per use case (it was provided by a third party). But alternatively you can use something like Nvidia Broadcast.

Why do I still see it in the app then??
Thanks for this video! I’m just finally setting this all up myself and couldn’t figure out exactly what calibrate wanted me to do with the controllers, seeing it in video format immediately solved it for me. This video also reminded me that OVR advanced settings exists, and I remember that being an essential tool last time I used VR :)
Wow this is super helpful! I learned a few new things!! I will be sharing this with everyone that asks me about LIV! Thank you!
Very helpful video, thanks for helping me get setup!
Wow! thank you very much ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I can’t wait to play around with liv
Yay! Have fun!
thanks for the help on this
YOU’RE A LEGEND
Thank you!
Thank you very much. The big thing I kept forgetting was to make sure OBS was closed before I started playing around with it. x.x
thank you
Narration too 😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️
As a recommendation on a Webcam I can say the NexiGo N980P is also a great start at 1080p 60fps webcam with a 120 degree field of view :) been using one myself for a couple of months now it is amazing
Oh nice! If I already didn't have so many cameras I'd give that one a shot too, I'm starting to accumulate a lot of extras I don't have a use for. (Camera nerd) 😅 That wide angle is super important for us tiny/messy room people!
@@AtomBombBody oh yess :) haha the wide angle really makes a difference and The quality on the N980P is actually in my opinion better than any of the competitors in the same price range :D
I am in LOVE with your green room! I've got about the same thing going on; but I need some tips for chroma keyeing! I have like 8 different filters set to catch all the different tones of green. Is that like... okay?? it looks insane.
Woah jeez! That's a lot haha! I'd probably just use the eyedropper that's built into LIV (once you pop out the color picker, theres an eye dropper top left on that window that you can grab and drop somewhere). Drop it over the most common shade of green you have, or experiment with other spots that seem to help it key out the best. It'll be a lot of fine tuning with the threshold/smoothness. You should get a decent key, unless your shades are all over the place. Otherwise it's probably a lighting issue! Brighter, even distributed light is always the key!
On my walls I bought a 24 pack of neon green posterboard and use command strips to tack it to the wall. I have stucko walls, horribly textured. And I'm renting/ :( so paint was a no. But I cover my ceiling and walls, and then hung green curtains over the windows that I black out with black foam board. For the carpet; I got thick plywood and covered it with greenscreen fabric and stapled it on and it just floats over my carpet. Its such a sturdy place to stand; I've even made it into my home gym. Heavily considering covering the workout gear with frog tape and being a weeirdo somehow xD
I'm super interested in joining your discord, but couldn't find a working link.
Hey you gotta do what you gotta do! I've seen some let's say "creative" setups over the years, but when you think about it as long asi t works, no one can really tell how janky it might look IRL. :P discord.io/AtomBombBody should work! It just takes a sec to re-direct to Discord. If not let me know and I can give you another link!
at 9:20 , you suddenly faced backwards. I am trying to set this up in Beat Saber. Whenever I launch beat saber, it faces infront of me and I cannot reset my view.
I want the camera to be at my back so the POV would be me hitting the incoming blocks. But i dont know how.
Do you know how to fix this? Thank you in advance!
Download OVR advanced settings on Steam! Face the way that you want to be your front and then use its playspace mover to rotate your playspace :)
Hello for Quest 2 is it pretty much the same procedure but use Virtual Desk Top streamer to set up Quest 2 first? Thanks~
Yep! Just make sure you are running steam games with it - virtual desktop is great for this!
@@AtomBombBody thank you so much!
I have a question. I've tried Liv and it did work just as I expected and I love it. I use the automatic background removal. When you first align your controllers with the red plus sign right infront of the camera. I can never get myself in it. The other two red plus signs work and have me in the picture but the first one doesn't??? Why is this?
What do you mean by you cant get yourself in it? It *should* automatically turn off the chroma key so you can see your room in the preview but if its not behaving this way i recommend just turning off the chroma key toggle before calibration. Then for the first x just make sure your controller touches the lens of your camera before clicking the trigger.
@@AtomBombBody oooo!! Ok I'll try that next time I start it up!! I didn't even think of that🤣🤣🤣 thank you very much!!!
@@hypercube3377 If you launch a game before calibrating sometimes UI in the game may also block you, so I usually calibrate in the SteamVR home area before launching a game!
How can you set up the LIV camera on iOS with usb without iTunes?
i have a question. Did you use 2 different cameras to record this video or just one? because lets say on calibration 5:39 moment u have a camera what is looking at the wall, then later about 7:09 your camera is looking at the corner. So whats the real position on camera when you do a calibration etc? It looks like its in 2 different places so it makes me confused and as evryone knows when you mobe camera, your whole calibration will be broken. :(
I move my camera around a lot depending on the shot I want to get, I'll also change to a wide angle lens if I need to get full body in. Technically if you add something like a Vive tracker to the top of your camera you can move it around without having to calibrate, but that's if your headset is on. If you turn everything off and move your camera then yes you will have to re calibrate. I have a mirrorless camera I use for more of my higher end shots but for tutorials I have a wide angle webcam that just sits on the top of my monitor and dosen't move.
@@AtomBombBody i use oculus 2 and having a lot of problems with calibration, smal move of camera makes controllers in game uncalibrated again. Thats why i was so suprised how you doing it. I thought many times that it can be a problem of my camera what looks exactly in the corner, what doesnt makes a full calibrate of square room, but tbh i have with LIV problems over year after some updates is too many problems;/ thank you anyway:)
@@lajlavalentine The Quest unfortunately is a bit sensitive, things like letting the headset fall asleep or changing your playspace can alter calibration so you gotta do your best to make sure that it stays on the whole time.
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you know why I get an error while trying to install the Steam VR Driver, I've looked through countless of troubleshooting articles on the website but nothing shows up.
What does the error say specifically?
It just says "Uh oh, something went wrong." and the description reads; "Sorry about this, but it seems we couldn't install the SteamVR Driver. Try running the LIV app as administrator, and make sure that SteamVR is fully closed." And i've tried launching it in it's file location as administrator, but nothing's worked.
@@chucklebucket9807 This can happen when SteamVR is going into safemode, try clicking on the three lines on the SteamVR popup > Settings >Startup/Shutdown > Manage Addons and see what you have installed. The LIV virtual camera may have to be manually toggled to "on".
Hi from france ! I try to callibrate liv to the quest 2 but when I clic on the button absolute nothing appears on mi quest 2 ! Can you help me ?
Probably a SteamVR driver issue, run through this help article here: help.liv.tv/hc/en-us/articles/360016690940-LIV-s-Virtual-Camera-is-attached-to-your-controller-Your-controller-is-stuck-on-the-floor-You-cannot-calibrate-due-to-our-SteamVR-driver-not-starting
@@AtomBombBody I can't see all the parametre, I have only laucng/stop settings
Thanks! Working on a VR Game and adding support for LIV Mixed reality. I do Minecraft Mixed Reality videos if you ever wanna collab! :)
Oh that's awesome! Ooh, always wanted to try Minecraft in VR but haven't taken the time yet!
@@AtomBombBody would you be interested in playing it together as a collaboration video? :)
@@NaviYT In the future! Between LIV and a backlog of content I'm quite behind 😅
@@AtomBombBody totally understandable lol. I've got a few projects I'm working on too. In the future then! :D
Is there a native quest version for LIV
Yes but you will still need a PC/laptop of some sort to capture/record, it doesn't have to be a high end one though since you won't actually be playing the game on it: ruclips.net/video/cSAnAYCQbl8/видео.html
I don't have the AI Keying, just the Chroma Key. Any help on how I can get the AI Key option?
The in app AI chroma keying has since been removed from the app due to the cost per use case (it was provided by a third party). But alternatively you can use something like Nvidia Broadcast. Thanks for the reminder though, I'll go ahead and make a pin about it.
@@AtomBombBody Wow! Thanks for the reply back! I have been on a marathon watching your videos. My fiancé and I really want to start streaming and recording VR content. Your videos have been a great help! I guess I will figure out this avatar business!
@@raycasias Anytime! There's a couple more options listed here in case any of those are applicable: help.liv.tv/hc/en-us/articles/360016819719-Can-I-use-LIV-without-a-green-screen-
What about games that aren’t supported? Can you manually set it up?
Unfortunately no :(
@@AtomBombBody Dang
How do you move the camera in game it's always pointing the wrong way
Use the free app OVR Advanced Settings: store.steampowered.com/app/1009850/OVR_Advanced_Settings/ There's an off set option to change the rotation of your playspace so you can stay in one place and just rotate the game around you where you need it to be.
@@AtomBombBody is there any way that you could do a tutorial on that portion?
@@cheesepilot Around here: ruclips.net/video/zig0RsgM4c4/видео.htmlsi=EF_1TyeJQ96ymSL9&t=130
Can we have a link to the Quest version ?
You access it from the same Steam app. However, it is having some issues lately.
@@AtomBombBody but it doesn't work with the occulus link ?
@@justinchevarie It connects to a Quest app. Here's the link for that, if that's what you meant: www.meta.com/experiences/5044739418933074/ Not working ATM though
Is it still not?
@@melankaya nope , still nothing , I spoke with some guys that work for liv and they tol me that they don’t know
My avatar’s mouth is wide open and won't close. Do you know what might be the problem?
is green screen a must? Or can it be solved in another way?
If you have an NVIDIA graphics card you can also use NVIDIA Broadcast. You can try a Kinect or the old LIV iOS camera app but NVIDIA broadcast would be your best bet. ruclips.net/video/SPXh6zB8lTg/видео.html (Note: Segmentive is not in the app anymore)
@@AtomBombBody i tried but can't use the camera in both nvidia broadcast and liv at the same time.. in which program could i solve it? I didn't quite understand, so I'm grateful for help!..
@@Dallas-eu5nz Use your camera as the output for Nvidia Broadcast, as the 'camera' in LIV select NVIDIA Broadcast
Oh and make sure you also select ARGB mode in LIV!
My woes with trying to do mixed reality with LIV without a green screen keep piling up. I just bought an Nvidia RTX 4070 today and attempted to use my Logitech BRIO webcam as my camera source. After about a minute Nvidia broadcast always freezes my camera image every single time I relaunch the Broadcast app. Mixed reality VR is so frustrating.
Desearía que este video
Fuera en español 🥲
¡hola! En el futuro, tal vez pueda tener subtítulos en español, pero mientras tanto, guardo todos los guiones de mis videos para poder ejecutarlos a través de un traductor para ti: docs.google.com/document/d/1OTthG7CUwcLfLYqDPR3m2BEaUFASeevCuf6LUTV2PAA/edit?usp=sharing
@@AtomBombBody muchas gracias
@@AtomBombBody logre conectarlo . solo que no se como girar la imagen podrias enseñarme como acomodar la imagen correctamente.
@@hgpiloto6094 Así que primero me coloco frente a la cámara de la forma en que quiero aparecer. Así que di que quiero que mi espalda esté frente a la cámara. Luego uso la configuración avanzada del programa OVR (store.steampowered.com/app/1009850/OVR_Advanced_Settings/) para cambiar la rotación del juego a mi alrededor. ¡Espero que tenga sentido/responda a tu pregunta!
So when i try to calibrate it says warning and i cant calibrate anything
What headset are you using?
@@AtomBombBody i have a quest 2 plug in the pc to play steam beat saber since i dont have it on my headset
@@Batishika Sometimes the cameras on the Quest can't "see" the controllers very well if past a certain distance, so when you click the trigger try to angle the headset so its a little more like you're looking at the controller
The thing is that the pc screen gets gray and the ❌ for the calibration is like under the gray screen and can't do anything i try to get to your Discord so is easy to show but can't find it
@@Batishika Are you using the mixed reality capture tool under the PCVR section on the LIV app or under Quest? Since you're playing a game on Steam make sure you are using the PCVR mixed reality option. I think I've seen this come up before though so let me pass this onto support and see what answers I can find for you!
you recorded almost the same video 4 months ago top kek
Which one are you referring to? There are multiple ways of recording mixed reality (software wise) which can get confusing for a lot of people. You can either do it via Steam/PCVR (this video) or via Quest native. Lighting and greenscreen wise, that stuff is the same, but software wise it's a completely different method. Unless you meant this video, which was the original from over two years ago :P ruclips.net/video/lqLp_PEXnJI/видео.html
@@AtomBombBody okay then
много света и oculus 2 не совместимые вещи
i tried LIV but the cam adjust setting is horrible, if doesn't exist nothing better, i prefer to record and stream in "vtuber mode" instead deal with this annoying camera adjust settings
What camera settings are you having a hard time with?
with the LIV ones, i cannot adjust well the mixed reality camera inside Beat Saber, because these liv options for camera adjust, are so annoying to put in correct position, and seems that don't let me grab the camera with my controller to adjust it with totally freedom, (like the camera2) that is what im using right now because, camera 2 is so simple and let me grab te camera, and place where i want, i tried with liv beta too, but same problem as non-beta version 😔
@@Starsitaa Ah so you are looking more for vtubing solutions? Because the virtual cameras (the ability to move the camera inside the game) are for the avatar cameras, not more mixed reality. Mixed reality relies on your physical camera so if you wanted to move that to a different position, you'd need to actually move your physical camera.
