Stream as a character without a rig
Go live as an original character with zero modeling or tracking hardware. If that's your goal, start with the live VTuber maker tool.

Live Morph: Play Any Character, Live
Open your camera, pick a character, and watch yourself morph — your expressions, gaze, and head motion carry straight into the character, frame by frame, live.
What it does
Live Morph is LiveGen's flagship mode: a real-time character transformation that replaces what the camera sees with a character you choose, while everything that makes the performance yours — the timing of a smile, a raised eyebrow, where you're looking, how you tilt your head — carries through into the character as it happens.
Before: you, on camera, as you are. After: the character, on camera, doing exactly what you're doing — blinking when you blink, grinning when you grin, live.
This is a different thing from a costume filter or a static avatar. A sticker-style filter decorates your image; a VTuber rig demands a modeled, rigged puppet before you can start. Live Morph needs neither: one reference image of a character is enough, and the transformation runs on the live video itself. The result reads as a performance — a character being acted by you in real time — which is what makes it usable for streaming, videos, and calls rather than a one-shot novelty. (For the concept and terminology, see the canonical definition: what is live morph?)
How it works
Open your camera
In the browser, desktop or mobile. No download, no rig, no setup.
Pick or upload a character
Choose from preset characters or upload a reference image: an original character, a drawing, a commissioned design.
Perform, live
The morph applies in real time as you move and talk. Switch characters mid-session with one tap.
Behind the scenes, your camera streams frame by frame over WebRTC to LiveGen's real-time engine, which re-generates each frame as the target character while preserving your pose, expression, and timing, then returns it to a standard video element in your browser. There is no upload-and-wait step and no per-clip render queue — the loop is continuous, which is what makes a true real-time character transformation possible. The underlying technique is real-time video diffusion.
What you can do with it
Make videos without showing your face
Record talking videos fronted by a character instead of your own camera image. See faceless YouTube and the guide on making videos without showing your face.
Cosplay characters you can't costume
See yourself as a character before (or instead of) building the outfit. See virtual cosplay.
Take a character onto a call
Join a stream watch-party or casual meeting as a character. See video call avatar.
Shoot short-form as your character
Reaction clips and skits where the character emotes with your timing. Pairs naturally with TikTok video effects.
Try a quick identity flip first
If a full character is more than you need, the AI gender swap filter is the one-tap version of the same live re-rendering.
Meet a character "in person"
Morphing is half of fandom's dream; the other half is summoning a character into your room.
Tips for the best morph
Use a clean, front-facing character reference
A clear head-and-shoulders image of the character, evenly lit, gives the engine the most to work with. Busy action poses make weaker references.
Light your face evenly
The morph tracks your expressions; soft, even light on your face keeps that tracking crisp.
Perform a little bigger
Slightly exaggerated expressions read beautifully through a character — that's half the fun.
Frame head-and-shoulders for talking content
, wider if you want body movement in the shot.
Own the character
Use original characters, characters you have rights to, or presets. Real people's likenesses require their consent, uploads are moderated, and the content policy applies.
Real-time, not render-and-wait
Character videos used to mean one of two workflows: batch AI tools (upload a clip, wait minutes, download a result) or VTuber pipelines (model, rig, calibrate — then perform). Live Morph collapses both into one step: the character exists the moment your camera turns on, and it stays in sync with you for the whole session. No queue between takes, no rig before the first take. That immediacy is the point — it turns "making a character video" into simply being the character for a few minutes, the same live loop behind LiveGen's other modes like Outfit Swap and Style Morph.
Why LiveGen
Performance-grade tracking
Expressions, gaze, and motion carry into the character in real time — it's acting, not overlaying.
One image is a whole character
No 3D model, no rigging, no tracking hardware — a single reference image is enough.
Runs in your browser
Desktop or mobile, nothing to install.
Instantly shareable
Every session produces a clip you can share with one link.
Free to start
Free credits to try it; billing is 1 credit = 1 second of generation. Free exports carry a watermark; paid tiers remove it and add HD (verify current pricing).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Live Morph?
LiveGen's real-time character mode: your live camera is transformed into a character of your choice while your expressions, gaze, and motion carry through as they happen. The term itself is defined in our glossary entry.
Do I need a VTuber model or rig?
No. A single reference image of a character is enough — no 3D modeling, rigging, or tracking hardware.
Does it keep my expressions and timing?
Yes. That's the core of the mode: blinks, smiles, gaze direction, and head motion all track through to the character in real time.
Can I use it live on a stream or call?
Yes. The output renders into a standard browser video element, so you can capture the tab in OBS or your streaming software and go live as the character.
Can I use any character?
Use presets, original characters, or characters you have rights to. Real people's likenesses require consent, uploads are moderated, and the content policy applies.
Is Live Morph free?
It's free to start with credits included; 1 credit = 1 second of generation. Free exports are watermarked; paid tiers add HD and remove the watermark (verify current pricing).
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — it runs in mobile and desktop browsers, no app required.
How is this different from an avatar app?
Avatar apps animate a puppet next to (or instead of) your video. Live Morph transforms the video itself, so the character inherits your framing, lighting, and performance — it looks shot, not simulated.
