TDSBLive user guide

TDSBLive brings chat, stream overlays and alerts together on your own computer. Streamer.bot connects your streaming accounts and runs your actions. Speaker.bot handles speech. OBS displays your stream.

The MVP release and this guide are being prepared under Goal G10. The Windows installer is a release candidate until its qualification checks pass. This page does not announce a finished release.

Start here

If you already have TDSBLive running, open the editor at http://127.0.0.1:17474/editor. Keep TDSBLive running while you use its overlays in OBS.

• Install and update: choose an installer or ZIP, update safely and uninstall.
• Chat and OBS: show chat on your stream and add a reading dock.
• Backup and recovery: protect saved data and restore a checked copy.

The guide will walk through installation, first setup, everyday use, connections, overlays, alerts, supporter totals, automation, backup, updates and recovery. Illustrations use made-up examples so they do not expose your account details.

Local web pages use HTTP. You do not need an HTTPS certificate. Access from another computer is optional and requires authenticated LAN setup.

What is being qualified

The available live test environment is Wine/Proton. GitHub Actions separately tests native Windows builds and packages. These are different kinds of checks: a successful Windows build does not prove OBS playback, and a Wine/Proton test does not prove performance on a native Windows streaming PC.

Native Windows streaming-PC performance testing is explicitly deferred by the operator. The guide and release evidence will keep that limitation visible. VTube Studio work is also on hold; use Streamer.bot's built-in integration.

Project and developer information

• Project repository
• Implementation goals and current evidence
• G10 release work
• Developer architecture

You do not need the developer documents for ordinary use. They describe how the application is built and how its integrations are tested.
