To the new broadcasters who have newly chosen kukuluLIVE,
We have confirmed that users have given explanations that are different from the facts, such as the ones below.

"This is a privately run place, so you have to greet the administrator before broadcasting."
"Drawing distribution will be suspended if you do not draw the administrator's picture first."
``I can't stream this game unless I say hello to streamer 〇〇.''

Although kukuluLIVE is operated by an individual, it is the same as a general service provided by a company.
Anyone can use it as long as they agree to the terms of use.
There are no rules that are obligatory to fulfill even though they are not specified in the terms and conditions.

Even if a comment is written as a joke, the new streamer has no way of confirming that it is a joke.
In fact, there are many cases where the administrator is contacted or the broadcast itself is stopped.

New distributors miraculously choose kukuluLIVE from among the countless distribution sites.
This was possible with the cooperation and understanding of many people.

Harassment of new streamers by giving false explanations (false comments) will be dealt with severely.

For users other than those listed above, please continue to provide warm support to new distributors.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

[For viewers]

Distributions with the NSFW attribute setting turned on are not displayed in the distribution list by default.
To display it in the list, you need to switch ``Distribution that may contain inappropriate expressions'' from ``Settings'' on the top page to ``Display''.



[For distributors]

When distributing content that includes NSFW attributes (as long as it does not violate the guidelines),
You must turn on "Notify viewers before watching that inappropriate content will be broadcast."


This feature is intended to be considerate to viewers who do not like broadcasts that include NSFW attributes.
It does not make the rules any less applicable.
The penalty will be applied regardless of whether this setting is on or off.
Additionally, the NSFW attribute may be automatically turned on based on judgment by the administrator or machine learning.

It is possible to display the video of FaceRig / Animaze / VTubeStudio of a guest in a remote place in the distribution video in real time.
"kukuluLIVE FaceRig over Network" has been released.

This feature has the following advantages compared to using video calls such as Discord.

・It can be directly integrated into OBS, so there is no need to configure it every time. ・The avatar's movement can be reflected in real time with almost no lag. ・The video size and display magnification can be fixed, making it easy to use chromakey. ・The video device is fixed to FaceRig Virtual Device and can be changed.・Since it can be separated from the voice, only the avatar remains even after the call is ended. ・You can receive the avatars of multiple guests at the same time.

In addition to inviting guests, operate the webcam and FaceRig on a computer separate from the one for distribution,
By sending it to the computer for distribution (OBS) via kukuluLIVE FaceRig over Network,
You can also use it to prevent face detection (for example, if you have captured the entire desktop).

- Added guest participation function
When participating as a guest in someone else's broadcast on Skype or Discord, if you listen to the broadcast audio, the other person's voice will overlap,
If you mute the broadcast, you will not be able to hear the reading, so by using Coffret's "guest participation function",
Allows reading of comments locally.

Previously, the same function could be used if the broadcast distributor set it as a "co-distributor",
The "guest participation function" does not require any settings, and anyone can use it, making it easier for single guests to use it.

1. After launching Coffret, press the "Guest Participation" button.


2. Enter the viewing URL of the stream you want to participate in as a guest and press the "OK" button to start Coffret as if it were your own stream.

With this version update, antiviruses and SmartScreen may prevent Coffret from starting (until the new binaries are on safelists in various places).
In that case, please make exclusion settings so that "Coffret.exe" can be executed properly.
