Q&A about eligible videos

Q. Do I need to be an active VTuber to post a video?

A. You do not have to be an active VTuber to post a video. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Q. Do I need to include credits in the video description or in the video itself?

 A. When you post your video, make sure to note in the video description or in the video itself that you're entering the video in the Passpartout 2 × VRoid Hub partnership live-streaming campaign. There is no specific required format.

Q. Can I enter the campaign using an avatar that I didn't create myself?

A. If you want to use a model for which someone else holds the rights, please check the terms of use for that model before participating. In the event that an entrant uses an avatar in violation of its terms of use, the burden of responsibility falls solely on the entrant.

Q. If I only found out about this campaign after I finished my stream/posted my video, am I still eligible to enter?

A. If your video shows you playing Passpartout 2 using the VRoid Hub linkage feature, it doesn't matter when you streamed or posted the video. Edit the video description or video title when you send in the entry form, to make it clear that you'd like to enter your video in the campaign.

Q. Can I enter a video for which the Twitch archive has already expired?

A. If your video is not viewable at the time of the lottery, you may not be eligible for entry in the lottery. Please either re-upload your Twitch archive to YouTube, or send in a URL of a digest or clip(s) that demonstrates the content of the video. (The lottery results are scheduled to be released at the end of May).
