'''Third Person View''' is a desktop feature, temporarily exclusive to [[VRC+|VRC+]] until the end of June 2026 (expected), that allows users to switch their perspective from their avatar's point of view to a zoomed-out view.

Above is inaccurate, it can still be accessed without VRC+ as of 11/06/2026 via the open-beta branch on steam, this may change.

== Controls ==
When enabled, users can adjust the distance from their avatar and switch between behind-the-back view and free rotation.
