'''Manage VRChat''' encompasses the tasks involved in organizing and controlling a user's VRChat experience, including [[Avatars|avatars]], [[Worlds|worlds]], [[Groups|groups]], [[Social|social connections]], [[Inventory|inventory]], and [[VRChat Account|account settings]]. These tasks can be performed through VRChat's in-game menus, the [https://vrchat.com/home VRChat website], or third-party applications that interact with VRChat through the [[VRChat API]].

==Account==
''Main articles: [[VRChat Account]], [[Account Linking]], [[VRC+]]''

A [[VRChat Account|VRChat account]] provides access to the [https://vrchat.com/home VRChat website], the [[VRChat SDK]], and other VRChat services. Users who originally signed up through a platform such as Steam or Meta can [[Account Linking|link their platform account]] to a full VRChat account to unlock additional features. An active [[VRC+]] subscription expands storage limits for avatar favorites, world favorites, and [[Inventory|inventory]] items.

==Avatars==
''Main articles: [[Avatars]], [[Public Avatars]], [[Avatar Marketplace]]''

Users can manage their avatar collection by favoriting avatars they encounter, cloning avatars from other users (if cloning is enabled), or browsing [[Public Avatars|public avatars]] in the [[Shop]]. Additional avatars can be purchased through the [[Avatar Marketplace]]. Users with the required [[Trust Rank|trust rank]] can upload custom avatars using the [[VRChat SDK]].

==Worlds==
''Main articles: [[Worlds]], [[Instances]], [[Community Labs]]''

VRChat provides several tools for organizing worlds. Users can set a [[Worlds|home world]], maintain favorite world lists, and browse world categories or search for specific worlds. Creators can upload worlds using the [[VRChat SDK]], which first appear in [[Community Labs]] before becoming fully public. Each world can have multiple [[Instances|instances]] with different access types and regions.

==Groups==
''Main article: [[Groups]]''

[[Groups]] allow users to form and organize communities within VRChat. Members can join up to 100 groups (or 200 with [[VRC+]]), represent a group on their nameplate and profile, and participate in group [[Instances|instances]] and [[Calendar|events]]. Group owners can configure roles, permissions, and membership visibility.

==Social==
''Main articles: [[Social]], [[Trust Rank]], [[Reporting]]''

VRChat's [[Social|social features]] include a friends list, friend favorites, user profiles, statuses, invites, and friend notes. Users can manage who they interact with through blocking, muting, and [[Reporting|reporting]]. The [[Trust Rank]] system determines what level of content a user can see by default from other users.

==Inventory==
''Main articles: [[Inventory]], [[Emojis]], [[Stickers]], [[Items]]''

The [[Inventory]] system allows users to manage photos, prints, user icons, emojis, stickers, and items. Some inventory features, such as custom user icons and the photo gallery, require an active [[VRC+]] subscription. Users can upload custom [[Emojis|emojis]] and use [[Stickers|stickers]] and [[Items|items]] during gameplay.

==VRChat website==
''Main article: [[Resources]]''

Many management tasks can also be performed outside of the VRChat client through the [https://vrchat.com/home VRChat website]. The website provides access to friends, worlds, avatars, groups, and profile settings. It also serves as the primary interface for account management, including password resets and two-factor authentication.

==Third-party tools==

In addition to VRChat's built-in tools, third-party applications provide alternative interfaces for managing VRChat through the [[VRChat API]]. These tools often extend built-in features with additions such as unlimited local favorites, activity logging, and desktop notifications.
