VRChat makes use of several menu types that can be used to interact with different aspects of the platform. Most notably the [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]], the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] and the [[Special:MyLanguage/Action Menu|Action Menu]]. While these menus do serve distinct purposes and offer exclusive features, they often share the same functions and settings, merely presented in different formats better suited for different contexts.

== Quick Menu == 


[[File:Quick Menu.webp|thumb| A screenshot of the Quick Menu in VRChat.]]


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]] for more detailed information.''


The Quick Menu contains options and actions a user may want to interact with often. The features found in the Quick Menu are generally a condensed version of their counterparts in the Main Menu, with a few exceptions. Some examples of features exclusive to the Quick Menu are a button to visit your Home World, a button to respawn, the Here tab, and more.


The Quick Menu may colloquially be referred to as the "Small" or "Square" menu by VRChat users. By default it is opened on PC using the ''Escape'' key, on VR by pressing ''B / Y'' (top thumb button on either hand), and on gamepads and mobile by pressing the ''Menu'' button.

==Main Menu== 


[[File:Main Menu.webp|thumb| A screenshot of the Main Menu in VRChat.]]


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]] for more detailed information.''


The Main Menu can be revealed by 'expanding' the Quick Menu. It offers a more robust collection of tabs with in-depth information about VRChat systems like [[Special:MyLanguage/Worlds|Worlds]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Avatars|Avatars]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Groups|Groups]], etc. Some examples of features exclusive to the Main Menu are browsing worlds, a full suite of settings, searching for users and content, and more.


The Main Menu may colloquially be referred to as the "Big Menu" by VRChat users.

==Action Menu == 


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Action Menu|Action Menu]] for more detailed information.''


The Action Menu houses a variety of actions generally intended to be quickly used during social interaction. Options present themselves as segments in circular, nested menus, selected by inputting a flick in the direction of the segment you wish to interact with. The Action Menu is primarily used for activating features built in to avatars such as emotes within the Expressions category, however it also features categories for sending Emoji, toggling basic tools like the Personal [[Special:MyLanguage/Mirror|Mirror]], and an Options category for various settings.


The Action Menu may colloquially be referred to as the "Radial" or "Circle" menu by VRChat users. By default it is opened on PC using the ''R'' key, on VR by pressing and holding ''B / Y'' (top thumb buttons), on gamepads by pressing the ''Right Thumbstick'', and on mobile by pressing and holding the ''Menu'' button.

==Settings == 


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Settings|Settings]] for more detailed information.''


Settings are preferences to customize your VRChat experience. Menus for settings can be found in the Quick Menu, Main Menu, and Action Menu. They cover preferences for UI Elements, User Interface, Avatars, Your Avatar, Avatar Culling, Chatboxes, Display and Visual Adjustments, Comfort & Safety, and Audio & Voice, Graphics, [[Special:MyLanguage/Mirrors|Mirrors]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Controls|Controls]], Tracking & IK, Accessibility, and Debugging.


The Main Menu and Quick Menu tab for Settings is identified by a [[File:Icons Settings 25.png|frameless|16x16px]] cog icon. The Settings tab in the Action Menu is identified as "Options", which can be accessed upwards on the wheel.

== Camera == 


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Camera|Camera]] for more detailed information.''


The Camera is used to take pictures within VRChat. It can be accessed through the Quick Menu, or the Tools tab of the Action Menu. You can enable your camera in compatible modes, such as the '''Photo Camera''', '''Screenshots''', or '''Multi-Layered'''; also capture '''Icon''', and '''Gallery''' photos, and access them within the client, or on the VRChat website if subscribed to [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat+|VRChat+]]. Desktop and PCVR users will have access to a '''Open Photos Folder''' button in the Camera tab, and can browse their snapshots on their computer. To quickly open the camera the icon is in the quick menu at the bottom.

== Debug Menus== 


[[File:SteamDebugLaunchParam.webp|thumb| A screenshot of the Steam launch settings page.]]


''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Debug Menu|Debug Menus]] for more detailed information.''


These are tools to help debug worlds, avatars, and [[Special:MyLanguage/Open Sound Control|OSC]] in-game. In order to see these, VRChat needs to be launched using the launch parameter <code>--enable-debug-gui</code>. There are 9 different debug views to help creators fix errors or to test optimizations applied and their impact.

<blockquote>A deathmatch game world based on [[Wikipedia:Unreal Tournament|Unreal Tournament]] and its popular Instagib mutator․ In instagib‚ you are equipped with a weapon that kills other players in one hit․ You can play against other players or up to 12 AI bots․ Do you have what it takes to win? GROUP˸ IGT․3531 [Version 1․0․5]</blockquote>

'''Instagib Tournament''' is a cross-platform player-versus-player [[:Category:Game worlds|game world]] where you have to shoot opponents atop three opposing skyscrapers.

== Gameplay ==
Equipped with a gun that shoots lasers the goal is for each player to hit other players or bots. Each hit counts as a point and the player with the most points after the time limit wins the match. The gun can only shoot once a second with a focus on aiming precisely also each player has an outline that shows where a hit registers.[[File:IGT_Gameplay.webp|thumb|Gameplay of Instagib Tournament.]]

== Source material ==
Instagib Tournament's arena is a near-replica of ''DM-Morpheus'' from [[Wikipedia:Unreal Tournament|Unreal Tournament 1999]], a map with three skyscrapers towering towards outer space.

Instagib is a mutator in all Unreal Tournament games, which equips the player with a super shock rifle that frags enemies with a single shot. This weapon is so insanely powerful that it turns enemies instantly into "giblets". All other weapons and powerups are removed from the match. Instagib is mostly used in deathmatch and capture the flag gametypes. This mutator can also be found in other games like Quake.

<blockquote>Liandri Mining Corporation knew they had found an excellent arena at the very top of a newly constructed Galaxyscraper SuperStructure. Thanks to the modern miracle of super tensile solids, these three buildings reach a staggering 12 miles high at their pinnacle. The thin atmosphere and reduced influence of Earth's gravity provide an interesting test of the tournament athete's ability to adapt and conquer in extreme environments.</blockquote>
[[File:MorpheusProfile.webp|thumb|The profile of DM-Morpheus from Unreal Tournament.]]

== Trivia ==
*Instagib Tournament was featured in VRChat's Developer Update on April 20, 2023.
*An asteroid with two opposing structures can be seen in the distance from the arena. This is a callback to [[Wikipedia:Facing_Worlds|''CTF-Face'']] or "Facing Worlds" from Unreal Tournament.
*The term ''instagib'' is a portmanteaux of the words 'instantaneous giblets', giblets referring to the edible organs of poultry. In other words, instagib informally means "blown to chunks".

<blockquote>''Bandits are invading the peaceful town of Copper Bend. Are you going to join their rows or are you going to arms to defend the town's riches?''</blockquote>
[[File:SNG Map.webp|thumb|Steel 'n' Gold map layout.]]
'''Steel 'n' Gold''' is a Western-style PvP [[:Category:Game worlds|game world]], created by VRChat. It originally launched in July 2017 and was remastered using [[Special:MyLanguage/Udon|Udon]] in February 2023.

== Overview ==
In Steel 'n' Gold, players can choose to be on either of two teams: Bandits, or Sheriffs. Both teams are armed with revolvers with limited ammunition that can be reloaded. The objective for the sheriffs is to prevent gold ingots from getting stolen; sheriffs can return any ingots stationary on the group by clicking on them, and warping them to their original safe. The objective of the bandits is to break into buildings and crack open safes to retrieve gold bars. Copper Bend features stationary and throwable explosives, tunnels on each team base, and stage hazards.

== Win conditions ==
A sixty-second 'overtime' countdown will initiate, on the condition that the timer runs to zero while the remaining bar of gold is in the bandits' possession. The sheriff will win the game if they return the gold in overtime, or if the overtime clock reaches zero before the bandits bring it back to their base. The timer will continue to count down if the ingot is dropped with nobody touching it. Bandits must deliver the gold back to their base to win during overtime.

=== Sheriff team ===
* The sheriff team will win by defending the gold, and if the bandits fail to succeed in retrieving every bar of gold in the allotted time.

* Sheriffs can also win if all bandits are placed in jail using lassos, however this win condition is difficult to achieve!

=== Bandit team ===

* The bandits will win the game only if every bar of gold is taken to the safe inside of the bandits' base within the time limit.

== Stage hazards ==
Stage hazards for Steel 'n' Gold include stationary containers of explosives that when shot at, will frag anyone within its blast radius. A fast-moving train runs a straight line down the middle of Copper Bend, which will frag anyone in its direct path; the freight also has containers of explosives, which can be shot at to frag those nearby. It's a good idea for players to maneuver in a way that avoids any explosives.

== Strategies ==
In addition to the Sheriff being able to use their revolvers, sheriffs can capture bandits at close range using a lasso, which will warp the bandit inside of a jail cell which stalls time for the opposing team members to steal gold. Bandits can break out of jail by picking the lock to the door by clicking and holding onto the door; or if another bandit outside of the jail detonates an explosive to destroy the walls of the jail cell, freeing everyone inside. When the train goes by the jail, lining up a shot with the crates of explosives will blow a hole in the wall of the jail.

Explosives can strategically be lobbed at the opposing team, but players also risk detonating themselves and their allies. They can be used to break open safes, with the time it takes to open a safe being based on its health. One explosion can reduce the safe's health by up to 50%, halving the time it takes to open. A second explosion can then fully open the safe. only explosives can damage safes, Explosives held by enemies can also be shot at, causing them to detonate in their hands and instantly fragging them.

When a player loses all their health points, they will respawn back at their team's base. Both team bases have a trapdoor that can be used to bypass an alternative route, instead of exiting from any of the regular base exits. This promotes strategy and reduces ''spawn camping'' or puppy-guarding.

Perching up on a roof or a high place, such as the church steeple, or treetop can be advantageous for either team occupying the zone.

==Trivia==

*The overhead announcer for Steel 'n' Gold was voiced by Ron, VRChat's former Chief Creative Officer.
*"Copper Bend" is likely a play-on-word for the term ''coppers'', an old slang word for 'cop' or sheriff.
*The name of the freight train running through town is called the "Copper Express".
*Steel 'n' Gold has a "cousin" called ''Miner Dispute'', with identical gameplay and mechanics, and a different map layout.
*The spectator platform was once the spawn area for the original Steel 'n' Gold world.
*The original version of Steel 'n' Gold used C# scripts for all functionality. It did not use the VRChat SDK.

Usr f4a1d15b-d926-43cb-a597-15852eef5a0b: some explanation about group banners

<languages/>
{{Noticebox/Official}}
[[File:Groups Render.webp|thumb|<translate> Official render of the "Groups" logo.</translate>]]
<translate>

'''Groups''' is a social feature aimed towards forming and maintaining communities within VRChat. The purpose of creating a group allows other users to join them, typically to assimilate an audience such as a fanbase or [[Special:MyLanguage/Community:Culture|culture]], and optionally, to host and participate in events within group instances. Members of a group may choose to represent it, showcasing the group's banner on their nameplate and profile. The Groups feature was officially released on [https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/vrchat-groups November 30th, 2022].

==Joining a group== 


To join a group, you must first navigate to a group's page. Users can be in up to 100 different groups at a time, or up to 200 with an active [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat+|VRChat+]] subscription. To join a group, you can either find one through the Search tab or Group tab in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]]. It's also possible to join a group by browsing another user's list of groups they are representing on their profile, or by clicking on specific promotional posters located in worlds. Once you are in a group, you are able to join any active group instances via the '''Instances tab''' on the group's page, or the '''Group Activity''' row in the Social tab.

===Representing=== 


Representing a group displays the group's name and banner on the user's nameplate and profile. A user may represent a group by going to the group's page on the main menu and clicking the button labeled: "Represent Group", on the top right corner. A single group may be represented at a time.

===Membership visibility=== 


A member of a group may choose to obscure affiliation from displaying on their profile in the list of joined groups. However, a user will '''still''' be able to see if you're in the group under the following conditions:


*They mutually share the group with you.
*The user has the "View All Members" permission.


[[File:VRChat 1FSHUeX5jS.png|thumb|150x150px|Group visibility options]]


You can hide visibility by going to the '''Group tab''' within the VRChat client, selecting the group, and clicking the cog icon at the top right on the menu. This will open a '''Group Settings''' submenu, to which you can change visibility at will.


It is also possible to change visibility from the VRChat website by going to the Group tab in the sidebar, selecting the group, clicking "'''Settings"''', and then choosing the '''Visibility''' setting right for you beneath '''"My Membership"'''.

==Creating a group== 


To create a group, a user must first have an active [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat+|VRChat+]] subscription. Maintaining the VRChat+ subscription is not necessary for retaining group ownership. An active VRChat+ subscription is required to change icons, banners and edit the group's gallery using the VRChat+ Gallery, as well as transferring ownership of the group to another user. Currently, creating a group must be done via the {{VRC link|https://vrchat.com/home/groups|VRChat website}}. A user can own a maximum of 5 groups, of which a maximum of 100,000 members can join each group.

===Joinability and visibility=== 


When creating a group, an onboarding process presents the creator with a few privacy options. The '''joinability''' of a group determines any given user's ability to join the group. This setting can be changed later.
{| class="wikitable"
!Free Join
|Anyone can join the group freely.
|-
!Request to Join
|New members must request to join the group.
|-
!Invite-Only
|Those with the right permissions may invite new members to the group.
|}
The '''visibility''' of a group determines whether or not the group can be represented or displayed on a member's profile. This setting '''cannot''' be changed later.
{| class="wikitable"
!Public
|Members can choose to advertise the group on their profile.
|-
!Private
|The group cannot be advertised or displayed by members.
|}
As mentioned, any user can manually obscure of any public group from displaying on their profile via Visibility settings.

===Group banner===
A banner can be uploaded by using the options on the website. The image that is uploaded is not showing entirely above those who represent it only a part of it shows. When the menu is opened up it will show a larger part of the banner.

==Group roles and permissions== 

===Viewing your roles=== 


While it is not currently possible to select or change roles within the VRChat client, you can view all current roles applied to your account by opening the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]], and clicking on the Group tab, click on a group that you wish to view your roles for. There is a 'cog' icon towards the top right of the menu, which expands a rightwards '''Group Settings''' submenu. The very top of the submenu will let you browse the roles currently applied.

===Default roles=== 


[[File:Groups default roles.png|thumb|253x253px|Role overview]]


Groups have three different tiers for roles: '''Management Roles''', '''Member Roles''', and '''Default Role'''. Automatically, groups will have three roles when the group is created: '''Everyone''', which is listed under 'Default Role', '''Member''', which is listed under 'Member Role', and '''Group Owner''', which is listed under 'Management Role'. The role names for 'Group Owner' and 'Member' can be changed, but 'Everyone' cannot be changed or deleted.


Group Owner permissions cannot be changed or deleted in any way, since by default, they should always have all permissions. The Group owner, however, can be transferred to another willing group member as long as both parties are subscribed to VRChat+. This should be deliberated heavily before transfer, since all transfers are final. Read more about Group Transferring below.

===Creating roles=== 


Roles can be added, renamed, or deleted at any time by a group's management. Each role can be given a description, and a custom set of permissions. Permissions are either toggled on, or off for a group. Roles can optionally be set to be '''Assigned On Join''', be '''Self Assignable''', or '''Require 2FA'''. Self Assignable roles are optional, and users can sign into the VRChat website to apply roles to themselves, if available. However, users on platform accounts, such as Steam or Meta accounts, are unable to log in and do so, since logging into their account on the VRChat website requires the [[Special:MyLanguage/Getting Started#Account Creation|creation of a VRChat account]]. Group management can manually apply roles to any user at will.
{| class="wikitable"

!Function
!Description
|-
|Assign On Join
|If enabled, new members will be assigned this role when they join the group. This will not affect existing members.
|-
|Self Assignable

|-
|Require 2FA
|Requires members to have 2FA before permissions apply.
|}


[[File:Groups permissions overview.png|thumb|Some of the available permissions that may be assigned, as seen in the Group Management Options]]

* Step 4: Click on '''Roles''', below that tab.


* Step 5: Click on the role that you wish to edit permissions for, and click '''Permissions''' with the lock icon.

==Group instances== 


The owner of a group, and those with the correct permissions may create group instances. There are three types of group instances.
{| class="wikitable"
!Group
|Only members of a group (or certain roles within the group if specified) can join the instance.
|-
!Group+
|Any friend of a user in the instance can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance.
|-
!Group Public
|A publicly listed instance hosted by a group to which anyone can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance.
|}
Group instances are often '''moderated by the group hosting the instance'''. The group's owner and those given moderation permissions through their role may warn, mute, kick or ban a user within the instance. Banning a user from a group permanently prevents them from joining any Instances made by the group, as well as joining the group itself.

===Group instance queues=== 


Group Instances are also great for managing events with a high amount of people. For that situation, the '''VRChat Group Queues''' option will setup a waiting queue to process joining requests when the instance max capacity is reached. When you join the queue for an instance, you will be placed in and will receive a invite request when a slot becomes available. Once the request is received on your side, you have one minute to join the instance before your slot is given to the next person.

==Transferring a group == 


As of March 27, 2024<ref>https://ask.vrchat.com/t/developer-update-28-march-2024/23676</ref>, owners of groups could choose to transfer the ownership of a group to another willing group member as long as both parties are subscribed to VRChat+, and have available space. This should be taken under consideration, as all transfers are final.


'''You can transfer your group ownership to another member of the group; the target member and the group must meet the requirements below.'''
*The target member has verified their email address (check the Email section via account settings)
* The target member has an active VRC+ subscription
*The target member can still own more groups (each user can own up to 5 groups)
*The group is not monetized
