	=== ~~Built~~-in ~~parameters~~ ===		Additional built-in parameters include:
			* <code>Viseme</code> (Int) — Set by lip sync from <code>0</code> (silence) to <code>14</code> (the "u" vowel) when the Avatar Descriptor's Lip Sync is set to Viseme Blend Shape or Viseme Parameter Only.
			* <code>Voice</code> (Float) — Perceived microphone volume from <code>0.0</code> to <code>1.0</code>, affected by distance and earmuff settings.
			* <code>VelocityX</code>, <code>VelocityY</code>, <code>VelocityZ</code>, <code>VelocityMagnitude</code> (Float) — Movement speed in m/s along each axis and total magnitude. Locally, playspace movement does not count; remotely, it does.
			* <code>Upright</code> (Float) — <code>0</code> when prone, <code>1</code> when standing.
			* <code>Grounded</code> (Bool) — Whether the user is touching the ground.
			* <code>MuteSelf</code> (Bool) — Whether the user's microphone is muted.
			* <code>Earmuffs</code> (Bool) — Whether the user has earmuffs enabled.
			* <code>IsOnFriendsList</code> (Bool) — Whether the viewer is friends with the avatar's wearer (shows False locally).
			* <code>ScaleFactor</code>, <code>ScaleFactorInverse</code>, <code>EyeHeightAsMeters</code>, <code>EyeHeightAsPercent</code> (Float) — Scaling-related parameters for avatar scaling. <code>EyeHeightAsMeters</code> is recommended for scale-aware systems because it is linear and does not depend on upload height.
			</div>

			<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
			Each built-in parameter has a sync type determining when it is sent to remote users: ''IK'' for tracking-derived values (gestures, velocity, grounded), ''Speech'' for voice-related values (viseme, voice), ''Playable'' for user-state values (mute, earmuffs, tracking type, scale), or ''None'' for local-only values (IsLocal, PreviewMode).

Only synced expression parameters and certain built-in parameters are sent over the network. The full list of data sent for each avatar includes:
			* '''IK targets''' — Head, jaw, and hands for desktop and 3-point tracking; additionally hip and feet for full-body tracking. Index controller users also sync finger positions.
			* '''Synced expression parameters''' — Only parameters marked as Synced are transmitted. Values are quantized: Int values sync in the range 0–255, Float values sync as multiples of 1/127 between −1 and 1, and Bools sync as true or false.
			* '''Built-in VRC parameters''' — Including gestures, velocity, voice, and other runtime parameters.
