; Local Photo : After taken, it captures a regular photo. This is the default mode.
; Multi Layer : After taken, it captures a photo and creates images of each enabled mask. This mode does support focus or filters and may cause frame lag.
: It can create up to three additional images (besides the regular photo): "Environment", "Users" (Combines the Local & Remote Users masks), and "UI". The "Users" & "UI" masks save with alpha transparency.
; Stream : Replaces the desktop view with the camera view. In desktop mode, the "Spout Stream" toggle will appear, allowing the user to receive the camera view through supported applications.
: The "Spout Stream" toggle requires applications to support the [https://spout.zeal.co/ Spout] protocol to receive the camera view.
: This mode is only available on PC.
; Gallery : After taken, a UI appears allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo within a rectangular crop. "Save & Apply" saves it to the Photo Gallery section of the Inventory. Requires VRC+.
; User Icon : After taken, a UI appears allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo within a circular crop. "Save & Apply" saves it to the User Icon section of the Inventory and will automatically set the user icon to it. Requires VRC+.
; Sticker : ''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Stickers|Stickers]] for more detailed information.''
: Shows a square outline, highlighting the cropping region. After taken, the "Create Sticker" UI appears, allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo with six preset crops. "Save" saves it to the Stickers section of the Inventory. Requires VRC+.
; Print : ''See also [[Special:MyLanguage/Prints|Prints]] for more detailed information.''

The Camera is an in-game tool that allows users to take photos to capture their experiences in VRChat.

Accessing

There are multiple ways to access the camera in VRChat:

  • Open the Action Menu, select Tools, then select Camera.
  • Open the Quick Menu and click on the Camera tab on the bottom row. The Quick Menu provides options for all camera modes.
  • Double-click the Camera tab on the bottom tab of the Quick Menu. This will immediately take out or put away the camera.

Modes

Camera tab in the Quick Menu.

The camera modes determine how the camera behaves when taking a photo. There are seven camera modes which corresponds to different features:

Local Photo
After taken, it captures a regular photo. This is the default mode.
Multi Layer
After taken, it captures a photo and creates images of each enabled mask. This mode does support focus or filters and may cause frame lag.
It can create up to three additional images (besides the regular photo): "Environment", "Users" (Combines the Local & Remote Users masks), and "UI". The "Users" & "UI" masks save with alpha transparency.
Stream
Replaces the desktop view with the camera view. In desktop mode, the "Spout Stream" toggle will appear, allowing the user to receive the camera view through supported applications.
The "Spout Stream" toggle requires applications to support the Spout protocol to receive the camera view.
This mode is only available on PC.
Gallery
After taken, a UI appears allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo within a rectangular crop. "Save & Apply" saves it to the Photo Gallery section of the Inventory. Requires VRC+.
User Icon
After taken, a UI appears allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo within a circular crop. "Save & Apply" saves it to the User Icon section of the Inventory and will automatically set the user icon to it. Requires VRC+.
Sticker
See also Stickers for more detailed information.
Shows a square outline, highlighting the cropping region. After taken, the "Create Sticker" UI appears, allowing the user to zoom, reposition and mirror the photo with six preset crops. "Save" saves it to the Stickers section of the Inventory. Requires VRC+.
Print
See also Prints for more detailed information.
After taken, the print UI appears, allowing the user to edit the note. "Print & Save" saves it to the Prints section of the Inventory and will automatically print the print within the world. Requires VRC+.
Emoji
See also Emojis for more detailed information.
Shows a square outline, highlighting the cropping region. After taken, the "Create Emoji" UI appears, allowing the user to choose animations, zoom, reposition and mirror the photo with six preset crops. "Save" saves it to the Emoji section of the Inventory. Requires VRC+.
Animated options require the user to take a photo for every frame (4 or 16).
Emoji (1)
Animated (4)
Animated (16)

These three "modes" are not accessible through the Camera Mode button, but rather other means:

Accessing saved photos

  • Windows operating systems will store VRChat photos using the default file path of the Pictures folder C:/Users/(Owner)/Pictures/VRChat. Photos will be sorted by month and year. On desktop and PCVR versions of VRChat, opening the Camera tab in the Quick Menu and choosing "Open Photos Folder" will directly open the File Explorer to that file path.
  • Steam users can access their Steam screenshots, separate from VRChat photos using the default file path C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/XXXXXXXXX/760/remote/438100/screenshots
  • Standalone VR users can access their photos through the Files/Photos app on their respective system dashboard or through their respective apps on the user's phone or other device if synced.
  • Mobile devices can access their VRChat photos through the Gallery app, or from the Files app on their device.
