VRChat makes use of several menu types that can be used to interact with different aspects of the platform. Most notably the [[Quick Menu]], the [[Main Menu]] and the [[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.

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.
