Giving Feedback For Open Beta
Your feedback on Open Beta periods are important to VRChat's development, and will be noticed by the Development Team when posted to their Feedback Board, also known as Canny. Implementing a feature is not always as easy as it seems! The process can be tricky, and may take time to include something new; bugs and errors can arise, which require problem solving and feedback from users, and it is important to document anything unusual that occurs.
