The Main Menu accesses a more verbose array of features and settings within VRChat. Double-clicking the tabs on the Quick Menu, or clicking the expansion button on the Quick Menu will open the Main Menu. There are currently thirteen different tabs for the Main Menu. You can also open or close the Wings on either side for more information at a glance.

Launch Pad

The Launch Pad on the Main Menu contains the Launch Pad banner from the Quick Menu, and an overview of the amount of friends who are online, any pending invites and friend requests in your notifications. There are also lists for "Recently Visited Online Friends", "Recently Visited Worlds", "Recently Updated Favorite Worlds", "Recently Updated Favorite Avatars", as well as a list of users who are not yet on your friend list that you may have recently interacted with.

Notifications

An overview of any of all notifications that you have received. There are also sorted tabs specifically for Friend Requests, Invite, Invite Requests, Replies for invites sent out, Group notifications, and "Other" such as system notifications or pending votekicks in your instance.

Edit Messages

There is also a tab for "Edit Messages" where you can customize your list of replies to invites, whether someone wants to join you, or if someone invites you to their instance.

Profile

See also User Profiles for more detailed information.

VRChat's User Profile.

Introduced in the Identity Update, user profiles are a personalized space where information is displayed about a user. Information on a user's profile includes: status; trust rank; bio; their current instance (if applicable); languages they speak; social links; badges they own; and the groups they're in.

Worlds

See also Worlds for more detailed information.

On the World tab, you can browse different worlds to visit, and get more information and statistics. Each world has a World page. On a World page, you can find and join available instances, create an new instance and optionally, drop a portal; choose to "pre-load" the world, favorite or unfavorite the world to and from your lists, set it as your home world (if public), or view on the VRChat website. Double-clicking the Here tab from the Quick Menu will open up the world tab on the Main Menu, and redirected to the World page of the instance you are present in.

There may be a biography for the world, known as "About This World", and also "Details" or statistics for the world, including the amount of visits the world has received, favorites, publish date, date of the last time the world was updated, the download size of the world, and how many friends or people are in private or public instances. Also on the World page, a world may have "tags" to search for the world, or find similar worlds, the world author's profile, and more worlds created by the same author, if applicable.

To search for more worlds on the World tab, there are different lists on the left side, including a drop-down menu for "My Worlds", which includes worlds you Uploaded, worlds Recently Visited, Updated Favorites, as well as your Favorites list. You can rename your Favorites list to have different names. Below the My Worlds dropdown, are different lists categorized as: VRCat's Variety Box, Trending, Avatar Worlds Trending, Games - Active, New & Noteworthy, Spotlight Cross Platform, Spotlight PC, Popular, New, Updated Recently, Avatar Worlds - New, Community Labs, Random, Avatar Worlds - Random.

When opening the World tab, VRCat's Variety Box is open by default. It shows one world from each of the above list. You can also "shuffle" the list to get different recommendations. On other lists on the World Tab, you can change the grid type from 4x4 to 4x10, which reduces the thumbnail size for faster searching.

Avatars

See also Avatars for more detailed information.

The Avatar tab is the place to browse and change avatars in your collection. There are tabs of lists on the left side of the menu that sorts and categorizes your avatars: Recently Used, Uploaded, Favorites, Fallbacks, Other, Public, and Legacy. The Recently Used row will display the last twenty five avatars you used. You can access your uploaded avatars in the Uploaded tab if you are using a VRChat account, and have at least one avatar added to your account through Unity and the VRChat SDK. Every user has one Favorite row by default, storing up to 50 avatars to save and change into again; VRChat Plus users have a total of six Favorite lists, equaling to a total of 300 favorite avatars. Each list can be re-named to help with organization.

The tab for Fallback avatars contain two lists: one list of any Fallback-compatible avatars you have uploaded via the SDK, and a second list of Public avatars to serve as your Fallback avatar. The Other avatars row will show any avatars that you've uploaded to your account if it was uploaded as a local 'test'. Local test avatars cannot be seen by other users. Any avatars uploaded to your account via third-party methods, such as Tafi, or Ready Player Me will appear in the Other tab. Public avatars are optimized starter avatars, curated by VRChat. They can be worn as your primary avatar, or as a Fallback. Legacy avatars is an expanded list of optimized curated avatars that were originally uploaded using older versions of the VRChat SDK.

You can sort your avatars in grids of either 3x9 in a compact view, or 3x4 in the default view. Avatar lists can also be sorted by date added, date uploaded, alphanumerically, or most recently used in that list. The avatar menu will give you a local preview of the selected avatar, and you will be able to change into the avatar, favorite or unfavorite the avatar, or view avatar stats. Viewing avatar stats will give an overview of the selected avatar. It shows the uploader, date uploaded, description of the avatar, if applicable, and then statistics. Statistics include download size, texture memory, bounds, and the count of polygons, meshes, materials, bones and Physbones, contacts, animators, lights, particles, trail renders, cloth meshes, colliders, rigidbodies, audio sources (if on PC or Steam Deck), and constraints.
