Menus

Template:Noticebox/officialVRChat 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.

Quick Menu

View more detailed information on the Quick Menu article.

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.

The Quick Menu may colloquially be referred to as the “Small Menu” by VRChat users.

Main Menu

The Main Menu can be revealed by 'expanding' the Quick Menu. It offers a more robust collection of tabs with in-depth information about VRChat systems like Worlds, Avatars, Groups, etc. Some examples of features exclusive to the Main Menu are browsing worlds, a full suite of settings, searching for users and content, and more.

The Main Menu may colloquially be referred to as the “Big Menu” by VRChat users.

Action Menu

The Action Menu houses a variety of actions generally intended to be quickly used during social interaction. Options present themselves as segments in circular, nested menus, selected by inputting a flick in the direction of the segment you wish to interact with. The Action Menu is primarily used for activating features built in to avatars such as emotes within the Expressions category, however it also features categories for sending Emoji, toggling basic tools like the Personal Mirror, and an Options category for various settings.

The Action Menu may colloquially be referred to as the “Radial Menu” or “Circle Menu” by VRChat users.
