Quick Menu
The Quick Menu is the most utilized menu in VRChat for its versatility. It offers several features instantaneously, including tiles to bring open other menus, and accessing information at a glance. When opening the Quick Menu, it always opens on the Launch Pad tab, symbolized by the rocket symbol on the bottom. The primary features of the Launch Pad are the banners, and the easy access to Quick Links and Quick Actions, as described in the tiles shown. One can change tabs that are located on the bottom side of the Quick Menu, expand or close the Wings, change the clock, or access the other buttons.
Launch Pad Banners
Banners that are on display for the Launch Pad can notify you of VRChat events, new features, or resources for new players. In rare cases, the Launch Pad banners can display a message to update VRChat if a new systematic feature is rolled out, or to let you know if you're currently running an Open Beta version of VRChat, where you may be isolated from friends playing on a different version.

Clock
Optionally, you can display different clocks at the top of your Quick Menu. Clocks were revealed and added to the Quick Menu on April Fools, 2024. Presumed as a temporary feature for April Fools, there was overwhelming support from the community to keep this feature as a permanent addition to the Quick Menu. Naturally, there are toggles for a 12-hour clock, and a 24-hour clock. The clock system also allows you to set the time zone that the clock is displaying. The available time zones are "Local Time", the time set on your device, UTC (Universal Time Coordination), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or "Random Time Zone".
Additionally, there are different pre-set fonts and colors to choose for your clock:
