Selfie Expression is a feature that allows users to use a webcam for tracking on an avatar. This feature is currently in Early Access for VRC+ subscribers. It can track a user's facial expressions, head, eyes, and hands.

This system uses built-in visemes and just a webcam, allowing it to work with nearly all avatars that are configured with eye look and visemes.

How to enable

Selfie Expression requires the use of a webcam and can be enabled in Settings under Tracking & IK. You must enable it before it works.

Hardware requirement

  • Webcam with 4:3 ratio (well "Performance" is nearly).
Quality level Resolution Frames
Performance 177x144px 5fps
Balanced 320x240px 15fps
High Quality 640x480px 20fps
Best Quality 800x600px 30fps

Privacy and performance

All webcam data is processed locally, image data is never sent to other users or to VRChat servers. Due to using computer’s camera resources, it may be heavy on some systems.

Additional notes

  • If an avatar’s eyes aren’t tracking, it’s likely the eyelook settings have not been setup in the SDK.
