傳送門
「傳送門」（Portals），是前往不同世界（Worlds）與房間（Instances）的主要移動方式之一。傳送門可以固定在世界當中，也可以由用戶自行放置。
建立傳送門
可透過在主選單的「世界」標籤頁中，選擇任意一個世界並點擊「創建新的房間」（New Instance），接著選擇房間類型以及設定房間所在的伺服器地區。選擇完畢後，第二個畫面中便會有一個「放置傳送門」（Drop Portal）的按鈕，以及旁邊的鎖頭圖示按鈕。若未將其鎖定，則任何用戶都能看見該傳送門；反之，若將其鎖定，則只有你自己與好友能看見該傳送門。
放置傳送門
當用戶點擊了「放置傳送門」的按鈕後，畫面中會出現一個拋物線狀的虛線標記，用於選擇你想放置傳送門的位置。傳送門必須放置於平坦表面上，且不能與世界物件或玩家重疊。此外，傳送門也無法放置在重生點（Spawn Point）附近。
若要確認放置傳送門，用戶可以依據所使用的平台或模式，以點擊滑鼠左鍵、按下控制器扳機鍵、點擊螢幕，或以拇指與食指做出捏合手勢確認放置。VR 用戶也可以透過按下想使用之控制器的握把鍵，切換由哪隻手放置傳送門。
若「設定」（Setting）標籤頁中的「傳送門放置模式」（Portal Mode）被選為「放置在前方」（Drop In Front），則在點擊「放置傳送門」按鈕後，傳送門會立即出現在你的正前方。
放置好了之後，傳送門將會顯示給其他用戶看見，並展示其世界名稱、放置傳送門的用戶、伺服器地區、房間編號、房間類型、這房間的所在群組（如果適用）、房間人數及容量、平台相容性及計時器等資訊。計時器會從 30 秒倒數至 0 秒，當倒數歸零時，傳送門將會消失。每當有用戶進入傳送門後，計時器便會重新重置回 30 秒重新倒數。
若傳送門所通往的世界不支援特定平台，則使用不相容平台查看該傳送門的用戶將無法進入該房間。此時，傳送門周圍會顯示紅色的「X」圖示。因此，在前往其他房間前，通常會建議先留意好友或同行者所使用的平台，以避免有人因平台不相容而被留在原本的房間。
Portals to Public/GroupPublic can be dropped by everyone. Portals to Group+ instances can be dropped by the owner of the Group or if with "Portal to Group+ Instances" permission. Portals to Friends+/Friends/Invite+/Invite instances can be dropped by the owner of the instance.
Clicking on a portal
When a portal is available, they can be clicked on, like other users. By opening up the Quick Menu, clicking on a portal's capsule will open up its world page, and instance information. This allows you to pre-load the world instance instead of walking into the portal, as well as browse its world download size, or favorite it.
Static portals
Portals may appear pre-placed in worlds, leading to other worlds. These are called "static portals". When a user walks into a static portal, the portal will display a newly generated instance ID. Within thirty seconds, any user may follow into that portal's instance. Static Portals do not disappear.
Settings
A variety of settings are available to customize portals. These can be accessed by going to the Settings Menu and typing portal in the Search bar.
- Portal Prompt - Toggles the requirement for input confirmation from a controller before entering a portal.
- Portal Mode - Place Manually, Drop in Front.
- Place Manually lets a user control where their portal is dropped.
- Drop In Front causes the portal to instantaneously spawn in front of the user.
- Show Portal Notifications - Notifications will appear on your HUD when a portal is dropped.
- Only Show Friend Join/Leave/Portal Notifications - This toggle will restrict portal notifications to only show when friends drop a portal.
Skins
Portal skins are a type of cosmetic item that can be used to change the appearance of portals. Aside from their unique design, they can feature different opening and closing animations and sound effects. Portal skin can be selected in the "Cosmetics" tab in the Inventory.

SDK
World authors can add portals to their world via the VRC Portal Marker prefab from the VRChat SDK. It is located in Packages/com.vrchat.worlds/Samples/UdonExampleScene/Prefabs/VRCPortalMarker.prefab. It allows a world ID along with an optional custom portal name. Alternatively, the Portal Marker may point to the official VRChat Hub or Home World instead.
VRC Portal Marker scripts can be updated dynamically through Udon.
