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.

Tiles

Within the Launch Pad, there are eight buttons or tiles that are featured on the center of the Quick Menu. These tiles are commonly accessed during your VRChat session to change worlds, avatars, and settings.

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:

To the right of the clock, is the balance of your VRChat Credits. Clicking on the button will send you to the Marketplace tab in the Main Menu, where you can purchase more credits, or find groups and worlds to exchange credits for perks.

Below the credit balance, are two buttons. The one on the left is the Report button. You can click it if you find an offensive user, world, group, or avatar that violates VRChat Community Guidelines. On the right of the report button will expand the Quick Menu into the Main Menu. At the very bottom left of the Quick Menu, left of the Launch Pad tab, is the Microphone toggle button. You can click it to enable or disable your microphone. You may need to adjust your settings if you are using Push To Talk.

At the bottom right of the Quick Menu is the Safe Mode button. Clicking this will hide most avatars and mute most users instantly. To disable Safe Mode, you can click the button again, or click "Change Safety Shield" tile on the Launch Pad. If a user has VRChat+, then VRChat's mascot, VRCat will appear at the top of your screen. You can repeatedly click on VRCat to 'pet' them which VRCat will say different phrases.
