Main Menu

The Main Menu accesses a more verbose array of features and settings within VRChat. Double-clicking some of the tabs on the Quick Menu, or clicking the expansion button on the Quick Menu will open the Main Menu. There are currently thirteen different tabs for the Main Menu. You can also open or close the Wings on either side for more information at a glance.

Launch Pad

The Launch Pad on the Main Menu contains the Launch Pad banner from the Quick Menu, and an overview of the amount of friends who are online, any pending invites and friend requests in your notifications. There are also lists for "Recently Visited Online Friends", "Recently Visited Worlds", "Recently Updated Favorite Worlds", "Recently Updated Favorite Avatars", as well as a list of users who are not yet on your friend list that you may have recently interacted with.

Notification

An overview of any of all notifications that you have received. There are also sorted tabs specifically for Friend Requests, Invite, Invite Requests, Replies for invites sent out, Group notifications, and "Other" such as system notifications or pending votekicks in your instance.

There is also a tab for "Edit Messages" where you can customize your list of replies to invites, whether someone wants to join you, or if someone invites you to their instance.

Profile

The Profile menu, also introduced as the {{{1}}} Identity Update, includes a biography, spoken or signed languages a user communicates with, additional external URLs, any badges, a represented group which expands into a list of any group they publicly join, as well is current world and instance (if online or applicable). Scrolling down, you can see any worlds the user has uploaded (if applicable), or their lists of favorite worlds, if displayed publicly. On your profile, there is an extra list of avatars that you have uploaded, if applicable.

Worlds

On the World tab, you can browse different worlds to visit, and get more information and statistics. Each world has a World page. On a World page, you can find and join available instances, create an new instance and optionally, drop a portal; choose to "pre-load" the world, favorite or unfavorite the world to and from your lists, set it as your home world (if public), or view on the VRChat website. Double-clicking the Here tab from the Quick Menu will open up the world tab on the Main Menu, and redirected to the World page of the instance you are present in.

There may be a biography for the world, known as "About This World", and also "Details" or statistics for the world, including the amount of visits the world has received, favorites, publish date, date of the last time the world was updated, the download size of the world, and how many friends or people are in private or public instances. Also on the World page, a world may have "tags" to search for the world, or find similar worlds, the world author's profile, and more worlds created by the same author, if applicable.

To search for more worlds on the World tab, there are different lists on the left side, including a drop-down menu for "My Worlds", which includes worlds you Uploaded, worlds Recently Visited, Updated Favorites, as well as your Favorites list. You can rename your Favorites list to have different names. Below the My Worlds dropdown, are different lists categorized as: VRCat's Variety Box, Trending, Avatar Worlds Trending, Games - Active, New & Noteworthy, Spotlight Cross Platform, Spotlight PC, Popular, New, Updated Recently, Avatar Worlds - New, Community Labs, Random, Avatar Worlds - Random.

When opening the World tab, VRCat's Variety Box is open by default. It shows one world from each of the above list. You can also "shuffle" the list to get different recommendations. On other lists on the World Tab, you can change the grid type from 4x4 to 4x10, which reduces the thumbnail size for faster searching.

Avatars

The Avatar tab is the place to browse and change avatars in your collection. There are tabs of lists on the left side of the menu that sorts and categorizes your avatars: Recently Used, Uploaded, Favorites, Fallbacks, Other, Public, and Legacy. The Recently Used row will display the last twenty five avatars you used. You can access your uploaded avatars in the Uploaded tab if you are using a VRChat account, and have at least one avatar added to your account through Unity and the VRChat SDK. Every user has one Favorite row by default, storing up to 50 avatars to save and change into again; VRChat Plus users have a total of six Favorite lists, equaling to a total of 300 favorite avatars. Each list can be re-named to help with organization.

The tab for Fallback avatars contain two lists: one list of any Fallback-compatible avatars you have uploaded via the SDK, and a second list of Public avatars to serve as your Fallback avatar. The Other avatars row will show any avatars that you've uploaded to your account if it was uploaded as a local 'test'. Local test avatars cannot be seen by other users. Any avatars uploaded to your account via third-party methods, such as Tafi, or Ready Player Me will appear in the Other tab. Public avatars are optimized starter avatars, curated by VRChat. They can be worn as your primary avatar, or as a Fallback. Legacy avatars is an expanded list of optimized curated avatars that were originally uploaded using older versions of the VRChat SDK.

You can sort your avatars in grids of either 3x9 in a compact view, or 3x4 in the default view. Avatar lists can also be sorted by date added, date uploaded, alphanumerically, or most recently used in that list. The avatar menu will give you a local preview of the selected avatar, and you will be able to change into the avatar, favorite or unfavorite the avatar, or view avatar stats. Viewing avatar stats will give an overview of the selected avatar. It shows the uploader, date uploaded, description of the avatar, if applicable, and then statistics. Statistics include download size, texture memory, bounds, and the count of polygons, meshes, materials, bones and Physbones, contacts, animators, lights, particles, trail renders, cloth meshes, colliders, rigidbodies, audio sources (if on PC or Steam Deck), and constraints.

Social

The Social tab includes access to the instances of Friends and Groups, as well as the profiles of other users. The left side of the Social Menu includes lists for Friend Locations, Group Activity, Online Friends, In Instance, Favorite Friends Lists, Offline Friends, and Blocked users.

Friend Locations include a list of friends who are available on "Online" (green) status, or "Join Me" (blue) statuses, and are present in an accessible world such as Public, Friends+, Friends, Group Public, Group+ instances. Group Activity includes a list of available Group instances, for Groups that you have joined. If you have the ability to begin a Group, Group+, and Group Public instance, it will appear on the Group Activity tab for users in that group. Online Friends show the entire list of your friends who are currently online, including Friends on "Ask Me" (orange) or "Do Not Disturb" (red) statuses. In Instance displays each user who is currently present in the instance you are in; users who have blocked, and sharing the instance with you may not appear on this tab, unless you are a host. The "Here" tab on the Quick Menu functions the same as this row. Favorite Friends lists are three rows of friends who you have chosen to 'Favorite'. It can be placed in one of the three rows. Each list can be re-named to help with organization. Offline Friends are a list of your friends who are not logged into VRChat. Blocked users are other users who you decided to block. They can be clicked upon in this tab, and unblocked if desired.

Clicking on a user in the Social tab will open their profile, similar to the Profile Tab, except there are options to Gift VRChat+, Favorite or Unfavorite them, Friend or Unfriend, Moderate the user including muting, blocking, voting to kick, reporting them or warning them, Add Note, Invite to Group, View On Website, and view Avatar Details.

Groups

The Groups tab includes a list of all groups that you've joined. You can also use this tab to join or search new groups, and look for Group instance using the Group Activity row. Clicking on a group in the list will open a group profile, which includes four tabs. The Group Info tab displays the name, shortcode, banner and icon, amount of group members, URLs, as well as rules and a description of the group. The Gallery tab displays images that users have uploaded to the group's gallery via the VRChat website; this typically requires administrative permission to include pictures. The Instances tab shows a list of all available instances that the group is hosting. This can also be accessed via Group Activity.

The Posts tab shows any announcements or MOTDs the group has posted, along with a timestamp of the announcement. You can choose to "Represent" the group which will display the Group banner on your nameplate, if allowed. "Stop Representing" will remove the banner from your nameplate. The settings gear at the top right of a group profile will display your roles, sort the group in your group list, subscribe or unsubscribe from Group announcements, report the group, change your 'visibility' from Public to Friends Only or Private, or simply leave the group.
