== Pre-link considerations ==
=== Favorites limit ===
Upon merging, if the total number of favorites from both accounts exceeds the platform's maximum limit, users may retain more favorites than typically allowed. However, to add new favorites, users must remove existing ones to fit within the limit. It is generally advised to link into a fresh account.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Purchase restrictions ===
Users who have made purchases through the [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]] on any platform (Steam, Meta, Pico, Viveport, Google) cannot link their accounts into a full VRChat account. This restriction is temporary and expected to be lifted.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Linking process ==
[[File:MainMenuLinkAccountButton.png|alt=A screenshot of the VRChat menu with a visible "Link Account" button.|thumb|Menu with "Link Account" button.]]
To merge a platform account into a full VRChat account, follow these steps:
# Log into the Steam, Meta, Pico, Google, or Viveport account you wish to link.
# Open the Main Menu in VRChat.
# Navigate to '''Settings'''.
# Locate and click the '''Link Account''' button below the Exit option.
#* If the '''Link Account''' button is not visible, you are likely already logged into a full VRChat account.
# Follow the on-screen instructions to link your account.
If there are still difficulties with linking your account, contact VRChat support at {{VRC link|https://vrch.at/support|VRChat Support}}.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Post-link ==
Linking is permanent and irreversible. Each full VRChat account can be linked to one account from each supported platform simultaneously. It can take up to one day for account data to fully merge. For any issues during or after the process, contact VRChat support at {{VRC link|https://vrch.at/support|VRChat Support}}.
