群组
群组是一种社交功能，目的是在 VRChat 中形成和维护社区。创建群组的目的是让其他用户加入群组，通常是粉丝群体或各种文化群体的聚集地，也可选择在群组房间中主办和参与活动。群组的成员可以选择展示该群组，在他们的铭牌和个人资料上展示群组的旗帜。群组功能于2022年11月10日正式发布。
加入群组
要加入一个群组，你必须首先打开群组页面。用户最多可以加入 100 个不同的群组，如果订阅了活跃的VRChat+，则最多可以加入 200 个群组。要加入一个群组，可以通过主菜单中的“搜索”选项卡或“群组”选项卡查找。也可以通过浏览其他用户在其个人档案中的群组列表，或点击位于世界中的特定宣传海报来加入群组。加入群组后，您可以通过群组页面上的房间选项卡或社交选项卡中的群组活动选项卡加入任何活跃的群组房间。
展示群组
展示群组会在用户的铭牌和个人资料上显示该群组的名称和横幅。用户可以通过进入主菜单中的群组页面并点击右上角的“展示群组”按钮来展示群组。一次只能展示一个群组。
群组成员可见性
群组成员可以选择在个人档案中隐藏已加入的群组。但是，在以下的情况下，用户仍然可以看到你是否在该群组中：
- 他们与你在同一个群组中。
- 用户拥有“查看所有成员”权限。
你可以通过进入 VRChat 客户端中的群组选项卡，选择群组并点击菜单右上角的齿轮图标来变更群组可见性。这将打开一个群组设置子菜单，你可以随意的更改可见性。
也可以从 VRChat 网站上变更可见性，方法是进入侧边栏的“群组”选项卡，选择群组，点击“Settings”，然后在“My Membership”下方选择你想要的的Visibility设置。
| Visible | 该群组会显示在你的个人资料中，所有人可见。 |
|---|---|
| Friends Only | 该群组会显示在你的个人资料中，但仅好友可见。 |
| Hidden | 该群组不会显示在你的个人资料中。 |
创建群组
要创建群组，用户必须首先拥有一个活跃的 VRChat+ 订阅。保持 VRChat+ 订阅并不是保留组所有权的必要条件。但如果要使用 VRChat+ 图库更改图标、横幅和编辑群组图库，以及将群组所有权转让给其他用户，则需要活跃的 VRChat+ 订阅。目前，创建群组必须通过 
VRChat 网站。一个用户最多可拥有 5 个群组，每个群组最多可有 100,000 名成员加入。
加入条件和可见性
创建群组时，创建流程会让创建者更改一些隐私选项。群组的加入条件决定了任何用户能否加入群组。这一设置可以在以后更改。
| Free Join | 任何人都可以随意加入群组。 |
|---|---|
| Request to Join | 新成员必须通过申请才可加入群组。 |
| Invite-Only | 只有拥有权限的人才可邀请新成员加入群组。 |
群组的可见性决定了该群组是否可以在成员的个人资料中展示。此设置以后不能更改。
| Public | 群组成员可以选择将群组展示在他们的个人资料页面。 |
|---|---|
| Private | 该群组不可以被展示在成员的个人资料页面上。 |
如前所述，任何用户都可以通过可见性设置手动屏蔽任何公共群组，使其不显示在个人资料上。
群组横幅
可以通过网站上的选项上传横幅。上传的图片在游戏中并不会完全显示，在打开菜单后，才将显示横幅的更大部分。
群组权限组
查看你的权限组
虽然目前无法在 VRChat 客户端中选择或更改权限组，但你可以打开主菜单，点击“群组”选项卡，然后点击希望查看权限组的群组，即可查看当前你的账户的所有权限组。菜单右上方有一个“齿轮”图标，它会向右展开一个群组设置子菜单。子菜单的最上方可以查看当前拥有的权限组。
默认权限组
群组有三种不同的权限组：管理员、成员和默认权限组。创建群组时，群组会自动创建三种权限组：Everyone（属于默认权限组）、Member（属于成员）和Group Owner（属于管理员）。“Group Owner”和“Member”的权限组名称可以更改，但“Everyone”不能更改或删除。
群组所有者权限不能以任何方式更改或删除，因为默认情况下，群组所有者应始终拥有所有权限。但是，只要双方都订阅了 VRChat+，群组所有者就可以将群组转让给另一个群成员。转让群组前应慎重考虑，因为所有转让都是无法撤销的。请阅读下文以获取有关群组转让的更多信息。
创建权限组
管理员可以随时添加、重命名或删除权限组。每个权限组都可以有一个简介和一组自定义权限。权限组可以被设置为加入时分配、可自行分配或需要 2FA 。可自行分配的权限组是可选的。用户可以登录 VRChat 网站为自己授予权限组。但是，使用设备账户（如 Steam 或 Meta 账户）的用户无法登录并进行此操作，因为在 VRChat 网站登录其账户前需要先创建 VRChat 账户。群组管理员可以为任意用户手动授予权限组。
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Assign On Join | 如果开启，则新成员在加入群组时将被自动分配到这个权限组 |
| Self Assignable | 可由群组管理员自由授予成员。 |
| Require 2FA | 需要成员的账户启用 2FA 后才可授予。 |

Group instances
The owner of a group, and those with the correct permissions may create group instances. There are three types of group instances.
| Group | Only members of a group (or certain roles within the group if specified) can join the instance. |
|---|---|
| Group+ | Any friend of a user in the instance can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance. |
| Group Public | A publicly listed instance hosted by a group to which anyone can join. Group membership is not required to join the instance. |
Group instances are often moderated by the group hosting the instance. The group's owner and those given moderation permissions through their role may warn, mute, kick or ban a user within the instance. Banning a user from a group permanently prevents them from joining any Instances made by the group, as well as joining the group itself.
Group instance queues
Group Instances are also great for managing events with a high amount of people. For that situation, the VRChat Group Queues option will setup a waiting queue to process joining requests when the instance max capacity is reached. When you join the queue for an instance, you will be placed in and will receive a invite request when a slot becomes available. Once the request is received on your side, you have one minute to join the instance before your slot is given to the next person.
Transferring a group
As of March 27, 2024[1], owners of groups could choose to transfer the ownership of a group to another willing group member as long as both parties are subscribed to VRChat+, and have available space. This should be taken under consideration, as all transfers are final.
You can transfer your group ownership to another member of the group; the target member and the group must meet the requirements below.
- The target member has verified their email address (check the Email section via account settings)
- The target member has an active VRC+ subscription
- The target member can still own more groups (each user can own up to 5 groups)
- The group is not monetized
