VRCHAT BEGINNERS GUIDE [2024] - Introduction for New Players!

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

so. many. menus.

[@stephy_Minae]

Yeah this game have a lot of menus but when you try and learn them they can be so usefull . I'm a dancer on VR chat dance club and the radial menu help me a lot on my dance .

[@Greybell]

yet not enough advanced options, especially for camera :(

[@casualamber]

@@Greybellsimplify the menus! Not add more!

[@Greybell]

@@casualamber Regardless I need some advanced options for camera. Those options can still be hidden under advanced menu. It doesn't mean it has to be crowded in the menu.

[@MR_DJ_CAT]

Completely right 😂​@@Greybell

[@FireflyLustrous]

I have 3 friends who just got VR this week, what perfect timing lol

[@elijahm.7179]

I didn't even plan on downloading VRChat until I saw this video recommended to me. So rare to see a tutorial on anything that's as informative, engaging, and well put together as this one! Well done, and you've convinced me!

[@TheVirtualRealityShow]

😆 Thanks for giving the vid a shot, hope you have a blast!

[@StephenChast]

That earmuff mode looks like a lifesaver for people like myself with audio-processing issues.

[@stephy_Minae]

Earmufs are useful especially when you go on Rave event with 40 to 70 people on it for me that allow me to hear the music clearly without hearing everyone talk around me

[@dtupper]

I was JUST looking for a updated beginner guide, phia! You're a psychic!

This is so detailed and the effort put into this Video is insane!

[@Goddeh1]

I recently started playing VRChat and it has me hooked already - I'm just a week in! Thanks for the updated guide - will definitely be sharing this with my friends and referring back to it myself!

[@_Zaphyra_]

I don't consider myself as a newbie, but i still love seeing these types of videos. I've put around 200 hours on Vrchat and i'm already at the Known User rank. I was a desktop user for around a month until i got a quest 2, now i only play it on PCVR. Good part of my time in VRC has been joining conversations, playing some games in it, messing around with my avi and helping new people to have an enjoyable time as well. Even though it's not flawless, the community is awesome and i've been having a blast with this game. Also i do understand why people put more than 2k hours in it. UPDATE: I'm considering in getting a fullbody, this game never ceases to amaze me

[@StormsteelVRC]

[@aVRy_]

11:50 pro tip, avatar culling can also be found in the quick menu, close to the bottom of the settings tab.

[@Wolfs_Den_3D]

Always felt like there wasn't really a proper way to explain to people how much VRChat actually is or can be, this is gonna be my response to them from now then. Ty for this!

[@rrquill3655]

i dont think i plan to play vrchat anytime soon, but this is definitely helpful if you’re just beginning!

[@eugeniamaurajames1907]

Thank you! 👏👏👏This is great. I've been using VR chat for a couple of weeks now (adult Questie - not ideal). If it weren't for your videos, I might have given up on it. But now I'm all in, I trust that eventually I'll find cool ppl to talk to, and I look forward to the day when I can afford an awesome set up (FBT included).

[@TheVirtualRealityShow]

[@adhdTrucker]

It is harder as an adult questie, but hopefully groups helped?

I'm sure you've helped thousands of newcomers, I'm glad you update the beginners guides

i'm so glad i found ur channel! i've only had a headset 4 bout a week and watching ur vids alrdy has me feeling p confident bout navigating vrchat and vr n general. i've alrdy ordered a set of slimes after seeing ur video (along w others, but urs intro'd me 2 them) on them, bc i no i'm n 4 the long haul w vr and am gonna aim 4 a beyond soon as i can. bc i

[@RyanR3STL3SS]

Thanks for updating the Guide! I always send this to New Users. I wish you could see other users menus in-game to help them. (by default, obviously want to hide sometimes)

[@pilottheshaker]

I binge watched almost all of your videos and finally got a quest 2 now that it's relatively "cheaper". If you go into Prismic's avatar search, start an invite only instance, get your avatar and then screw around with the settings Phia suggested. My first time on VRchat I didn't play with the settings at all, went into Prismic's avatar search on a decent gaming PC through SteamVR and still, it was too overwhelming. Dip your toe into vrchat on invite only instances and then work on your vr legs. Eagle top avalanche rush world rules!

[@DaWeebz10]

I look forward to your videos! I know nothing from when i played 2 years ago and now which alot of stuff has changed. This video helped out!

[@Artorikus]

Clear and straight to the point. Good job PHIA. It's so fascinating to witness the evolution of VRChat, I started back to December 2017/January 2018. SO many memories.

[@noluck7892]

Me getting vrchat 2 days ago.... YES!!! THANK YOU

[@skarpantre]

Thank you :D I just started playing today and it was confusing but fun, I randomly found a Tesco server and Rainy Day bus ride is incredible, then I'm glad I found this video now, exactly what and when I needed!

[@alfie229]

I just got back into the platform after months of school college and other game phases, this’ll probably really help me understand the new mechanics of its ui and stuff, just a shame I have such basic equipment (I’m working with a oculus quest 2, with its default controllers and I’ve got a custom head strap that stops me from getting a concussion after wearing it for more than half an hour)

[@dudewithaname525]

this was so usefull thank you, just got into vr chat and aaaa never found it so hard to talk to other peeps online before

[@StoickTheVast7]

Thanks for all this info! The wife and I just decided to start playing and hopefully recording together! Got our meta 2 and 3 hooked up to our gaming pcs! Thanks again!

[@cursedwither7888]

Planning on playing in a few months, always funny how the algorithm can feed me videos like this right before i need them.

[@AetherAlchemyVT]

its crazy that I watched that VROID tutorial you made to make my original vtube model, but I just bought a VR headset and it's going to make a return in vr chat... it really came full circle

[@aliud9904]

Thank you! These vids were super helpful for myself and now I send them to new users 😎

[@ImaginaryX]

Even though I already know my way round VRChat, this guide was still fun to watch and gave a nice refreshing reminder! 😆💙👍🏻

[@ShiroeZaki]

Thank God for this, got a vr for pc and was confused by a million menus. Holler if you wanna play together!

[@hjm44632]

the last section is very helpful, thanks for including it

As someone trying to figure out how to troll more effectively, this video was an indispensable resource.

I just got a steam deck with vrchat downloaded, this guide was super helpful, thank you!

[@dranziken]

Really appreciate the updated guide. With the drop in price for Quest 2, I think I'll finally get a chance to check out PCVR this year!

[@bella.3083]

5:09 I'm scared of what's censored .-.

[@ibigfire]

It's probably just a privacy thing, if it helps.

[@hlotacen]

I love the fact that since they "blocked" mods, they are slowly adding all of the most used functionality that was added from mods earlier

[@Policepigeon]

Thanks for this guide! Ive been in pcvr for a while, but always felt vrc was a little too cliquey and confusing for me, but know how to try again now!

This is so helpful. VRchat should put this vid in the default home world

[@CenKyne]

Very good update video :D I was thinking of doing an update to Horizon Adjust / Avatar Culling / Earmuff settings since I literally hear the questions asked every day :P

[@jayff0000]

This should be a tutorial when you play for the 1st time. I have 30 hours so I'm not an expert but also not a total beginner - and I still got a bunch of good tips here. Thanks!

[@MadCat7911]

I love watching your videos. I can’t wait to get my laptop back from the shop so I can play VR chat again. I know it’s only desk VR but I love VR chat so much.😊

Someone said I was in this video, and I was just like "huh? how?" Now I see, lol! But great to see you made a new beginner's guide! It's definitely needed with so many new menus to consider.

[@Demonamic777]

I ironically watched your first guide a long time ago as I was prepping myself with having just gotten VR and such. Now that I'm actually getting an Avatar custom made I am here again as I never took a step into VRchat yet, heh.

[@doctro1630]

I had a first generation Oculus Rift and started playing for a bit ages ago. Now I ordered a Quest 3, that is gonna arrive tomorrow. Sadly dont have any friends of mine that do play VRChat. But I will try out meeting some people soon then :D ALOT has changed in VRChat since I last played and im looking forward to hopefully having a fun experience and finding some new friends on the way ^^

This should play on yhe default vrc home load in. Great vid !

[@3ReJuv]

Welcome to VR chat: to start out just open your menu... not that menu... not that menu... wait so dont quick click that button you have to long click it... Love VRChat UI. You probably know but I just learned this... with friends+ portals and above you can hit the little lock button on the spawn portal menu and it will make it so only friends+ or whoever can enter.

[@Xeogin]

Finally, been waiting for a vid like this so I can finally figure out what the whole deal is. Now to watch, I'll update this post afterwards.

[@Xeogin]

Whelp, learned some things about some settings, but the main deal of finding avatars, worlds, and events to get started with is still missing... I've tried looking for avatar worlds and can't really find anything that suits as an identity I can be comfortable in and I've hardly been able to find any worlds that I'd want to spend any time in. Nearly every world seems to be static with nothing to do in them, and "rave clubs" and such aren't my scene. I want to socialize while doing something, just like in RL, not randomly crashing conversations like a crazy person.

[@Tigerosa-tu8od]

Your videos are what really got me into VRChat. I did try making my own Avatars in Vroid and Blender (before realizing I was just better off buying a Dotti lol). I'm not a full-body hottie, VR socialite and self-confessed VR trash (or as I like to call myself, "eWaste" lol

Love Group public worlds allot more than Public. Especially when in something like Terrors of nowhere and that 1 screaming avatar appears, it's so much easier to get rid of them.

[@DaSavage95]

I loved this video. I haven't been using my headset as much as I would like since owning them for about 8 years but this might give me the push to at least have something to do/hangout in when just chilling. Does anyone have any microphone suggestions or is the Quest 2 mic good enough?
