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

so. many. menus.

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

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!

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!

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!

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

I've been on vrchat for about a week now. This video really helped to fill in some of the blanks I have trying to learn it on my own. Thanks

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).

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!

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

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

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

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)

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

VRChat beginners guide: Quit while you can

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 ^^

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.

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)

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

I’m exited to plays this I just gotta look up what’s exclusively for different devices

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.

Wow I just really love your content it’s what got me into VR

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

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

Absolutely amazing and well thought out guide phia!

new VRchat player here, this video is super helpful Phia. i'm stoked to try VRchat once my quest pro arrives next week👀 side note, is the camera you used able to greenscreen out the background?

Perfect timing. Played VR Chat in VR for the first time this week, lol.

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

i knew about vr chat since the ugandan knuckles meme, but i had a low end pc and since i bought a new pc this year i think i can now play it without problems

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.

The Virtual Reality Show, nice video keep up the amazing work

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!

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.😊

Love the new look, phia

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!

The Virtual Reality Show, cool video keep up the good content

I'm just impressed at how many comments this video already has when it's been up for less than 10 minutes.

Got a quest two and within 3 minutes I had a Godzilla skin the size of a buildings that breathes fire. 10/10

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

Thank you for this very timely video! I've been thinking about coming back to VRC after a long break.

literally decided i wanted to get into this game yesterday 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.

Perfect timing, I just ordered my index I can’t wait to use it

Ooo i really want to try out vrchat but i bet i wont ever untill like 3 years later. But information like this always interests me

New to this , also. You're so perfect for demonstrating this tech. Thanks for your help.

Tysm ❤for the help i hav a VR now but 1yr ago i wes saying VR is not That good now i love VR tysm for the help❤

You know it’s a great day when Phia uploads

Very thorough and helpful!

before any of you decide to go on this platform please go watch Brandon FM's video's about VRChat I clawed my way out of this Godless place about a year ago and haven't gone back since

Ok, thank you for this. Very helpful.

i cannot flipping wait man!!!!!

Ayy thanks for the guide. I did not know about the earmuff mode. Will definitely check it out!!

The avatar shown in the seconds 00:12 - 00:14 is actually privated atm, the creator is having problems with re uploading and potential asset misuse

This is definitely one to save and share, well done.

But I have a question , Do I need to download it to my computer to be able to play it in VR or do I need to connect it to my computer and install it on the VR?

found your channel recently, great videos. im more interested in the tech of the works like the trackers

This video made me want to go return my quest😂

I loved this video thank you. Can u do a video tutorial to do video with ur avatar with the camera out of the POV? I don’t know if i explain my self (like the video’s start)

I can’t change to anything it says I can’t use avatar due to its performance rating

The timing is great considering that the price has dropped to $200 just about everywhere now. I started about a month ago and I found this useful still :)

I really wanna talk and really experience vr chat, but I’m fairly young compared to most players, so I get nervous of being shunned for my age

One question, how do I stop spinning? When I joined in meta, I would spin in a circle, and couldn’t stop.

It's just interesting the difference between the content of the Western Internet and the content of the Internet from Russia🤔 I hope that in the future there will be a video on this topic with the presentation of content on the topic of VR chat

Ah, I was hoping there might be an update eventually. Thank you very much! I can continue to direct newbies here for such a detailed explanation!

1:40 Mekayla ❤

My model had a circle on the hand that had emotions, the ability to change into moon, and make bigger pufFy sleeves. And hour in, I forgot how to pull that up. I tried to pull it up by pushing all my buttons but it didn’t pull up

What about just moving around in VR chat? My quest controllers don't have batteries right now and i saw that there is locomotion via hand tracking. Can't seem to find any video going over how to use it.

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?

feel like i have to take a 40hr training course to navigate this.... ima just go raw and figure it out wish me luck lol

I've been looking at making content for this

Just got me a quest 2, and i was wondering which would be better over all virtual desktop or a link cable

Life pro hack for getting a boost to trust rank in VRChat: >Find Clyde (I am Clyde) >Get Clyde to gift you VRChat Plus. >Hang out in the passenger seat of Clyde's car in a VRChat racing world while doing hotlaps >If you didn't die in an on-track incident in the previous bullet point, attend a rave and talk with all the people, Clyde can introduce you to some people. Now you're Trusted. ☺️

perfect timing

Instructions unclear, accidentally crashed my whole VRChat world.

Omg been 5 month ive seen a video from you. 🎉🎉🎉

Tysm! I didn’t know what earmuff did lol

I have a question… because i joined vr chat a day ago and every time i play a game everyone has the default skin and they all don’t speak. pls help me with this problem

Can you guys please try these Zenivr trackers I’ve been seeing everywhere the work with standable quest and I wanted to see yall use them

lmao the "2 hour" edition. I've just started my journey

I downloaded vrchat on my notebook and when i moving my screen it moves a bit for bit and i dont find the button Confort turning

I love her videos even tho I'm already a trusted still watching this video lmao

If I want to just explore the environment, will I still be able to see my own avatar running around?

Yup, perfectly timed upload for me

Thanks Phil, you rock!

Hey there! Nice update video. Just bought Meta Quest 3 VR for our daughter. How hard is it to sideload a 3rd party (they say 'Quest compatible') custom avatar, if she is a VRChat novice and after becoming a trusted member eventually? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏼✨

How to open the menus? I can't figure that out and can't get into a specific group.

Hiii so I recently started playing VR chat on oculus and the biggest problem I have is MY. MIC. WONT. TURN. ON. I’ve checked and researched, everything is fine and working my oculus is working fine but it won’t work, no one can hear me. Believe me it’s NOT muted I switched it to always on but when I speak into it still no one can hear me. Any advice?
