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

[elijahm.]

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!

[dtupper]

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

[StephenChast]

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

[Parzeval]

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!

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

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

[eugeniamaurajames]

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).

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 <3 vr, but don't like having a this big of a blimming brick (pico 3) on my face so much!😆

ty 4 ur time and effort making these guides and ur showcases! ur rly doing a lot 2 help newbies like me!

[Wolfs_Den_D]

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!

[RyanRSTLSS]

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)

[rrquill]

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

[werdo_man]

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

[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!

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

[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

[noluck]

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

[DaWeebz]

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!

[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
