In Chill World, it’s common to play music using video players as background music (BGM). One cool thing about VRChat is that YouTube ads don’t show up in this environment. However, there’s a problem. It seems that when videos are played in VRChat, the view count and watch time on YouTube aren’t being tracked. This can be a serious issue for YouTube content creators. Additionally, this might be a grey area that YouTube is currently overlooking, but it could become a bigger issue in the future. Before YouTube takes action, I suggest finding a way to ensure that view counts and watch time are properly recorded. BGMとして動画プレイヤーで音楽を流す手法がチルワールドではよく行われています。VRChat内ではYoutubeの広告は表示されません。これはとてもクールです。 しかし問題があります。VRChatで動画を再生しても、Youtubeの動画視聴回数、および視聴時間はカウントされていないようです。 Youtubeのチャンネル運営者にとってこれは死活問題です。また、Youtube側も今はまだ黙認しているグレーゾーンの問題なのかもしれません。 Youtubeに怒られてしまう前に、動画の視聴回数、視聴時間が正しくカウントされるように調整を行うことを私は提案いたします。

We would like to allow users with a specific group role to enter a group instance, regardless of the maximum number of instances. When holding a group event, we would like the ability to re-enter if a performer or staff member is disconnected from the group instance due to time-out or other reasons. When this function is enabled, the maximum number of instances should be set to 70, and users with a specific group role should be able to enter up to 80 instances, ignoring the maximum number of instances for a maximum of 10 users. User events contribute greatly to VRChat's popularity, and we would like to see them implemented to facilitate the operation of such events. Could this be implemented in a way that the instance owner's admission privileges can be granted as a group role limited to group instances?

It would be highly beneficial to incorporate a checkbox option in the world descriptor during the process of uploading a world. This particular feature holds significant value for world creators who wish to maintain control over public group instances within their creations and avoid any form of external group influence.

Hello, dear vrchat operators, I hope you guys read this article slowly and seriously. I'm one of the users who started this game in 2018 and have been playing it so far. I'm a 33-year-old Korean now, and VRCHAT game was a great consolation game around my 20-year-old days when it was hard and it inspired me a lot. I have praised your efforts to create safety features in the game and I have also enjoyed using VRCHAT+ features for many years. But I haven't been able to enjoy this game since a few weeks ago because of malicious users. Malicious users continue to engage in malicious behavior that uses unauthorized programs to force other users to end their games for no reason. The specific maps that they're currently working on are There are Hwabon Station, Korean tutorials, and Japanese Shrine world. they are using cheat extensively in public rooms. If the cheating ID is blocked by other users, they may use other new IDs to bully users again. I am well aware that your company is constantly paying attention to various user feedback, inconvenience improvement, compatibility issues, etc. while you are running vrchat. But I think you guys understand that there's a big difference between the inconvenience that needs to be improved and not being able to play the game itself. As you know, it is difficult for people in a particular country to communicate with people in other countries because the languages between countries are very different. So, unless all users of this game are geniuses, it's natural that there's a high probability that people who speak the same language will come together to play the game. Because of this, users in certain countries may be well aware that they are focused on a particular world. And if you're playing this game for the first time, naturally into a specific world that speaks the language of one's own country getting used to this game is an inevitable consequence. However, some malicious users are using unauthorized programs to block this influx and prevent existing users from playing the game as well. The more new users you use vrchat+ and vr machines, the better your company will be, and if you allow or leave unauthorized program users in the way, it is only natural that your company's operations will be affected. Also, do you agree with me that from the moment your company creates and distributes partial paid service content to users, and users use their goods to use them, you should be willing to solve problems related to unauthorized programs like this? Currently, some malicious users are hurting even normal game users, and existing users are also suffering I think the game company should be adamant about this if it gets damaged and keeps away from this game. Do you guys agree with this? Thank you for reading my long article, and I hope your company will have a bright future. Please make a clean game so that I can enjoy this game more.

I'm going to get straight to the point on this one. On a platform like VRChat, NSFW stuff is going to happen, no matter what the terms says and no matter what is/isn't allowed. People are going to do this no matter what you do and in fact it already does happen... all the time. I feel the best solution to the problem is some sort of age verification as well as usage of the NSFW tags in the SDK for avatars and worlds. The use of the age verification system would let users set their birth date or just their age and would automatically filter out content with any NSFW tags along with the option to hide birth dates and ages either from everyone or people that aren't friends or both. The report system would be a way to get around issues with this as well as users showing proof with ID so that false reports do not occur. Plus with this system, legally the situations players find themselves in would fall upon the players themselves rather than VRChat, especially if you make a disclaimer specifying this in the terms. As it currently stands, potentially the legal issues fall on VRChat for not enforcing the terms enough to filter out NSFW content and this would resolve the issue entirely. It's only a matter of time before something happens in-game and VRChat gets sued. I'm no lawyer, but it doesn't take one to know stuff like this happens. As for NSFW Content Filters, this would also solve the issue for adults that do not want to see certain NSFW content. Again, making it legally their responsibility rather than VRChat's responsibility. Making use of the check boxes in the SDK would make it much easier for this filter to work. There's honestly no good reason for this to not already be a feature in VRChat beyond lack of time as I know it does take time to implement something like this and some effort on the team's part, but this would solve a lot of potential future issues and I'd rather not see this platform in the same position as the Titanic, thinking everything is going great and then one thing happens and it's all over. Edit: I'd like to also add at this point that most VRChat users, or at least from what I've seen, actually don't care if NSFW stuff is in VRChat. Most people generally have a "keep it in the bedroom" sort of mentality where they're fine with it if it's not in their face. I've in fact seen many NSFW avatars in public worlds as well as NSFW discussions and other content in public worlds and people just don't care because the users, avatars, and worlds stay in VRChat without being reported or anything. There is literally no way around NSFW content and this is the only solution that makes sense: Just allow it and use content filters and age verification.

I would like to make accessories newly as categories such as avatar and world. This is a single object that can be called separately from avatar and picked up etc. You will not need to upload multiple avatars just to change things like Avatar Pens. I thank you for reading it through. ----- (Original text of Japanease) アバターやワールドなどのカテゴリとして新たにアクセサリを作ってもらいたい。これはアバターとは別に呼び出してPickupなどができる単一のオブジェクトです。 アバターペンのようなものを持ち替える為だけに複数のアバターをアップロードする必要はなくなるでしょう。

Instead of making Cloning for everyone, maybe an avatar creator or someone using an avatar can set the avatar for friend cloning only

There is a new beta feature that introduces mipmap streaming. This allows Unity to unload higher resolutions of textures incase you run out of VRAM (or if you exceed the configured budget). This is beneficial, since it allows it to unload textures it doesn't need, similar to how LODs work for meshes. The "priority" feature allows you to override the mipmap level. For example, if you set the priority to "1", it will prioritize those textures and lower others until the budget is met. For Avatars, this is disabled and defaults to "0" to prevent abuse. From the Unity documentation : > Unity removes a mipmap level of a lower-priority texture every time it considers textures at that priority or higher. For example, if you set one texture to a Priority of 1 and another texture to a Priority of 5, Unity might remove four mipmap levels [of a lower-priority texture] before it considers the second texture. Earlier today, I found that someone made a script that not only allows you to automatically enable mipmap streaming on all of your world's textures (good), it also sets their priority to 1 (not good). I hope I don't really need to explain why that's a bad thing. But basically: If the World is set to priority 1, it will bias ALL world textures before it makes adjustments to avatars. As an extreme example: If you have 6 GB of VRAM and the world uses 3 GB, that means you have a 3 GB budget for avatars. If you have 80 avatars at 100 MB each, that means it will drop all those avatars down until it fits into the budget. Given the rule of 1/4 (where each drop in resolution is 1/4 the size of the previous higher res), it means we'd need to drop the avatars down by 1 resolution step from where they are intended to be. Now imagine all of the unoptimized avatars that have 200-500 MB+ of texture memory, not including mesh memory or other VRAM usage. If all of the priorities were set to "0", mipmap streaming would work as intended, regardless of the scenario or context. It would load the higher resolutions if you are closer to an object, and unload further away ones. Please consider disabling priority to be managed by creators for worlds as well, and set the default of all to 0.

In vrchat chat you can upload worlds and and avatars what if you can upload items. for example you can spawn objects inside vrchat that you created in unity using the same mechanics as uploading a world and to allow the use of the vrc triggers in the sdk. by allowing the vrc triggers you would enable people to do amazing things like the go cart prefab being able to spawn in a go cart in any world or having a cool pickups that can teleport players, or make a shooting target that gets hit on particle collision. now i know this would definitely be abused and might cause lag for people. So what if there was an option to disable it locally like everything else is. And for people that make adventure maps and don't want it to be abused make it optional so people wont abuse worlds. vrchat is a great game and i have 2000+ hours on it and the main problem i have and many others is that it gets boring so allowing the community to have more interaction would definitely improve it. I'm very excited to see the the hand colliders that are planed in the future i'm positive that alone will improve vrchat tremendously. this is my idea of a account based inventory that you can use in any world that has it active. If this was a thing i would create a warthog from halo that you can hop in and drive around. what would you make if you could spawn it into the world?

while we can do something "similar" with multiple proximity contacts and copious amount of animator Jank, which isn't very accurate or reliable, and very not user friendly and quite limited in use still, or use the On Enter velocity... which is even more limited in what it can do. I think it would be very convenient to have it integrated into the contact receiver: it would work just like a constant receiver, but the output Float is scaled by the relative velocity between the sender and receiver (instead of the distance like for proximity receivers) you would need need to provide min and max velocities in the receiver script, (just like "On Enter" require a "Min Velocity" value) between which the value is mapped from 0 to 1 and beyond which it is clamped to those limits. optionally having "directionality" fillers to only record velocity only on some axis and choosing between cartesian or polar local coordinates, (velocity contacts filtered to only record on 1 axis could also differentiate between positive and negative motion and output it from -1 to 1) this would bring even more granularity to this idea and unlock it's full potential. an exemple use for this new feature would be to add more "physicality" to dynamic sound effects, like a "hair_rub" sound effect, that would be triggered on proximity, and the playback speed be modulated to the tangential velocity of a sender relative to the contact receiver, and the volume modulated with a mix of both proximity and velocity. and a "head_pat" sound effect that would be triggered On Enter and the volume modulated to the radial velocity this is only one example of a dynamic setup that would make use of Velocity contacts but it's not hard to think of more uses for it for lots of other gimmicks ideas that are currently in technical limbo due to the absences of this feature
