Your chatbox, your way
Both apps combine music, lyrics, heart rate, weather, timers, status messages, and VRChat activity into your OSC chatbox. Reorder integrations and save presets to suit what you want to share. Avatar parameter tools and OSC monitoring help you see what is being sent.
Keep your community close
Browse friends, explore avatars and worlds, join Nexus community chat, and manage VRChat groups. Group moderation features depend on your group permissions. Community chat uses age bands.
Availability and access
These pages describe the supplied Nexus feature lists. Some tools require a connected service, device permission, group role, tester access, or a membership tier. Those restrictions are called out on the platform pages.
The desktop app includes membership tools and three perk tiers. Quest speech recognition and its speech service are currently tester-only.
