Assigning full-body avatars

By default, stand-alone VR headsets, Android phones and tablets, iPhones, and iPads display only the first five users that join a Session as full-body avatars. All other users appear as basic avatars. For more information, see Full-body and basic avatars.

On Windows, PC VR, and macOS devices, all users appear as full-body avatars, unless you turn on the No full-body Avatars session setting. For more information, see Setting permissions for all users.

On the Host Controls page, the avatar icon indicates whether a user appears as a full-body avatar () or a basic avatar() on stand-alone VR headsets, Android phones and tablets, iPhones, and iPads.

• Select the icon to toggle between a full-body avatar () or a basic avatar() .
• Use the the No full-body Avatars session setting to change all users to basic avatars on all devices.

A host can assign more than five full-body avatars in a Session. However, users on lower-specification devices, such as phone and tablets, may experience performance issues. We recommend that you have a maximum of five full-body avatars in a Session unless you know that all participants will use high-specification devices.
