# Realigning a user's avatar

When a VR headset user changes between being seated and standing in their physical environment, their avatar can become misaligned. You may notice that either the avatar is in a crouched posture or the avatar's hands are in a high position.

To realign a user's avatar, complete the following steps:

1. Open the menu, select **Host Controls** <img src="/files/bTt7cPfqc3Y5PAHZIalW" alt="" data-size="line">.
2. Identify the user that has a misaligned avatar and select their more icon (three dots).
3. On the **Host Actions** page, select **Recenter User**.

{% hint style="info" %}
A VR headset user can also realign their avatar through their wrist controls. For more information, see [Realigning your avatar in VR](/engage/avatars/realigning-your-avatar-in-vr.md).
{% endhint %}

If this option doesn't fix the avatar's appearance, they may need to change their tracking mode to Seated (Simulated Standing) or adjust their avatar's height to match their physical height. For more information, see [VR tracking modes](/engage/avatars/seated-and-standing-vr-modes.md) and [Setting your height](/engage/avatars/setting-your-height.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/host-controls/realigning-a-users-avatar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
