In-Game Messaging, Text and Voice
Grim Shadow
I know there are already multiple suggestions for this, but I still wish to see an in-game message system, one that uses text, voice, and/or video. Basically, I wish to see an in game discord. I know the last one sounds complicated, but I think it would be cool. I also wish for this to be cross-world if possible. That way, you could open the chat menu, click on a friend's name (I think this should be friend only chat, so as to prevent spam of course) and type out a text message, maybe make a voice recording, ring 'em up for a voice chat, and maybe make a video call, where they can see a headshot of your model with your local background (for example skyboxes in The Box), and you could talk that way. Having in game group chats would be cool too. I think this would benefit VR Users more than desktop, as desktop users can actually use discord for example, but as far as I am aware, VR Users cannot. Another reason I would like to have this messaging system is in case you wanna talk to someone who's in a private world real quick without interrupting something in that world or dragging them to yours. While video is definitely more complicated, and I would be satisfied without it, I wish for all three of these to be added to VR Chat so that users can more easily converse and talk in entirely different worlds.

It would be awesome if we got a new item like the camera, a phone. But a simple way to send messages would be the best probably.

Instead of keeping merging the already 100th same idea, because people REALLY in need of it, and saying to us: "ve vil not ad tis to de gaim bikous it dozent fit de contsept.", start working on it. And stop adding stuff no one cares about.

I know some people would just say "Just use discord then" but they dont realize that on average most people on your in-game friends list are not on your discord friends list or in any of servers you may be in.

I came here to post more or this exact request.
I realize plenty of people just use Discord anyway; for those of us that don't, this would be an incredibly nice QoL feature.
I don't want any fancy bells or whistles, though. Don't need voice messages or video messages or anything that seems like it would be a hassle to implement / moderate - just a simple text messaging system that works like the invite system except it only sends messages without the invite.
Sometimes you just want to talk to someone or ask if someone's okay when they physically want/need to be alone. The invite system is better than nothing in those moments but the nature of it as an invite is completely inappropriate and pollutes the sentiment (IMHO).

How is this not considered essential with vrchat coming to mobile now? Heck how does Vrc have worse basic player to player communication systems than scam games that get made in a weekend.

Private Messages & Mobile/Web App
Shayes
Private messages makes communication with players who aren't in your instance much easier and is commonly found in most online games, particularly social games.
Accompanying such a feature, a mobile app which supports private messages and allows you to view/manage your friends list would be wonderful. This app could also integrate group support, so that you can be notified when a group announcement is made or an event is happening. Preferably, such an app would be based on web technologies to be cross-platform and accessible via mobile apps or any browser.
