Disable AFK animation when using steamVR
Malkor
As the tittle says, i think it would be nice if the afk animation only triggered when you are actually not wearing the headset.
If im checking my steamVR im essentially still there and the activation of the animation each time i want to check something there or reset my playspace mover is a bit annoying in my opinion.

It is not VRC but SteamVR that false inform game that headset is off when you open the menu (most likely in hope to trigger pause menu), same as it stops sending hand tracking information to the game (which you can see if you disable AFK), same as Oculus menu don't stop sending button and touch state information and put you to permanent "Free hand" gesture (to avoid incidentally triggering things). VRC can't do much here since it ha no information if head set is really off or not.
I never touched SteamVR on dev side so i don't know if there way to detect menu or disable headset off state on menu, but even so VRC also depends on Unity implementation to SteamVR which may be extra barrier to do so.

I don't know if you've found it already, but there is a toggle to deactivate the afk animation. Its easy to find once you get the hang of the new menu. If you were looking for the animation to just play when you take off the headset that would defiantly have to be on VRchat's side to address.

Lidefer: I meant the latter, I stated it in my initial text.
