Watching videos has been a common activity in VRChat for many players, including those who are used to staying in public instances. After discussing with VRChat players around me, we found ourselves confused by the sudden ban on untrusted URLs, even when it is allowed in the setting menu. You may not be aware that video links from video websites like Bilibili (which is the most watched video platform in our country) cannot be directly resolved by the built-in video player, and watching videos there requires manually resolving it with external websites and resulting in an untrusted URL. I understand that custom whitelist and no bans on private instances is a workaround for this problem, however: we don't expect world creators from worldwide to build a comprehensive list of URLs for this purpose, especially when they are not bothered by the ban themselves. we can move to private instances, but public instances are still a very important platform for free communication and in some sense a core experience in this game. For the above reasons, I hope you can reconsider the ban on the untrusted URLs in public instances, for example, rollback the change, or get a more fine-grained option to allow those URLs in all instances. Otherwise, I hope to hear from you about a real solid reason for the ban, being more specific on the vulnerabilities playing those videos may trigger. Removing useful functions should not be the primary option for security reasons. I write this post in hope that getting more discussion on this matter will come up with better solution to it so that more users are satisfied. Thank you for your understanding. (The behavior has been confirmed in game)

VRChat Photography is quite a popular hobby. While mipmap streaming offers significant performance increases, photographers used to dealing with extreme lag of several seconds taking 8K pictures are no stranger to this. Please allow us as the end-user to turn off mipmap streaming. We know it'll hurt performance impact, especially in full capacity instances. But we want to take pretty pictures with clean textures to share with our friends and on social media. You can supplement it with a pop-up or in-place warning that it's for intended advanced users and may cause significant performance impact, similar to the vertigo message for horizon adjust. This is a similar, but different request to https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1546-allow-users-to-change-the-mipmap-streaming-budget . Another approach could be to let us set a VRAM limit up to our actual VRAM limit or "unlimited" (with a warning).

Reposting this in OB board to make sure this doesn't get forgotten. There's already multiple requests for the same thing: * https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/images-store-exifiptc-metadata-for-images-taken * https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/adding-world-name-player-in-frame-metadata-to-screenshot * https://feedback.vrchat.com/feature-requests/p/photos-saved-by-virtual-camera-could-contain-some-metadata-with-the-names-of-the With prints already doing this, there's no real reason not to embed the same metadata in locally saved pictures, including high-resolution ones. This would allow this data to also be retained if someone uploads a locally taken picture later as a print.

e.g. adding "*. mydomain.com " would allow for: test1.mydomain.com test2.mydomain.com

Please consider removing the VRC+ Gift Drop button from the Here tab. While it has its place in the VRC+ tab, and I understand the need to draw attention to it to incentivize its use, including it in the Here tab feels a tad excessive.

I feel that it would be possible to create a prettier photo if a signature image or other image could be overlaid on the printed photo to create a composite. It would be preferable to be able to do the signature in real time, but I feel it would be technically easier to overlay an existing image.

Build 1546 changes the "allow untrusted URLs" setting to no longer allow all URLs on public and group public instances, and instead offers world creators the option to whitelist domains for those instance types. A preferred alternate solution would be to instead prompt users with a notification when an untrusted URL is being used, with the options to: Allow this time/this instance Whitelist URL (allow permanently until revoked) Blacklist URL This would provide users with the granularity to avoid malicious URLs without explicitly limiting the content that may be played in public/group public instances.

I noticed that it's not yet possible to manage Prints on the VRChat website. Please make this, and metadata accessible. Thank you!

Allowing users to change the memory budget would allow for several things: better control over the vram that vrchat uses, one use case would be having vrchat open alongside unity. for creators, changing the budget would allow testing worlds with a lower budget, so we could "emulate having less budget", to see how it affects the world and avatars.

The VRC+ logo now ignores theme settings & is always golden. (This wasn't the case before?) Themes are a VRC+ feature so the tab should respect them. If someone is already paying, does it still need to stick out so much?
