Set up Environment

Before starting to convert avatars, you need to set up your environment.

Install Android Build Support​

VRChat supports two kinds of platform, PC and Android (Quest, PICO, Smartphone). To create avatars and worlds for Android, you need to install Android Build Support module for Unity. When you install Unity with VRChat Creator Companion (VCC), usually Android Build Support is also installed.

info

The most difference between PC and Quest is the platform (operating system) rather than performance. Even if your avatar has excellent performance rank and low polygons count on PC, it is not compatible for Android unless you upload it for Android platform.

warning

If Android Build Support is not installed, you will see Android Player is Disabled error message when you try to switch platform and you can't build for Android.

Check Android Build Support​

  1. Select File > Build Settings from the menu bar.
  2. Select Android from the platform list and check the content.
