FAQ

For Visitors

Q Do I need an avatar to visit?

You do not need to have your own 3D avatar. All PC-VRChat venues, Cross-Platform venues and Web Browser Venues come with ready-made avatars.
If you have your own avatar, you are welcome to use it in Vket. However, please note that available avatars may vary among venue worlds.
*Please do not use avatars that are or may be offensive or infringe the rights of third parties.

Q Can I take pictures, videos or stream?

You may freely photograph, film, and stream Virtual Market 2024 Summer as well as upload them to social media; our official hashtag is #vket.
It is also permitted, as a part of the Terms of Exhibition, that the exhibited space's appearance and contents may appear in photographs and videos.
Also, visitors should agree that their avatars/motion/audio can be included in other visitors' photography, video, or live stream.

Q Web browser venue is extremely laggy and slow.

For Space Exhibitions created by using Vket Booth Maker, or exhibitions submitted by web submission pages such as Group Exhibitions, Portal Exhibitions, and Video Exhibitions, the submission progress can be done on non-Windows environments.
However, as checking the final appearance of exhibits requires entering the Preview world in VRChat, we recommend to prepare a Windows environment.

No, you will need a Windows PC to submit your space data.

Q Can I ask exhibitors to display models and other items on collaboration/consignment?

Collaboration/Consignment exhibition is allowed. However, it is prohibited to exhibit the same contents in multiple exhibitor spaces, so please make sure to consign to only one exhibitor.
However, it is not prohibited to use the same 3D models as other exhibitors in areas that are not the main contents of the exhibition, such as using VRoid default models or free avatars as mannequins. If in doubt, please contact us.
Note that a single exhibitor may exhibit the same contents at up to 1 space each in PC world and Quest world.

A "joint booth" is possible in the form of a consignment booth. It is also permitted to have more than one person to create a space.
