Calibrating the camera

Calibration measures the relationship between the camera in VRChat and the position of your physical controller.

  1. Show the VRChat camera and press Start under Sync with VRChat Camera.
  2. Wait for the Preparing indicator to disappear.
  3. Hold the camera near its center with one hand and keep it level in selfie orientation.
  4. When the long left-right bar and a dot appear, keep the height and orientation steady. Slowly move left and right once along the dot's path, then return to the center.
  5. At the center, keep the position fixed and smoothly change only the camera's orientation using your wrist, forearm, and elbow.
  6. When the green circle begins to draw, stop moving and remain still while holding the camera with the same hand.
  7. When “Calibration complete” appears, move the camera to the filming position and place it there.

Initial VRChat camera sync setup

Important during calibration
  • Do not switch hands before calibration completes.
  • Do not use the stick to move or turn while holding the camera.
  • Do not grab the camera during “Moving” or “Waiting for stability”; continue only when “Ready” appears.
  • If the prompt returns to the left-right movement step, repeat from the long-bar step.

Recording in portrait orientation​

Changing the camera to portrait orientation in VRChat alone does not change the audio orientation. Set Acoustic Camera Orientation to “Portrait” as well.

If a prompt is unclear or calibration stops progressing, see the status guide.
