ChatBox Issues​

The ChatBox appears in the preview in the app but not in-game​

Make sure Show Own ChatBox is enabled in VRChat's settings. If that doesn't work check Connection Issues.

My quick menu says I've been timed out for spam​

This is due to your VRChat client lagging and VRChat not taking that into account between when VRCOSC sends ChatBox values. You can increase the Send Interval value in the behaviour settings of the app by 100-200 milliseconds to compensate for this. VRChat has a default minimum of 1500 milliseconds. If it still occurs, keep increasing the value by 100 until the timeout stops.

Module Issues​

Media is refusing to connect to Spotify​

  1. Ensuring you have the Desktop version and not the Windows Store version.
  2. Ensuring that you have Show desktop overlay when using media keys enabled: Spotify Display Settings
