Untrusted URLs in VRChat
Untrusted URLs allow worlds to load content from arbitrary external sources. This is a powerful feature that allows worlds to load images, videos, and other content from the internet. However, this also opens up the potential for malicious actors to load content from malicious sources.
VRChat has implemented a security model that allows users to opt-in to loading content from external sources, which is called Untrusted URLs.
How do I enable Untrusted URLs?
Untrusted URLs are disabled by default. Adlily and many worlds may not work with Untrusted URLs disabled, but there are potential security risks with having Untrusted URLs enabled, so it is important to understand the risks before enabling it.
Expand Settings Menu
After opening your Quick Menu Settings View, click the Fullscreen Icon in the top right. This will expand the settings menu to show all available options, including the Comfort & Safety tab.
Comfort & Safety Tab
Once you've opened your settings view, click on the Comfort & Safety tab on the left sidebar. This will show all of the available options for comfort and safety settings.
Enable Untrusted URLs
And finally, click the Allow Untrusted URLs toggle so that it says On. This will allow worlds to load content from external sources. Learn more about the implications of enabling Untrusted URLs in the section below.
You will need to rejoin the world for this change to take effect.
