Hello from the MEs team.
Since our VRM update last December, we have added a lot to MEs. The biggest change is in-world Voice Chat.
You can now talk with people in the same world while you build, explore, or simply spend time together!
🎙 Voice Chat
You can now have a conversation without leaving MEs.
Voices respond to the distance between you and other people
Nameplates show who is speaking
Voice Chat stays connected when MEs is in the background
Voice Chat volume can be adjusted separately from other audio, up to 200%
We have already been using it during our weekly Open Studio sessions—walking through worlds, building things, and talking in the same place without opening a separate Discord call.
🕺 Emotes and a more useful chat
You can now trigger emotes through chat and react with movement to the people around you. Command suggestions now include search and highlighting, so features are easier to find.
The new /here command lets you share your current location in chat, so other people can teleport directly to you.
🧍 VRM 0.x and Spring Bone support
VRM 0.x avatars can now be uploaded and used directly in MEs, without converting them to VRM 1.0. This makes it much easier to bring many older avatars into MEs.
We have also improved the experience of finding, saving, and wearing avatars:
Bookmark avatars you want to return to
Click to Equip: inspect a compatible VRM Patch in-world, then click Equip to wear it immediately
Watch on YouTube Preview Genie avatars from the Catalog in your Profile
Support for both VRM 1.0 and VRM 0.x avatars
Spring Bone support for VRM 0.x and VRM 1.0, bringing natural movement to hair, clothing, and other supported parts
✨ Lighting, movement, and performance
We have updated the lighting, bringing more depth and atmosphere to MEs worlds.
We have also improved multiplayer replication, so moving patches are now synchronized in real time for everyone in the same world.
🏠 See you in MEs
We hold a weekly Open Studio in MEs, where people meet, talk, explore worlds, and make things together.
Whether it has been a while or this is your first visit, come and see what MEs feels like now.

Thank you, as always, to everyone who has been building and spending time with us. We hope to see you in-world.
