What is the Users Menu?

The Users Menu shows everyone in the world with you and contains actions students and Moderators can perform. It helps people find each other in the world and update personal and world settings. You can access the Users Menu from the floating button on the right side of your screen. The button will always display the total number of users currently in the world.

The Users Menu contains two tabs: Overview and Current Users.
