To choose an avatar, click on the Avatar menu on the main window menu bar: The menu contains a list of all the avatars available to you. Select the name of the avatar you want to use. A checkmark will then appear next to the avatar that you have selected. Different avatars have different heights, so you might notice your view adjusting slightly up and down as you switch between avatars.

When you visit a world for the first time, you will always be given the default avatar, which is the first avatar on the menu. If you pick a different avatar your choice will be remembered, and used again the next time you visit that world. Note that each world may have a different set of avatars available.

If you are a Public Speaker in a particular world, the avatar menu will always list five additional special avatars.
