# Avatars

## When can i upload my own Avatar?

You need a VRChat account and at least the "New User" rank. This rank is part of the automated[ "Trust and Safety System"](https://medium.com/@vrchat/vrchat-safety-and-trust-system-4073f05ab602). For further information check the GUIDES -> Particle tab on the left. There is **no way to bypass the system** and the only way to gain trust is by actively playing the game. Once you reach the rank, you will get a notification ingame telling you that you can now upload your own avatars.

## I uploaded my Avatar but it does not show up in the Game, how do i fix this? <a href="#i-uploaded-my-avatar-but-it-does-not-show-up-in-the-game-how-do-i-fix-this" id="i-uploaded-my-avatar-but-it-does-not-show-up-in-the-game-how-do-i-fix-this"></a>

Check if you are using the correct Unity version listed above. You can see your exact Unity version by going to **Help > About Unity...** in Unity itself.

If you are using the correct version (2017.4.15f1) but the avatar still does not show up ingame, try refreshing your avatar list by clicking the expand button on your personal avatars.

If the unity version was wrong, look in the 'FAQ -> Unity tab' on the left for more information on how to obtain the right Unity version.

Still not working? VRChat might have network issues, at this point it is best to join the discord and look in the server status and announcements channels or ask for help in the avatar channels. *(The Link can be found at the top of the page)*
