By default, the Avatar shown are the ones imported from readyplayer.me. However, you can also find your own Avatars in the All My Media tab, the ones shared in the Space in the From This Space tab, and the list of used Avatars the From this Experience tab.Once you clicked on the Avatar, the character will take place in your scene.
