![Tag-3 by Bryan Ye](/files/j6wjgNDKo8tOmzEpRyox)

We're so glad you're here to explore the Metaverse with MONA. This guide will help you enter into & explore MONA Spaces with friends.

## Enter a Space

**You can enter hundreds of MONA spaces** directly from the [Mona website](https://www.monaverse.com) through your desktop **web browser** using **Chrome**, **Brave**, or **Firefox** on PC or Mac. *Safari and Mobile are not yet supported.* 

Each space will start as a Multiplayer experience.

Spaces can host 25 users per instance before creating a new Instance of the space. That said, there is no limit to how many instances there can be.

### **Create your own Hangout**

To create a *private* hangout link, select the **Hangout** button in the UI at the bottom.

## &#x20;Create an Avatar

When you enter a MONA Space, you will be assigned a default Robot. Unless you have created a MONA account, you will be named as a 'Guest #' until you sign in.

**To Customize your Avatar**, click the Avatar Button or press 4 on your Keyboard. This will allow you to easily create an avatar with ReadyPlayerMe, or using fully custom [VRM avatars](/create/creating-avatars.md).

*Note: You you will need an account to save your Avatar when you return to* MON&#x41;*.*

### Name Your Avatar (Create an Account)

If you want to add a name to your Avatar, you will need to **create an Account**. Your Wallet is your account in Mona.&#x20;

To create an account, you will need a crypto wallet, like Metamask or Wallet Connect. If you have a wallet, it's easy to create an account - just click "Login" on [Monaverse.com](https://www.monaverse.com) to start the process.&#x20;

*Note: Whatever name you use when setting up your account, this will appear as your Avatar name.*&#x20;

If you don't have a crypto wallet, learn how to do so at [Setting up a wallet](/collect/setting-up-a-wallet.md)*.*&#x20;

## Chat in Spaces

You can use your microphone to chat using the Spatial Audio in a Space. Use the **'Speak'** button to use your default microphone in the Space. For more information on this go to [Audio Settings](/explore/audio-settings.md).
