You don't have to have a VR headset or hardware in order to join people in VR chat. I've joined friends using a standard monitor with a keyboard and mouse.

Of course the name doesn't help, but it isn't impossible to join if you don't have one.

I know, that's part of what I try to tell people :-) it does require a somewhat beefy desktop/laptop though, and most folks are used to doing everything on their phones these days

It works on standalone quest hardware as well, but you'll be limited to the worlds you go to, and you will usually end up using people's "fallback" avatar.
