Your new Meta smart glasses aren't just eyewear — they're a great tool for sharing your world in real-time. With built-in live streaming capabilities for both Facebook and Instagram, they transform your point of view into an instant broadcast, all without reaching for your phone.
Live streaming is one of the standout features you'll want to try first, whether you're sharing an outdoor adventure, streaming a live event, or giving followers a first-person view of your daily life.
Before you begin, make sure your glasses are paired with the Meta View app and your social accounts are connected. Here's how to start live stream hands-free using your Meta smart glasses.
1. Get your glasses ready
Before starting your live stream, ensure your Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are powered on and properly connected to the Meta View app on your phone.
You'll also want to check that both your Facebook and Instagram apps are updated to their latest versions to avoid any connection issues.
2. Access the live stream feature
Open either Facebook or Instagram on your phone and tap the + icon to create new content. Select Live from the options presented, then tap Video followed by Next to begin setting up your stream.
3. Connect your smart glasses
Look for the glasses icon on the left and tap it to establish a connection with your Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Once connected, double-press the capture button on your glasses to switch to the glasses camera view.
4. Start your broadcast
With everything set up, tap Go Live to begin broadcasting to your followers. Remember that you can switch between your phone camera and glasses camera at any time during the live stream by double-pressing the capture button on your glasses.
5. Optimize your stream quality
To ensure the best possible stream quality, keep your phone close to you and in front of you, preferably in a front pocket. Connect to 5G Wi-Fi if you have a strong signal, or switch to mobile data if Wi-Fi is weak.
For optimal performance, disconnect other Bluetooth devices and avoid streaming music during your broadcast.
