Best practices for improving live-stream quality

Live-streams from your glasses will be lower resolution than recorded videos from your glasses or phone. You can improve resolution and video quality by following these best practices:

• Keep your phone close to you and in front of you, or in a front pocket.
• If you have a good 5G Wi-Fi signal, connect your phone to Wi-Fi, otherwise disable Wi-Fi on your phone and seek out a strong mobile phone signal.
• Do not stream music from your phone or interact with other Bluetooth devices (e.g. smart watch) during a live-stream.
• Turn off or disconnect other Bluetooth devices from your phone.

Note: Co-hosting a live video while streaming from glasses is possible; however, some functions may be limited and doing so may affect the quality of your live-stream. When you’ve finished co-hosting, restart your live video for best quality.

Your Ray-Ban Meta glasses can alert you of incoming calls and messages from the following providers: Messenger, WhatsApp and from your iPhone or Android phone. When you connect to a provider, your glasses can announce who’s calling or messaging you and can also read out your messages.

To set up message announcement and readout:

1. From the Meta AI mobile app, tap  in the bottom right.
2. Tap .
   • If you have multiple devices paired with the Meta AI mobile app, swipe left or right to select the device that you want to adjust settings for before tapping .
3. Tap Communication.
4. Tap Your phone, Messenger or WhatsApp, then tap the toggle next to Announce messages or Automatic message readout to turn these features on or off.

Notes:

• If you don’t hear message announcements when the toggle is on, make sure that you’ve provided Bluetooth permission in your phone’s Messenger app settings.
• When vanish mode has been enabled on Messenger, your glasses won’t be able to read your messages out loud.
• You can listen to voice messages after they’re announced by saying “Hey Meta, play the message”.
• You can reply to messages after they’re announced by saying “Hey Meta, reply”. You can also reply to voice messages with a voice message by saying “Hey Meta, reply with a voice message”.

Media that you capture with Ray-Ban Meta glasses must be imported to the Meta AI mobile app before you can view or share it. Your glasses must be connected to the Meta AI mobile app in order to import media.

You can ask Meta AI questions about what you’re looking at by saying “Hey Meta…” and then asking for more information about what you’re looking at. You can say “Hey Meta, look and…” to ask Meta AI to take a photo to use in its response.

You can also take a photo, either by voice or by using the capture button and within a few seconds, say “Hey Meta…” to ask a question about the photo.

You could ask Meta AI for the English translations of a sign you’re looking at in Italian, what’s the name of the houseplant that you’re looking at or to write a funny caption for the photo that you just took of a dog chasing its own tail. There are lots of things Meta AI can do and we’re working on expanding that list over time.

How does it work?

When you ask Meta AI questions about what you’re looking at, your glasses will send a photo to Meta’s cloud to be processed with AI. After processing, Meta AI will deliver an audio response on your glasses, and you will be able to review your request, the image and the response in  History.

How to ask Meta AI about what you see

Here’s just a few examples of what you can do when using your camera with Meta AI.

Ask about the world around you

• “Hey Meta, describe what I’m seeing.”
• “Hey Meta, tell me about this monument.”
• “Hey Meta, translate this text into English.”
• “Hey Meta, summarise this.”

Take actions on text around you

You can point at text and say things such as:

• “Hey Meta, call this phone number.”

Get gardening tips

• “Hey Meta, how much water do these flowers need?”

Express yourself

• “Hey Meta, describe this landscape in an inspiring way.”
• “Hey Meta, write a funny poem about this dog.”

Bear in mind that you can also take a picture, either by voice or by using the capture button, and within a few seconds say “Hey Meta…” to ask questions about the world around you.
