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

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.
