Ray-Ban Meta glasses: setup & the parts that matter.
AI glasses sound gimmicky until the right features click. Here is how to set up Ray-Ban Meta glasses and the handful of daily uses that make them worth wearing.
01Get set up
- Pair the glasses with the Meta AI / companion app on your phone and sign in.
- Enable "Hey Meta" voice activation and grant camera, mic, and notification permissions.
- If you have the Display model and Neural Band, pair the band and run the gesture calibration.
- Connect messaging and music apps so you can use them hands-free.
The features that earn it
Look-and-ask vision ("what am I looking at?"), hands-free messages and calls, capture without your phone, music control, and on the Display, glanceable info — directions, messages, captions — in your field of view.
02Just say "Hey Meta"
Start with "Hey Meta," then you can interrupt and follow up without repeating the wake word — a real back-and-forth. That conversational flow, plus the camera already pointed where you look, is what makes the assistant feel different on glasses than on a phone.
You are wearing a camera and microphone. Learn the capture indicator, be considerate of people around you, and review what is recorded and synced — covered in the privacy lesson.
