Meta announced Facebook will now support live streaming directly from Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. This new feature lets wearers broadcast live video to Facebook instantly. Users simply say “Hey Meta, go live on Facebook” to start streaming. Their followers see the stream appear immediately in Facebook Live.

The feature aims to make sharing spontaneous moments easier. People can stream hands-free while doing activities. Meta believes this offers a new perspective for live content. Viewers experience events through the wearer’s eyes. The glasses use built-in cameras and microphones.
Meta partnered with Ray-Ban on these smart glasses. The glasses look like regular sunglasses. They come in various styles and lens options. The live streaming update is a free software addition. It requires the latest version of the Meta View app.
Battery life is important during streaming. Meta states the glasses last about 30 minutes when live. The wearer sees a small LED light indicating recording. This light is visible to people nearby. Meta emphasizes respecting others’ privacy is crucial. Users should follow local laws and Facebook’s rules.
Facebook Live streams from the glasses support basic features. Viewers can comment and react in real-time. The streamer hears notifications through the glasses’ speakers. Ending the stream is simple. The wearer just says “Hey Meta, stop live”.
This integration deepens Meta’s push into wearable tech. Smart glasses represent a key hardware focus. Making them work smoothly with Facebook is a priority. Meta sees potential for creators and everyday users. The company wants seamless sharing.
