brand new meta glasses user needs help

Hi,
There are many excellent tutorials online, or simply go to the Rayban Page for your area.
This link is for Australia:
https://www.ray-ban.com/australia/c/frequently-asked-questions-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses
It has step by step instructions for downloading the Meta AI App and pairing your new glasses.
Hope you enjoy them,

I must admit when I got my glasses I never looked at any guides. I installed what is now called the Meta AI app and went to add my glasses in that way. It took me through what was a pretty accessible setup guide which helped me pair the glasses and setup the different options, and it told me how to use them.

This was a good while ago now so the app may have changed a little, but I vaguely remember I only had two issues. Firstly when it asked me to select which classes I had, there are options for the Stories and the Wayfinder but they were unlabelled at the time. I seem to remember swiping up and down on the unlabelled images told me what they were. Hopefully this has been fixed by now.

I also had a little trouble finding where the camera button was. It is on the right arm (if you are waring them) and right at the end where the lenses are.

Otherwise it was not too hard. It takes a while because it guides you through everything. So just make sure you have some time to spare.

Not to contradict Mr. Grieves, but I believe the camera is on the left edge of the frames, next to the left arm, and the thing on the right is the LED, which lights up whenever you take pictures and/or record video. It is a means of letting the cited know that you are capturing, which I believe is required by privacy laws.

Yes, there is a small switch on the inside of the left arm, almost right next to the hinge. When it is slid towards the lens, it is powered on, and when it is slid away from the lens, it is powered off. You can usually tell by tapping the touch sensor which is located on the outside of the right arm, between the temple and the ear. When it's off, nothing will happen, when it's on, you will hear clicks when tapping on it.

HTH. :-)

The camera button is definitely on the right arm of my glasses. The camera itself may be on the left, and it would make sense for it not to be next to the button to avoid you covering it when you press it.

I don't recall any tabs, but I've had my glasses for nearly a year, so I could just be forgetting.
Regarding pairing your glasses, there should be a button on the case, somewhere near the bottom, near the charging port. You may need visual assistance with this, but essentially what you need to do is hold it down until it pairs with your smart phone. You'll want the Meta AI app open for this, and as mentioned above it may be best to go through the Meta AI app in order to start the pairing process. Either way, you need to hold down that button until it pairs, once it has paired and updated, all should be well.
The reason I mentioned cited assistance, is because there is a light that lights up around the button, like a ring, and I believe it turns blue when it's either pairing, or has fully paired.

HTH.

The button is on the back of the case, near the bottom, very close to the charging port. It is also very, very flush with the case itself, so it might be a little difficult to feel. As I understand it, a sighted person should be able to see it quite easily, however.

HTH.

All those accessibility features are great but I have been using a TWS bluetooth ear bud to enjoy my apple music which I must say is just a mind blowing experience. Has anyone used apple music with these glasses, does it offer the same experience and excitement of listening to apple music on any other earphone? When listening to the music do people around you ask, which song is that?

No Apple Music, but I use Spotify and Audible with my Ray-Bans. They sound great, though I have recently come into an issue where if I am playing Spotify on my fire TV, and then go to open my glasses, the music tends to automatically switch to my Meta's, which can sometimes be frustrating.

Hi, has anyone figgured out how to reroute the speech from the glasses to the phone. I find that it makes my phone sluggish when I'm trying to type.

Unfortunately, that feature is kind of broken in iOS 18. In settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, rotor, rotor items, there is an item called "Audio Destination". Theoretically we are supposed to be able to enable this, and then using the rotor, be able to choose where the audio comes from, E.G. headphones/earbuds, Bluetooth speaker, the phone itself, etc.
As I said, it is broken in iOS 18, so you will just have to wait until they fix this in order to utilize it.

Sorry. 🫤

While not the greatest workaround, you can take the glasses off, and fold the arms, which will temporarily disable its Bluetooth connection, then type and/or dictate your message on your phone, then put the glasses back on which will reestablish its Bluetooth connection automagically. I know it's not the best way to go about things, but it's better than nothing.

HTH. 😑

I am fundamentally against hearing anybody playing their music to the point where I could hear it. I don’t like that these glasses have speakers. People of course can listen to whatever they want. I just don’t wanna be a part of their experience. I don’t make others part of mine.

Whenever I hear anyone playing their music on their phone, a boombox, glasses, whatever speaker, and I’m going to be in. Let’s say a train, bus, flight with them, I asked them to lower the volume or to walk away or to stop playing it. Again, I didn’t consent to hearing What they enjoy. Consent means everything to me. And I don’t consent to listening to somebody’s messages or music or TV show or phone call.
