How to join Meta's Early Access program for AI glasses
Early Access is Meta's opt-in program for trying new glasses features before they reach everyone. Joining takes a few taps in the Meta AI app, under your glasses' settings. Meta says the program is currently available in the US and Canada. Several features on this site need it, including conversation focus, autocapture and Display's hologram video calls. Expect features that change, arrive in English first, or work on only some models; that is the point of the program.

Tips
- Autocapture in Early Access works on Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Oakley Meta Vanguard and HSTN, not on Gen 1 or Display, per Meta. See autocapture.
- Conversation focus is free in Early Access, but Meta says it may require a paid subscription later.
- If you have more than one pair, swipe to the right glasses before opening their settings.
