How to set up Be My Eyes on Meta glasses
Be My Eyes connects people who are blind or have low vision with sighted volunteers by video. On Meta glasses, the call uses the glasses' camera, so the volunteer sees what you see while your hands stay free. Setup takes two apps: install Be My Eyes, sign in as someone needing visual assistance, then connect it from your glasses' settings in the Meta AI app. Meta says the call-a-volunteer feature is in English, in supported countries, on all AI glasses.

Tips
- On iPhone, set call audio routing to automatic in the Accessibility section of the Settings app, as Meta instructs.
- Start a call with "Hey Meta, Be My Eyes". End it with a double-tap on the touchpad on the right arm, or from the Be My Eyes app.
- Ray-Ban Meta Audio has no camera, so it can't share your view. Pick a camera model for this. See glasses for low vision.
