Charging your glasses
To charge your glasses, put them in the charging case and place it on the nose bridge inside the charging case*. This is the only way to charge the glasses. You'll know your glasses are charging when the case LED blinks after you've docked them and closed the case. You can also see a charging icon in the Meta View app.
*The first time you charge your glasses you need to remove the protective plastic tab from the metal charging connections on the case.
Charging your case
To charge your charging case, connect the case to a power adapter using a USB-C cable and plug it into the front of the charging case. This is the only way to charge the case. If you're having issues with charging the charging case, please see the Troubleshooting section. (Cell C6)
Charging safety
For safety information on charging your Ray-Ban Meta Collections please refer to the Warranty and Safety Guide.
You can fully charge the glasses in approximately 75 minutes in the charging case. You can quickly charge the glasses to 50% in 22 minutes in the charging case.
There are two ways to check the charge level of your glasses and case:
1. Use the case LED
Your charging case has an LED indicator on the front of the case, which shows charge status of the case or glasses. When you open the case without your glasses inside, the LED will show the charge level of your case. Green means that your case has over 80% charge and orange means you have less than 80% charge. If you see red blinking, this means your case is out of battery. When you open the case and your glasses are charging inside, the LED will show the charge level of your glasses. Red means the case is out of battery or your glasses are not charging, green means that your glasses are fully charged, and pulsing orange means your glasses are charging. If your case is plugged in, the LED will remain on. If your case is not plugged in, the LED indicator will show charge level for 8 seconds.
2. Use the Meta View app
When your glasses are connected to the app, you’ll be able to see the charge status on the main screen at the top left. You can also see the charging status within Settings. To see the case charging level within the app, dock your glasses in the charging case.
Up to four hours with a single charge and up to 36 hours with a fully charged case. A fully charged case has up to 32 hours of charge. The number of hours varies according to how you’re using the features.
The camera automatically adjusts to your environment for consistently high quality photo and video captures.
The one on the left is not a camera, it is the capture LED. The capture LED is an external facing LED that signals to others when you're taking a photo or video.
If you have additional privacy or data questions, please visit the Meta View Help Center.

You can ask Meta AI questions about what you're looking at by saying "Hey Meta..." and then asking for more information about what you’re looking at. You can say "Hey Meta, look and..." to ask Meta AI to take a photo to use in its response.
You can also take a photo, either using your voice or by using the capture button, and within a few seconds say “Hey Meta…” to ask a question about the photo.
You could ask Meta AI for the English translation of a sign you’re looking at in Italian, for the name of a houseplant you’re looking at, or to write a funny caption for the photo you just took of a dog chasing its own tail. There are lots of things Meta AI can do, and we’re working on expanding that list over time.
How does it work?
When you ask Meta AI questions about what you’re looking at, your glasses will send a photo to Meta’s cloud to be processed with AI. After processing, Meta AI will deliver an audio response on your glasses, and you will be able to review your request, the image, and the response in Meta AI.
All photos processed with AI are stored and used to improve Meta products, and will be used to train Meta’s AI with help from trained reviewers. Processing with AI includes the contents of your photos, like objects and text. This information will be collected, used, and retained in accordance with Meta’s Privacy Policy.

- Ask about the world around you -
"Hey Meta, describe what I'm seeing."
"Hey Meta, tell me about this monument."
"Hey Meta, translate this text into English."
"Hey Meta, summarize this."
- Take actions on text around you -
You can point at text and say things like:
“Hey Meta, call this phone number.”
“Hey Meta, message this phone number.”
“Hey Meta, scan this QR code.”
- Get gardening tips -
"Hey Meta, how much water do these flowers need?"
- Express yourself -
"Hey Meta, describe this landscape in an inspiring way."
"Hey Meta, write a funny poem about this dog."
Keep in mind, you can also take a picture, either by voice or by using the capture button, and within a few seconds say "Hey Meta…" to ask questions about the world around you.
*Ask Meta AI about what you see is currently available in English in the US and Canada.

Spotify Tap only works with users on Android OS 6.0 or higher and July 2023 security patch. Spotify app must be downloaded and logged in on your device. Please ensure your apps and system are updated to the most current version.
For Android troubleshooting:
1. Make sure that your app is open (or in the background) and logged in during your Spotify Tap session.
2. Confirm the Spotify app has "Permissions" set to "Nearby Devices" in Android Settings (Android 12 and above)
3. Confirm the Spotify app Battery setting in Android settings is set to "Unrestricted" and retry
If you continue to have issues on Android or iOS, double-check your Gesture settings in Your Glasses > Gestures > Touchpad and make sure you have Spotify tap configured to a Gesture.

Wet hair, helmets, hats, and other head accessories can occassionally be false-registering as taps on capacitive touch. If you commonly use your glasses in these situations, consider re-mapping the Tap & Hold gesture to 'none'. You can do this by going to Settings > Your Glasses > Gestures > Captouch. This will prevent your glasses from triggering new actions like Assistant Wake or Spotify Tap. If you hardclose media apps on your phone, single tap will no longer pause/play any media sessions.
You can cancel or exit any assistance function or inbound notification by doing a Tap & Hold gesture on the captouch sensor.
Video capture is a power heavy use case and for a small battery with less than 15% charge there is a significant brownout risk (voltage drop that could damage the battery). In order to protect the battery (from brownout) and make sure the users are able to record at least 60 second videos, Supernova enforces certain minimum power thresholds. if the minimum power threshold is not met, then the users are blocked from recording videos. At room temperatures the threshold is 10% at 25°C and 15% at 20°C battery temperatures, however at lower temperatures the battery has higer brownout risk and thresholds are much higher.

There are a few reasons why you may be receiving a charging error:
- Liquid detected: Liquid is interfering with the charging interface between the nose bridge of your glasses and the charging case. Wipe the charging contacts clean on both devices and try again.
- High temperature: The charging case has reached a temperature that is too high to charge your glasses. Move your case into a cooler location.
- Incompatible charger: Case cannot charge due to the charging cord or power adapter being used. Try using a different cable or power adapter.
Your glasses may not be powering on due to not being able to charge when docked. Dried sweat, dirt, and liquid can all cause interference between the nose bridge of your glasses and the charging case. Thoroughly clean both devices, then try to charge again.
