Meta's collaboration with Ray-Ban brings us stylish smart glasses that do more than just look good. These smart glasses have some really cool capabilities, such as navigating hands-free while driving and integrating with Metaverse apps like Instagram and Facebook. While they arrive ready to use, there's a quick setup process to get the most from your new tech-enhanced eyewear.
These glasses work through the Meta View app, which acts as your control center for everything from voice commands to live streaming. I've found the setup process straightforward, though there are a few key steps you won't want to miss. The app lets you customize settings, configure voice controls, and manage all your smart features from your phone.
Plus, with regular updates adding new capabilities, taking time to set up properly means you'll be ready for whatever features Meta adds next. Let's walk through the process of how to set them up for use.
1. Prepare your glasses

Remove the plastic tab between case and glasses, then take them out. You'll find the power switch on the left frame — slide it forward to turn them on.
2. Enable pairing mode

Place the glasses back in their case. Watch for the flashing LED, indicating they're ready to pair. If needed, hold the case's back button for 5 seconds to manually enter pairing mode.
3. Get the Meta View app
