    Yep my Meta AI kicked in around 11am central yesterday.  I haven't played much because it's a pain in the rear having to x out all of those windows all the time.

    KungFutse81 I just tested it out.  Yes Meta talks fast but if you go to the Meta AI section in setting, click on activity and there is a log of your conversation.  I just asked a simple question to test but it's there.  Not sure if you can find that activity on the app or not.  I made some suggestions to Meta yesterday through the Meta.AI website and those suggestions were passed on.  I'm compiling it now for the ideas to see if other users would be interested in it.

    I just noticed that the default encode resolution for Quest Link on Quest 3 has been changed to the max resolution (max is 4096). I think it was 3664 like Quest 2 a while ago.

    Quest Link is completely unoptimized and consumes an extraordinary amount of VRAM (it consumes around 2.5GB at 4096. If we use Dash, it consumes another 1GB more, it's like running another 3D game). Above a certain encode resolution, it doesn't make much difference. 4096 is basically meaningless. it just squeezes VRAM.

    Meta should revert it back to 3664. If you aren't going to revert or optimize it, you should add encode resolution setting to the Quest Link app for people.

    Those new advances display settings sound nice. Be nice if they also add option to adjust color saturation or vibrancy globally....to allow us to make the colors "pop" a little more.

    The Meta Quest v69 update is expected to include several new features, such as:

     

    - *Seamless Multitasking*: This experimental feature will allow users to keep any panel in the foreground and take it with them seamlessly into running VR apps ¹.

    - *Spatial Audio for Panels*: The panels may also receive spatial audio, which will make the audio sound like it's coming from their location around the user ¹.

    - *Native Windows Desktop Streaming*: A string indicates that Microsoft is implementing native desktop streaming for Meta Quest on Windows, eliminating the need to install a dedicated streaming app on the PC ¹.

    - *Codec Avatars*: The update will introduce the use of Codec Avatars, which will allow for more realistic avatars in VR ¹.

    - *Volume Buttons as Action Buttons*: The update will also allow users to use the volume buttons as action buttons, which will give users more control over their VR experience ¹.

     

    Please note that these features are still in the experimental stage and may not be available in the final version of the update ¹.

    - *HDMI Link App*: Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth showed off a new HDMI Link app which lets you plug in any device to your headset so you can see that device on larger virtual windows
