Hi all! I'm in the Start competition with Cover, a small mixed-reality desk game. A little creature sits on your desk next to a lantern, and a keeper wakes up when it gets too bright, so you shade the creature with your real hand. In level 2 you use a real mug or a book instead.Honest problem: I don't own a Quest, so it has only ever run in the emulator. I have no idea yet how it feels on real hands.It's plain WebXR, so it opens straight in the Quest Browser, nothing to install: https://chainwright.github.io/cover-desk/?test=1If you've only got five minutes, three answers would already help a lot:Does it run smoothly? When your hand is over the glowing spot, does the keeper stay asleep? Roughly how long until your first win?If you have ten minutes, the step list is here, with a "Download log" button at the end: https://github.com/chainwright/cover-desk/blob/main/TESTER_10MIN.mdNo photos or video of your room needed. A reply here is perfect. And I'm glad to return the favour: send me yo

Hi all! I'm building Spellwright for the Start Developer Competition (Gaming track): a seated, hands-only spell game in WebXR (IWSDK).You say a spell in your own words, like "three ice spears that split", and the game builds that spell live: element, shape, count and speed all follow your words. If you'd rather not speak, look at a quick-spell tile and pinch. Creatures react to what hits them, combos stack (wet + lightning = Electrified), and drawing a sign in the air while the spell forms makes it stronger.Link: https://spellwright-eight.vercel.app (open in the Quest Browser, tap "Enter VR". There's also "Play in your room" for passthrough.)It has only been tested in the IWSDK emulator so far, so I'd love a quick check on a real Quest:Do hands track, and does the pinch feel reliable? Is it smooth, without stutter (especially when spells hit)? Does the microphone prompt appear, and does a spoken spell work? In "Play in your room", does your room show through with the creature on your f

Pinch Puzzle is my entry for the Start Developer Competition (Gaming): a calm, seated puzzle you play with nothing but your hands.Pinch a shape, carry it to its glowing ring, let go. It snaps in with a note. Six boards, from 3 pieces to 8, about 10 minutes end to end. A see-through ghost hand teaches the pinch in the first few seconds, so there is nothing to read.Built for comfort and access:- Hands only, one hand is always enough- Seated, everything within easy reach- No timers, no fail states- Shape plus colour on every piece, never colour alone- Comfort panel: table height and distance, high contrast, musicPlay it now, no install: Pinch-PuzzleOpen in the Quest Browser, press Enter XR, set the controllers down.It is fully playable in the IWSDK emulator, and I am collecting first impressions from real headsets this week. If you try it, one line on how the pinch felt and whether it ran smoothly would mean a lot. Happy to return the favour on your project. 

Hi, I'm developing an app from Unity targeting Meta Quest headsets. I need to record the sound from the nearby however I can't figure out how to. I read the docs from the Voice SDK but it seems like it always sends the recordings to Wit.ai, which is not what I want. How would I go about simply reading sound data from the device, no transcription or anything?

My Instagram account @venkat_16z was disabled, but I didn't violate any of the community guidelines . I use Instagram normally to connect with friends and people that i meet. I didn't do anything like a bot would do, and I didn't hack into my account or my account wasn't hacked into. I want you to look into my issue and take appropriate action immediately and help me recover my account. This is the 7th I am contacting your service and haven't even received any response from your side. Very disappointed by your service despite being an Instagram user for more than 8 years. I request a speedy action by reconsidering your decision and help me recover that account as soon as possible without giving any excuses.

I got the Gamepad Mode emulation option in my quest. But I want to be able to support it in my app that I’m building. I can’t find any documentation on the developers site for how to support this gamepad mode.

Hello Meta team,Our Business Verification has been "In review" since November 3, 2026 (6+ business days), well beyond the 2 business days indicated, and it is blocking our WhatsApp Business Platform setup.- Business portfolio: Lesmar (ID [deleted]))- Legal name: Lesmar SpA (Chile)- Address: [deleted])- Website: [deleted])- Documents submitted in Security Center: certificate of good standing from the Santiago Commerce Registry (legal name) and SII tax registration e-RUT (legal name and address).

Hello Meta Support Team,I urgently need assistance regarding my WhatsApp Channel, which was disabled on November 8, 2026.My channel had built a genuine community of approximately 93,000 followers. I used it primarily to publish job updates, educational information, and promotional posts for my audience.My channel was suddenly disabled, and I immediately submitted a request for review through the available WhatsApp support process. However, the review status now shows that the review has been completed, and my channel remains disabled.The biggest issue is that I no longer have any option to submit another appeal or request another review.I have already contacted WhatsApp Support multiple times, explained my situation, and provided screenshots and supporting evidence through the support conversation and email. Unfortunately, I have not received a clear explanation or a resolution.I respectfully request the Meta team to: Manually investigate my WhatsApp Channel and the reason for its disa

Hi. I got a late start in applying for the VR Start program in order to participate in the current competition. I’m finding that I can’t access the Developer Lounge: I get “Access Forbidden” when I try. Same for Growth Insights, Events & Competitions, and Start Announcements.  

Hi Start team,I applied to Meta Horizon Start on October 18, 2026, but I still cannot access the Start Developer Lounge or confirm my membership status.Developer Support closed my support request and directed me to ask here. Could a community manager help confirm whether my application is still under review, or help resolve Lounge access if it has already been approved?I already have a support case and can provide its reference privately. I would appreciate help coordinating the existing case rather than opening a duplicate.Thank you!

Hi there! I received a confirmation mail as a Start program member but can’t access the forums. I read I should ask you ​@htaylor for help, could you please help me become active for this 2026 start competition?

Hi there,We are developing an application using the Spatial SDK and we haven't found any documentation about creating / saving / restoring anchors. Is this feature not available in this SDK ? Thanks & cheers 

I am requesting help with an access issue affecting my existing Meta AI account, which previously worked on both the website and the iPhone app.On November 10, 2026, the following happened: The Meta AI website on my computer began displaying a message that the service was unavailable in my region. Some time later, the Meta AI iPhone app automatically signed me out. After signing back into the same account, the app took me directly to the “Select Glasses” screen. There is no “Skip” or “Set up later” option, so I cannot reach the AI assistant or the in-app support menu. I do not own Meta smart glasses. I use Meta AI as a standalone AI assistant.I also tested a different account on the same iPhone, and that account could access the assistant without being required to select glasses. The original account remains affected.Could you please review this issue and clarify: Is the affected account subject to a regional availability restriction, or is there an account eligibility or login i

Hello,I am locked out of Meta for Developers. When I go to developers.facebook.com and click My Apps, I am redirected to developers.facebook.com/account_status/error/ with “You cannot access this service.” No numeric error code, only that message.Business Support Home shows “No account or asset issues” for the last 30 days and “No support cases.” Meta’s support assistant confirmed no active policy violations, community standards enforcements, or content restrictions on my personal profile (Antonio Magana) or my “SyncPartner Mexico” business portfolio. My ad account is restricted only for a missing payment method, which Meta confirmed typically wouldn’t block developer portal access.The disputes page at developers.facebook.com/account_status/disputes/ is inaccessible to me, so I cannot submit an appeal there. Business Support Home’s AI assistant said it escalated to the Developer Platform team, but direct human support is unavailable through that channel and no case number was given.Cou

Hello,I'm building a mixed reality app with Meta Spatial SDK 0.15.0 (Kotlin) In Unity, Unreal and native OpenXR, apps can create, save and load their own spatial anchors by UUID. In Spatial SDK 0.15.0 I could only find discovery of existing spaces (Scene.discoverSpaces, getAnchorPose). The Anchor class has a Storable component type, but there seems to be no API to create, save or erase an app-defined anchor. MRUK reads the system scene model but doesn't persist custom anchors either.My questions:1. Is support for creating, saving and loading custom spatial anchors planned for Spatial SDK? If so, is there an expected timeframe?2. Until then, what is the recommended approach? Is it supported to call the OpenXR spatial entity extensions (XR_FB_spatial_entity, XR_META_spatial_entity_persistence) via JNI from inside a Spatial SDK app?3. Will spatial anchors, MRUK scene data and MRUK QR code tracking be available on Meta VR Glasses? Thank you for the answers.Best regards,Tamas

Hi all! I built Glowbench for the Meta VR Start Developer Competition, a hands only electronics workbench in WebXR.You pinch parts onto a breadboard, snap code blocks together with your fingers, and a tutor reads your circuit when something goes wrong.It has only been tested in the emulator so far, so I would love a quick check on a real Quest.Link: glowbench.vercel.app(open in the Quest browser, tap “Enter XR”). It takes about 5 minutes with Lesson 1.Mainly checking:1. Do hands track, and does pinching parts feel reliable?2. Is it smooth, without stutter?3. Is anything confusing in the first few minutes?Demo video: https://youtu.be/qSy8F3I6a9UThanks!

I have an account but I don't know its email address or number, I only know its name. Can I somehow find its email so i could log in?

Hi everyone! I'm [deleted]. My background is in manufacturing, CNC machining specifically, and CAD is part of my everyday work: every part we cut starts as a model. When I got into VR, I noticed there's almost no real CAD on it. There are great sketching and sculpting tools and some model viewers, but nothing where you can design a dimensioned, editable part and send it to be made. So I started building one.SpaceSuit CAD is my entry for the Start Developer Competition (Productivity track). It's parametric 3D CAD that runs standalone on Quest 3, with a PC version in the works. You sketch with real dimensions, extrude and cut solid parts, and every step stays editable in a feature history. It all happens in passthrough, so you can design a part at real size next to the thing it has to fit.46-second clip, recorded on Quest 3 with hand tracking:More parts from the same session:What I'd love you to try (about 10-15 minutes, seated; controllers work too, but I'm especially after hand-trackin

Meta please put Judi Dench voice back. Her voice is like a warm blanket and that was my favorite part of these glasses. I barely put them on anymore since she went away. Very sad. Feel like I lost a friend. She used to read poetry to me. 😞
