I'm having trouble getting started with the Horizon Creator Program.  I am 22 years old and based in Mexico City (which, as far as I know, is not a restricted country). My Meta Quest profile shows that my account is in good standing and compliant with the rules.  I am currently studying Electrical Engineering at UNAM (C.U. campus). While I am not yet an established developer, I have experience creating skins and programed maps in other platforms, and my goal is to become a content creator in Meta Horizon Worlds — starting with Meta Horizon Worlds for Desktop, custom clothing and more.  Together with my partner, who is developing sports content and blogs, we plan to create virtual spaces where her community can gather, and integrate digital merchandise to conect with our comunity in Instagram.  Given this background, I would like to understand if there is any limitation or issue with my eligibility, since I believe I should at least have the possibility to access and

I've finally been making progress with NoesisGUI - I can load text from the dataContext object in TypeScript and handle button clicks.But has anyone been able to load an image in response to a button click? The image Source tag does not seem to accept a string value.

I've contacted support and they said i should check out the community forums and post feedback which i already did and they closed my ticket saying these features are not available, even though i was told they are available for everyone in the US. I'm so confused and don't really know whether they are available in the US or not.  I have all the rest of the GenAI features but not the NPC features.  

There is a purchase issue going around when it come to people trying to buy my clothes some people can purchase my clothes with no issues then there are people that are not able to purchase my clothes. Few people have contacted me with this issue not sure how to fix that. 

I noticed recently there was a change to my capacity meter in that it is now showing lower figures than expected. My mesh/vertex count was 135% and now showing as 55%, simulation and animation was 75% and now is 28% - is this a glitch or have we somehow been given more capacity? I haven’t made any major changes to the world that would account for such a drop in ‘usage’ (Witch Woods Hollow) so a little confused! 😵‍💫 anyone experiencing the same?

HOLIDAY STAFFING & SUPPORT As we approach the holiday season, we want to keep you informed about important platform updates.During the US Thanksgiving holiday week (November 24, 2025-November 29, 2025), staffing will be limited so response times may be slower than usual. Our community and support teams will be available, however engineering support will be reduced. What Does This Mean? There will be a pause on deploying new features, updates, or changes to the platform and tools, except in cases of critical needs. How This Affects You: No New Updates: There will be no planned feature releases, bug fixes, or tool updates during the US Thanksgiving holiday week. Critical Issues Will Be Addressed: While engineering support is reduced, teams will be on call to address urgent platform-breaking bugs. Ongoing Support: You can still submit support tickets, bug reports, and feedback, which will be logged for action after the holiday week. DO NOT DM OR TAG META EMPLOYEES & MENTORS Plea

I Generated about 6 items today after having to wait 24+ hours for the system to start working again and I'm already getting the "Cannot generate that" when I put in a prompt. What exactly is the limit? Did it change recently? Also having issues generating in the desktop editor. Picture for example: 

I make astronomy worlds in Horizon Worlds based on data from the European Space Agency's Gaia Mission and offer field trips within these worlds (including starship travel to famous stars like Betelgeuse).Does Meta have any programs to promote the Meta Quest for educational use? I would love to get in touch with Meta staff involved in such programs.I have googled this and seen rather vague references to the Meta for Education program but would like to get in touch with specific staff.

Hello everyone,I'm encountering a frustrating issue while using Persistent Player Variables (PPVs). I have created three Number PPVs (let's call them A, B, and C), but only one of them is successfully loading its value.I am accessing these variables using the standard synchronous method (this.world.persistentStorage.getPlayerVariable(...)).The following line of code, called in my Script 1, consistently generates the warning, and returns the default value (0):const recoilMultiplier = 1 + this.props.multiplierSnap * this.world.persistentStorage.getPlayerVariable(this.player, PersistentVariables_Data.playerPersistentVariables.number.recoilMultiplier);Warning Message:Player persistent variables still initializing... Returning empty stateIn my Script 2 (which runs successfully later in the game cycle), I access the other two variables:const knockbackMultiplier = 1 + this.props.multiplierSnap * this.world.persistentStorage.getPlayerVariable(shooter, PersistentVariables_Data.playerPersistentV

Suddenly, after the last desktop editor update, a strange white circle with a black outline appeared in the center of my 3D model. It was not present when I worked on this world for days and also not in the published version. But yesterday when I visited the world on mobile this circle appeared out of nowhere and I can't seem to find  a way to get rid of it.Maybe someone knows a solution or is experiencing the same?It's visible on mobile, web and in the editor, haven't checked VR yet. Link to world: Avatar Clothing  Below is a screenshot:And it's even there after deleting lights, models, etc. 

Yesterday while building a world, I tried to test the NPC AI Character Generator in the desktop editor. I attempted several times to select that option, but it appeared grayed out/almost unavailable. I tried both the standalone desktop editor and the Link/Meta desktop editor, and had the same issue in both. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, how do I resolve it? I’m trying to add special NPC characters to the world I’m currently building and would really like to get this in for the holiday, so any information or timing guidance would be very helpful

I was working on a design for a pair of avatar shorts.  In the recent update to the avatar Bottoms templates, the template I was using is no longer listed as a bottom.  Can you add it back, please? The template is of some athletic shorts. Please see the attached images and files. Video of missing shorts 

the horizon/npc script API doesnt work in Australia due to legal restrictions. This isnt just limited to AI voices, but all of NPC functionality. Will NPCs ever be available in Australia? Its a very big hindrance to anyone making worlds outside US to go without it. Is there a list somewhere of countries where NPC api will and will not be available or any docs about it? 

Hi everyone. When i try to get Avatar Clothing page, it bring me in a not available page. I'm from Italy. By any chance it isn't available for Italy?

I would love Meta to offer an option and incentive to take monetization income as a credit towards advertising rather than as a payout. I see no reason to accept taxable income to send it straight back to the same account to boost content and place ads.

HiI lost access to bonus tab, but I still can access reward tab as usual, is this a bug?

Hi, I used the app studio tool to create a short instruction board.  I deleted it, re-downloaded the tool and the text showed up but it's not lined up like it looked in the app studio tool.Also what is that brown background behind my image? that background was not there initially.this is a snipit of how it looks in the studio tool and the following show how it looks inside the world editor.when I made this bigger the text did show but it's not in the right place.  Also I increased this to 2048 x 2048 and the documentation does not recommend making it that big.  And like I was saying I'm not sure where that brown background is coming from.Thank you

Hi! I’ve run into an issue with passing an image to Noesis UI — I can’t figure out what format it expects. I tried ImageSource.fromTextureAsset(new Asset(item.iconAssetId)), but it still can’t display the image. Has anyone managed to load images from Horizon into Noesis UI?

I'm using Meta horizon worlds desktop editor for my VR Game World:My main goal: A platform that moves up and down based on the player’s voice loudness. Louder voice = higher platform. Silence = platform stays low. And my other goal: when user uses microphone and sings/talks, the game detects that and it triggers something like e.g platform stops moving. How would I do this with Meta horizon worlds desktop editor right now? Does a Voice input API exist or could I use Custom input APIs? Could I use a NPC as a middleman to detect the user talking and use that to trigger something? THANK YOU!
