Audio only mode

These glasses are an incredible way to make music recordings especially in non studio environments where they can capture the ambient sound and the instrument sound in a way that feels especially similar to that of the musicians experience. It would be so good to be able to take long audio recordings that either have no video or the option to limit the quality of the video to allow for less intensive live processing. Though probably just introducing an audio only mode would be the easiest. There are many situations where this would be ideal, not just for musicians, for instance having a way to capture conversations, meetings or school lectures with the convenience of the glasses would be incredible as well.  Is this being worked on? Would love to participate in a trial of this feature

    I don't have AI glasses, but having a Voice Recorder app makes perfect sense. Mobile phones have them. I'm surprised that the AI glasses don't.

    For suggesting new features, however, I doubt any posts in the community forum will gain traction with Meta engineering team. Is there a feedback tool in the glasses or phone app, like there is for VR headsets? If so, use it.

    Edit: there's a developer community on github for Meta AI glasses, but the feedback threads there seem to be basically about the developer SDK rather than for suggesting new features.

    Surely that's possible. Just make sure you have connected the glasses as communication device. Use any voice recording app on your phone and it will record using the microphones from the glasses. 

    And yes just at like Steve said you can shake the phone (while using the Meta AI App) to report an issue.

    Alternatively you can simply tell Meta AI your suggestion and ask to submit that as a feedback.

      well you can use them to record voice memos for instance but the quality is low and there is a ton of noise cancelling on them. Apparently in order to access the 5 mic array the device must be also processing video and the audio will still be stored in the device, not live processed. at least as far as I currently understand it.
