Meta Community AMA: May 2024 Q&A Thread!

[neurodivrgent]

Here for the May 2024 AMA? Then you’ve made it to the right place! This is the thread where we’ll gather your questions and get the highest voted questions answered by the team.

This month’s guest team hosting the AMA with us is the Link team! This is the team responsible for both the user experience for Link in the HMD, as well as for the Link PC app. For more information check out the May AMA Announcement here and if you’re curious for how our AMAs work check out all about them here.

Yes, a good question. Also, will the PC link app see development? It's had the same interface and features for sometime, and a while back it was supposed to get hand control without using controllers, but that seems to have faded away.

So yeah, what gives with the PC link app? Is it the lost child of the meta verse?

I would like to know when you will start taking the older members of the community seriously and allow us to age our avatars to reflect the way we are in real life. Many of us who are old, own being old, and it is a slap in the face when all we are allowed to do is create younger versions with Meta Avatars. I am not asking for the world here, just some grey hair, some wrinkles, some age specific stuff.

It's been asked for many times before. Hopefully soon the older community will receive some attention.

Ya, and I want to include adding my walking cane so I can wave it around annoying kiddies, lol!

Why do you keep releasing PTC builds, without telling people what has changed and what they should be testing/feeding back on?

You have been told this is an issue for years at this point!

[Administrator19781]

As a developer can we get assess to publish the camera in are worlds and maybe a little more capacity so we can put a little bit more design in are builds  that right there would be awesome

You're right, people would pay to have the option of the 'menu environment' of their choice. It could be another revenue stream, but it's being wasted.

'Ya, and I want to include adding my walking cane so I can HIT annoying kiddies with it , lol!'

FTFY

Ha, I know, what's the truth behind your desire for walking canes @TomCgcmfc and @oculusness  😂

This still happening for you @TomCgcmfc  ?  I thought it had been fixed - logging in has got a lot easier for me the past 2 weeks.

A bit better but login to this forum is still a bit hit and miss with both my win11 PC Chrome and iPhone Safari browsers.  So, not quite fixed imho.
