Can I download older version of Meta Link?
Hi, I have three products that were supposed to launch on December 1, and all three are dead in the water, waiting on a fix for the Meta Link v83 bugs. The headset update to v83 did not fix any of my issues on any system, Nvidia or AMD, on any of three PCs I've tested on. I switched headsets, cables, and did full uninstall / reinstall cycle. If I start with a basic Unity app and add the All-In-One SDK, it flat out refuses to work with even the most basic OVRCameraRig setup. I don't know how this isn't plaguing everyone else. But I need to ship these products. Is it possible for me to download and use an older version of Meta Link ? Does Meta have pre-release versions of Meta XR All-in-One SDK ? The official one is still v81. That might be the silver bullet. Thank you, -ChiltonRuntime Optimizer Part 2 - GPU Textures and Mixed Reality | Performance Series
In Part 2 of our technical deep dive, Meta software engineers Jay Hsia and Nico Lopez move from high-level profiling into real GPU problem solving for mixed reality on Meta Quest. You’ll see how they use the Runtime Optimizer to study Passthrough projects and large texture collections, then turn that data into shader changes and day-to-day profiling routines that keep performance predictable. 💡After viewing this session, you’ll understand how to: Configure Runtime Optimizer experiments for Passthrough and mixed reality projects. Choose between Texture 2D Array and atlases for large texture sets. Stream high resolution textures in smaller chunks. Move UV work into the vertex shader and add profiler markers. 🎬 CHAPTERS 👋 INTRODUCTION 🕒 00:00 - Welcome & Agenda Overview 🛠️ DEBUGGING & MIXED REALITY 🕒 03:19 - Profiling Passthrough & Mixed Reality 🕒 06:24 - Texture Arrays vs. Texture Atlases 🎨 Shader & Code Optimization 🕒 12:52 - Fixing Texture Fetch Stalls (Vertex Shaders) 🕒 16:52 - Best Practices for Profiler Markers ✅ FINAL THOUGHTS 🕒 20:20 - Recap & Next Steps 📖 OPTIMIZATION EXAMPLES REFERENCED IN THIS VIDEO 🔖 Meta Quest Runtime Optimizer Docs: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-quest-runtime-optimizer/ 🔖 Unity Profiler Documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Profiler.html 📚 RESOURCES ➡️ Developers Blog: https://developers.meta.com/resources/blog/ ➡️ Meta Quest Developer Hub: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/ts-mqdh/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH US ➡️ Sign up to get the latest news from Meta Horizon: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/newsletter 💡 LEARN ABOUT THE META HORIZON START PROGRAM The Meta Horizon Start program provides intermediate and advanced developers with the resources, hands-on support, and expert guidance needed to accelerate their app development.

A User Centered Idea to Make WhatsApp Messaging More Efficient
Hello Meta team, I would like to share a feature idea that can significantly improve user communication, reduce friction, and increase the overall clarity and confidence people feel when sending messages. Many users rely on the audio recording button when they need to express something quickly. However, audio messages are not always practical. They cannot always be heard immediately, they can feel intrusive in quiet environments, and they often fail to convey the exact tone or clarity that the sender intends. This leads to misunderstandings or users re recording multiple times until the message finally feels right. Here is a simple solution inspired by real human behavior and psychology: A Make Text button. With one tap, users could generate the message they want to send by speaking naturally. Instead of sending the audio, WhatsApp would convert it into clean, readable text. The generated text would appear on screen before sending, so the user can quickly review it, adjust anything they want, and then send it with full confidence. This supports how people naturally think. When speaking, thoughts flow more freely. When typing, thoughts become more organized. This feature would combine both strengths: the speed of speech with the clarity of text. It also reduces social pressure because the user can see the text before the other person does, giving them a sense of control and comfort. Initially, this feature could be released in English, then expanded to other languages as it proves its value. This small addition can make communication smoother, more inclusive, and far more efficient. It respects peoples time, their environments, and the psychology behind how they choose to express themselves. Thank you for considering this idea. I truly believe it can make everyday communication on WhatsApp smarter, faster, and more human friendly. Best regards, Akash🎉 Fast Essentials: Polish and Ship your Title | NORAM
