Ray-Ban Meta

Pair your glasses

Niya talks to your Ray-Bans through the Meta AI app, not directly. That means two separate one-time approvals before Niya can use the camera — this page walks through both.

Before you open Niya

Install the Meta AI app.
Pair your Ray-Ban Meta glasses to it, the normal Bluetooth way.

Step 1

Approve Niya as a connected app

Open Ray-Bans settings

In Niya, go to Ray-Bans settings and tap Configure.

Tap Connect Glasses

This opens the Meta AI app directly — Niya hands off to it for the actual approval.

Approve Niya in the Meta AI app

One-time only — you won't see this prompt again unless you disconnect Niya from the Meta AI app's connected-apps list later.

You'll leave Niya briefly here — the Meta AI app shows its own approval screen. Tap Approve there, then you'll land back in Niya automatically.

Step 2

Grant camera access

Tap Grant Camera Access

Back in Niya, a second prompt — approving Niya as a connected app doesn't include the camera on its own.

Why a second prompt? Meta keeps camera access as its own permission, separate from the general connection — so approving Niya doesn't automatically hand over the camera.

Choose "Allow always"

The Meta AI app prompts again, specifically for the camera this time. Pick Allow always so Niya doesn't ask on every capture.

Another quick trip to the Meta AI app — this prompt is camera-specific. Choose Allow always, then head back to Niya.

✅

Glasses connected — ready

Both steps show checked, and Niya can now capture what your Ray-Bans see. Next: connect a vision API so Niya has something to answer with.

Troubleshooting

A couple of things that come up during pairing.

"Connect Glasses" is greyed out

Registration isn't available yet — usually the Meta AI app isn't installed, or your Ray-Bans aren't paired to it. Fix that first, then come back to this screen; it updates on its own once registration becomes possible.

Tapped "Grant Camera Access" and nothing happened

This can happen if Niya was backgrounded right as you tapped it. Bring Niya back to the foreground and try again — the prompt only works while Niya is the active app.

Approved everything, but Niya still says it can't see

Camera approval is per-device — if you've paired more than one set of Ray-Bans to the Meta AI app, make sure the one that's currently active is the one you granted access on.
