Ray-Ban Meta: How to Record Horizontal 16:9 Video

Quick summary: Ray-Ban Meta glasses record vertical video, and there’s no setting for horizontal. The only way to get 16:9 widescreen footage is to turn the glasses sideways.

How to record video normally

1. Press and hold the capture button on top of the right arm to start recording.
2. Tap it once to stop.

The horizontal video trick

1. Take the glasses off your face.
2. Turn them 90 degrees so the camera is sideways, and hold them that way while you film.
3. Press and hold the capture button to record, then tap to stop. The clip comes out horizontal.

It’s not ideal. You either hold the glasses in your hand or tilt your head sideways. I’d love a built-in horizontal mode, and maybe a future version of the glasses will add one. For now, this is the workaround.
