Ray Ban Meta Bluetooth with Windows 11

Hi Linda Moore,

I understand how frustrating it can be when a Bluetooth device won’t connect properly, especially with newer devices like the Ray‑Ban Meta glasses. Have you already tried the Q&A Assist suggestions? In addition, I’d like to confirm a couple of details:

1. When you try to pair, do the glasses appear in the Bluetooth list at all, or not showing up?
2. Are the glasses currently connected to your phone at the same time?

Also, you can try to check if it connects but no audio. Sometimes the device pairs but doesn’t act as audio output:

• Go to “Settings” > “System” > “Sound”
• Under Output device, select the glasses manually

This helps if Windows paired it but didn’t set it as the active audio device.

Use the built-in Bluetooth troubleshooting steps in Windows 11 and the pairing guidance from the device manufacturer.

1. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in Windows 11
   1. Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
   2. Turn on the Bluetooth toggle.
   3. Alternatively, select the Network, Sound, or Battery icon on the right side of the taskbar and make sure the Bluetooth quick setting is turned on.
2. Prepare the Ray-Ban Meta glasses for pairing
   • Ensure the glasses are charged and powered on.
   • Put them into Bluetooth pairing mode following the manufacturer’s instructions (this is required even if they connect fine to a phone).
   • Keep them close to the laptop during pairing.
3. Try pairing from Windows 11
   1. Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
   2. Select Add device and choose Bluetooth.
   3. When the glasses appear in the list, select them to pair.
4. If the glasses show but will not connect
   1. In Settings > Bluetooth & devices, locate the glasses.
   2. Select More options (…) > Remove device.
   3. Select Add device again and re-pair while the glasses are in pairing mode and close to the PC.
5. If the glasses do not appear in the list
   1. Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Devices.
   2. Under Device settings > Bluetooth devices discovery, set it to Advanced to show all Bluetooth device types.
   3. Try Add device again with the glasses in pairing mode.
6. Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter
   • Use the automated troubleshooter in the Get Help app to detect and fix common Bluetooth configuration issues: Run the troubleshooter in Get Help.
7. Check drivers if pairing still fails
   1. Select Search on the taskbar, type device manager, and open Device Manager.
   2. Expand Bluetooth, right-click the Bluetooth adapter, and select Update driver > Search automatically for updated driver software.
   3. Restart Windows after any driver update and try pairing again.
   4. If no update is found, download and install the latest Bluetooth driver from the laptop manufacturer’s support site, then restart and retry pairing.

If the glasses still will not connect after these steps, follow any additional Bluetooth/PC pairing instructions from the Ray-Ban Meta documentation and support, as some devices require specific app or firmware requirements for PC connections.
