Meta Connect livestream: How to watch live

The leaves are falling, the temperature is dropping, and tech companies are making their announcements every week — Autumn is here.

Mark Zuckerberg will take the stage as part of Meta Connect, Meta’s annual two-day developer conference focused on virtual reality, AR, the metaverse, and everything there is to know about the company’s smart glasses. Zuckerberg will kick off the Sept. 17 event with a keynote at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET in which he “shares the latest on AI glasses and lays out Meta’s vision for artificial intelligence and the metaverse,” according to Meta. The event is set to showcase AI glasses, and we just might get a glimpse at the long-anticipated Hypernova smart glasses, which are consumer-ready glasses with a display, according to CNBC. CNBC also reports that we might also see a much-rumored wristband “that will allow users to control the glasses with hand gestures.” Tom’s Guide reports that, in addition to the Hypernova smart glasses, the company could announce the details for the next-gen Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 and a new VR headset.

On Sept. 18, the schedule includes a developer keynote at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET in which “executives across Meta” will talk about how their “latest technologies are creating opportunities for developers to build new experiences for people.” Developer sessions, hosted by “leading developers and technologists” start at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET and include “sessions with deep dives on virtual reality at AI” plus “new tools for accelerating development.”

You can watch it all for yourself on Facebook Live by following the Meta for Developers page, or watch the keynote in Meta Horizon. If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything, you can sign up for updates from Meta on their site.
