Meta glasses voice‑boost feature limited to three free hours

Meta has announced that the voice‑amplification feature built into its upcoming augmented‑reality glasses will be available for free use for up to three hours per day. The functionality, designed to increase the speaker’s volume in real‑time during conversations, is part of the company’s broader effort to integrate assistive audio tools into wearable technology.

According to the company’s product brief, users can activate the voice boost during meetings, public speaking events, or noisy environments, but the free tier will automatically deactivate after three cumulative hours of use within a 24‑hour period. Beyond that limit, users will need to subscribe to a paid plan or purchase additional usage credits. Meta said the restriction is intended to manage server load and to encourage adoption of its premium services while still offering a trial period for early adopters.

The capped free access underscores Meta’s strategy of monetizing advanced features in its glasses lineup, positioning the voice‑amplification tool as both a utility and a potential revenue stream as the device moves toward broader market release.
