New ways to share experiences and improvements to Safe Zone
Meta Horizon Worlds is back with a bang! The latest update, v108, is here, and it brings some exciting features and improvements. We’ll be looking at two of the most significant additions to the platform in this article: Sharing Your Experiences to Instagram and Facebook Stories and the updated version of Safe Zone.
Share Your Experiences to Instagram and Facebook Stories
The ability to share photos and videos from Worlds to Instagram and Facebook Stories is now available to about 50% of users. Meta Horizon Worlds is testing this feature and plans to expand it to more users throughout May.
Sharing to Stories is easy! To get started, you can either choose images or videos from your Media Gallery or use the Horizon Camera to take a picture and share it immediately. Select Instagram or Facebook Stories as the destination, and you’re good to go!
We’re excited to see what people will create with this feature. It will undoubtedly make sharing your experiences more fun and interactive.
Take a Break in Safe Zone
Meta Horizon Worlds has made it easier for users to take a break with the updated version of Safe Zone. When you select your shield icon, you’ll now see more details of the world you’re in, including everyone in it. However, all activity will appear paused.
When you’re ready to hop back in, select the shield icon again to unpause all the activity around you. You’ll still be in the same place, even though some people may have moved while you were taking a break.
There are two new features you can access from within Safe Zone when you’ve paused your experience:
View someone’s Horizon Worlds profile and take quick action
You can view someone’s full profile by hovering over their nametag or going to nearby people. You can still report, mute, or block someone to address an unwanted situation, and you can also send thanks if someone helped make your experience great.
Access your full menu
The full menu is now available if you want to visit the people tab, travel to a new place, or adjust your settings by hitting your menu button.
Quality of Life Improvements
Creators will be happy to hear that Meta Horizon Worlds has improved the performance and reliability of asset spawning in Visit Mode. This should significantly improve spawn times.
Known Issues
Meta Horizon Worlds is continually improving, but there are still some known issues that need to be addressed:
General
The loading screen doesn’t display text when visiting from a link or loading in from the Meta Quest app.
Creators
Some creators are experiencing a red ring and “save failed” notification while building. They’ll need to exit their world and re-enter to continue building.
We’re excited about the new features and improvements that Meta Horizon Worlds has introduced in v108. We hope to see even more exciting additions to the platform in the future.
