        "content": "It depends on **which \u201cMeta Glasses\u201d model** you have and what settings you\u2019re using. Here's a breakdown of the most common devices and their video recording limits as of mid-2026:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfa5 Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses (Gen 1 & Gen 2)\n\n- **Default per-clip limit**: 30 seconds. You can record for 30 seconds without changing anything. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/how-long-do-the-meta-glasses-record/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **After updating the setting**: Up to **3 minutes** in a single clip. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/how-long-do-the-meta-glasses-record/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Gen 2 models\u2019 added features**: Support for 3K/Ultra HD capture. Changing quality or frame rate (e.g. using higher resolution or 60 fps) usually means more battery and storage used. ([about.fb.com](https://about.fb.com/news/2025/09/ray-ban-meta-gen-2-better-battery-life-video-capture/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd76\ufe0f Oakley Meta Vanguard\n\n- Can record **up to 5 minutes** in some modes. However, if you're using higher video settings (such as 3K), the clip length may be limited to **3 minutes**. ([tomsguide.com](https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/smart-glasses/i-went-skiing-and-sledding-with-the-oakley-meta-vanguard-smart-glasses-4-reasons-why-theyre-better-than-gopro-and-2-where-they-fall-short?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f What to Know & Limitations\n\n- The \u201cclip limit\u201d refers to how long a single recording runs before it **automatically stops**. To record more, you\u2019ll have to start a new video. ([thetoolstrunk.com](https://thetoolstrunk.com/how-long-do-the-meta-glasses-record/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Battery life, internal storage, and settings like resolution/frames per second can drastically affect actual usable video time. Higher resolution = shorter battery life and more storage used. ([androidcentral.com](https://www.androidcentral.com/wearables/these-smart-glasses-have-given-me-a-new-reason-to-record-video-again?utm_source=openai))  \n- For livestreaming (e.g. over Instagram/Facebook), there might be extended limits (like up to **30 minutes**), but that\u2019s different from local saved clips. This often depends on what app/glasses combo you\u2019re using. ([essilorluxottica.com](https://www.essilorluxottica.com/cap/content/143894/?_iframe=true&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the exact model of your Meta/Ray-Ban/Oakley glasses, I can check the precise cap and what settings you have, so you\u2019ll know what max clip length you\u2019ll get."
