Instagram has rolled out a new set of Story creation features designed for users of Meta AI glasses, including the Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, and Meta Glasses. The update introduces Spin View, Multi-Cam, and enhanced native editing tools that let creators produce immersive, hands-free content directly within Instagram Stories.

What You Need to Know

  • Spin View lets viewers rotate their phone to explore a creator's full surroundings in an interactive Story
  • Multi-Cam combines footage from a smartphone and Meta AI glasses into a single Story with synchronised angles
  • New editing tools include Expand for reframing, audio controls for voice clarity, and speed controls
  • Features are available through the existing Story upload workflow for compatible Meta AI glasses content

Spin View

Spin View is an interactive Story format that lets viewers explore a creator's full point of view by moving or rotating their phone while watching a Story. Instead of a fixed frame, the feature allows audiences to pan across the scene captured through Meta AI glasses, creating a more immersive experience.

When a creator uploads compatible footage shot on supported Meta AI glasses, the Story displays a Spin View indicator. Viewers can then physically rotate their device to look around the scene, as if they were standing in the creator's position. Instagram says the feature is designed to make Stories feel more immersive by letting people explore rather than just watch.

Multi-Cam

Multi-Cam merges separate recordings made on a smartphone and Meta AI glasses into a single synchronised multi-angle Story. The feature automatically aligns clips from both devices so the two viewpoints appear together without manual editing.

Creators can use Multi-Cam to show what their glasses captured while they are also visible on camera via the phone. This allows for creative storytelling that switches between a first-person view from the glasses and a third-person view from the phone. Instagram says the synchronised approach gives viewers multiple angles inside a single Story and provides creators with a new way to present their content.

New Editing Tools

Instagram has added three new editing tools specifically for Meta AI glasses content:

  • Expand: Reframes wide-angle footage so the focus lands on specific parts of a scene, helping creators adjust composition after capture.
  • Audio controls: Reduce background noise while boosting voice clarity for clearer audio in hands-free recordings.
  • Speed controls: Slow down or speed up footage depending on the pacing needed for the Story.

These tools are built into Instagram's existing Story editing interface, so creators do not need to leave the app or use third-party software.

How to Access the Features

The new tools are integrated into the standard Story upload workflow. Creators need to select photos or videos captured using Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, or Meta Glasses from their gallery. Compatible content displays a glasses icon in the top-left corner. After proceeding to the Story editing screen, tapping the glasses icon opens a dedicated menu with Spin View, Multi-Cam, and the new editing capabilities.

Why It Matters

Meta has been steadily expanding the capabilities of its AI glasses lineup, and deeper integration with Instagram Stories is a logical next step. For creators, these tools reduce the friction of producing engaging content from wearable devices. For Meta, tighter integration between its hardware and Instagram strengthens the ecosystem moat, encouraging users to stay within Meta's platforms rather than cross-posting to competitors.

Spin View, in particular, represents a new content format that could drive higher engagement on Stories by turning passive viewing into an interactive experience. Early adopters in the creator community have already begun experimenting with the format for travel content, behind-the-scenes footage, and event coverage.

Availability

The features began rolling out globally from July 1, 2026, and are available on both iOS and Android versions of Instagram. Users need a compatible Meta AI glasses device to create content with these tools, but any Instagram user can view Spin View Stories regardless of whether they own the glasses.

The rollout is expected to reach all users within a week. Meta has not announced any plans to bring these features to non-Meta wearable devices, keeping the functionality exclusive to its hardware ecosystem.

Bottom Line

Instagram's new Story tools for Meta AI glasses mark a meaningful step toward wearable-first content creation. Spin View and Multi-Cam give creators fresh formats to experiment with, while the built-in editing tools keep the workflow inside the app. For Meta, it is another thread tying its hardware to its social platform, strengthening the ecosystem against competitors like TikTok and Snapchat.
