TikTok Promotes Stickers for Secretly Recording Meta Ray-Ban Video

Customization of the car The company located not too far outside Atlanta promotes a product on the Tiktok store which is made from the same vinyl used to wrap vehicles but which is designed for a very different purpose.

“Have a pair of meta-lunettes and you want to get rid of this indicator here?” Ask a man in a video published on the Luxe Wrap Stars account. “I have the perfect solution for you.” Videos promoting these so-called “ghost points” have been seen more than 2 million times on the social media platform, with at least 500 sets potentially sold via Tiktok.

The product listed on the Tiktok store under the name of “Luxe Ghostdots 4 Meta Glasses” is delivered with a sheet of 20 circular vinyl stickers and sells for about $ 15, the more shipping. The list of these “stealth mode” points does not mince words about what they are designed to do. “Block or dark this brilliant white recording light with these precision vinyl points”, reads the description of the Tiktok store.

Meta, to her credit, put a seer in her glasses for a reason. When using a pair of his smart glasses, the lighting of the light will trigger a message saying that photo and video capacities are disabled. However, users have attempted a variety of strategies to bypass this backup and remove the light indicator, including drilling in glasses to completely break the LED indicator inside.

Do these stickers really work? The Tiktok seller includes an educational video to know how to get around Meta’s safety measures by blocking certain indicators with your hand while the sticker is attached. However, product opinions in the Tiktok store are mainly negative, saying that it does not work as announced. “Was so excited for them, but the meta glasses will not work with it. Continue to say that they block … An excellent idea, however”, reads a criticism of a verified buyer.

In response to another negative examination of the product, displayed a few days ago, the seller encourages buyers to try additional methods if they have problems bypassing the guarantees of Meta smart glasses. “With the new update, instead of covering only the camera lens to bypass the alert, you must cover the frame on which the side of the camera is,” reads the seller’s response.
