Meta Horizon Worlds v174 Release Notes

Meta Horizon Worlds V174 is here! This week’s update includes a new quality of life improvement that will help you know whether your microphone is on or off when speaking, along with a handful of bug fixes.

Quality of Life Improvements

Introducing Microphone Indicator

We’re beginning to roll out a new microphone indicator in Worlds to help you see your microphone status while speaking.

When your microphone is set to OFF, an icon will show up on the left side of your screen showing that your microphone is muted. If your microphone is ON, the icon will indicate that the microphone is unmuted. In VR, the microphone indicator will only appear while you are speaking, but when exploring on mobile or browser/web, the microphone indicator will remain present even when you are not speaking. This feature will be turned on by default but you can choose to disable it from the Sound settings tab.

For more information on microphone and mute settings in Horizon Worlds, please visit the Meta Help Center.
