Meta Horizon Worlds V191 is here! We recently rolled out community moderators. Find out below how to apply and become one—or if you’re a Creator, how to invite someone to help keep your worlds comfortable and enjoyable. We’re also reintroducing captions! Read on for more details.

Community Moderators

Become a Community Moderator

Eligible people who are at least 13 years old can now apply or be invited by a world creator to be a community moderator of public worlds. Community moderators can play an important role in helping world creators keep the space comfortable and enjoyable. Learn more about community moderators in Meta Horizon Worlds.

Community Moderators in Your Worlds

We are making it possible for you to invite eligible members of your community to be moderators to help maintain your world’s culture and safety. These moderators are here to help, but they should not be considered a replacement for reporting policy violating behavior.

Community moderators have the following abilities:

Mute or Unmute: If someone’s causing trouble, moderators can mute them for 15 minutes. The moderator can also unmute users when things cool down.
Warn: If someone’s causing trouble, they can send a private warning message to a user to inform them that they are not following world norms.
Remove: In more serious cases, moderators can remove people from the world to keep the peace.

You can invite eligible members of your community to be moderators from the Manage People menu through the World Detail Page. For more information, visit Documentation.

Quality of Life Improvements

General

Captions are available again to help people get the most out of Meta Horizon Worlds. When captions are enabled, you’ll see a text version of other people’s words and sounds from any world you’re in. Only English language voiceover can be transcribed at this time, however you can select to see text translated in Spanish, German, Italian, and French. As of this release, captions aren’t yet available for group audio calls like parties, and they may not work for all non-player characters (NPCs). Learn how to turn on captions in Worlds.
