When you submit a report, we’ll use the information you send us to take appropriate action and then delete the recordings.

- The ability to block and mute people.
- The ability to report people or content.
- Personal boundary so other players can’t get too close.
- Trained safety specialists who can monitor and record harmful conduct as it happens.
- When you submit a report, it will include the last few minutes of your experience. This recording is being captured by your Meta Quest headset on a rolling basis, so it's simpler to include evidence of what happened in the past.
