<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">According to The Verge, users of Oculus Quest 2 can now have a totally hands-free VR experience with the voice command "Hey Facebook". This means Quest 2 users can issue commands like "Hey Facebook, open Supernatural" or "Hey Facebook, take a screenshot" or “Hey Facebook, who is online” without needing to press anything beforehand. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The wake word also arrives in Portal devices, Facebook's lineup of smart devices, which are basically tablets or "Smart displays." They already have a similar voice command: "Hey Portal." But now, it is being replaced by "Hey Facebook."</p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-13">The wake word will soon be available to all Quest headsets</h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Oculus began rolling out "Hey Facebook" wake word to the Oculus Ques 2 headsets last week. It also plans to make this feature available to all Quest devices soon. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">As per Engadget.com, Oculus said that this feature is 100% opt-in and users will have to activate the new wake word through the Experimental Features. Also, it can be switched off anytime.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Besides, the feature does not work when the headset is powered down or asleep or when the mic is turned off.</p>
