WAVE BETA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Wave Beta?
Wave Beta is an early-access version of the Wave platform allowing users to experience and test new features before the full release. As a Beta user, you’ll have the chance to try out experimental features and provide feedback to shape the future of the Wave experience. Since many features of the app are still in development, users may encounter bugs, and our team will work on addressing them as quickly as possible.
Do I need a VR headset to participate in Wave Beta?
No, Wave Beta will have both a VR experience and an interactive livestream available on our private Discord server.
How can I sign up for the Wave Beta?
Wave Beta is invite-only, and access is granted by joining our waitlist. To sign up, visit our website, provide your email address, and wait for an invitation once spots become available.
What headsets are supported by the Wave Beta VR App?
Quest 3 and Quest 3S. PC VR headsets are not supported at this time.
How do I get off the waitlist for Wave Beta access?
Users will be invited to join the Beta in waves, based on their position on the waitlist and other criteria. You can move up on the waitlist by referring friends. Keep an eye on your email for an invitation as we gradually roll out access to more users.
How will I know when I have been granted access to the Beta?
You will receive an email from Wave containing instructions for the next steps to access the Beta. This email will include your invitation to our private Discord server, which is a key communication and feedback gathering place for Beta users to connect, give feedback, and receive updates.
Why is there a verification process in Discord?
The verification process in Discord is in place to verify you are an invited beta user. For VR Beta users it also confirms that the email you provided to join the waitlist is matched with your Meta Horizon account email. This allows us to securely send you the Beta VR app.
How do I download or access Wave Beta VR app once I’m accepted?
Once you are verified by the Wave community manager, you will receive an invite directly from Meta Horizon with the subject “Release channel invite from WaveXR.” Wave will also send you an email containing instructions to download and access the Wave VR Beta app. This is an invite-only app and only accessible to users who have been granted access to the Beta by Wave.
In your Quest 3 headset, navigate to “Library > Applications” and select the “ALL” filter in the top right corner. Click on the “Wave Beta” app to download it, which may take up to 10 minutes depending on your connection.
What should I do if I encounter bugs or issues during the Beta?
If you encounter any bugs or issues during the Beta, please report them in the Discord channel dedicated to support-and-bug-reports. A team member will respond within 24 hours to assist and address your concerns. Your feedback will help us improve the experience for all users.
Is there any cost to participate in Wave’s Beta?
Currently, there is no cost to participate in Wave’s Beta. While we may explore monetization options in the future, our primary focus during this phase is to gather feedback and enhance the user experience. We appreciate your involvement and support as we develop the platform!
How long will the Beta phase last?
The duration of the Beta phase is yet to be determined and will largely depend on the feedback we receive from users. We want to ensure that the platform is fully optimized and ready for a wide release before transitioning out of Beta. Your input will be crucial in shaping our timeline!
Can I invite friends to join the Beta, and if so, how?
Yes, you can invite friends to join the Beta by referring them to sign up for the waitlist. The more friends you refer, the higher your position will move up on the waitlist, increasing your chances of gaining access to the Beta sooner!
When are the shows?
Regular shows and schedules will be posted in our Discord channel, which serves as the primary communication hub for Beta users. While we will also share updates via email, our newsroom, and social media, you can find all the details in Discord. Additionally, show schedules will be listed in the app when you log in.
How long is a Wave?
Waves normally run 30-45 minutes in length and include a 5-15 minute pre-show.
How can Beta Users attend a show?
Beta users can attend a show either in VR with the Quest 3 headset or by watching the interactive livestream on Wave’s private Discord server.
