If you bought a Meta device and see a code on the screen, don’t worry. This is normal and important for setup. Meta uses this code to create a secure link between your device and your Meta account.
In this guide, you will find out how to enter the code from your device at www.meta.com/device. You’ll also learn why this step matters and how to solve common activation problems.
Visit www.meta.com/device to activate your Meta device. Enter the temporary code displayed on your device, like a Meta Quest headset.
This step confirms the device is yours. After you enter the code, your device is ready to use.
To enter the code at www.meta.com/device, follow the steps below carefully to avoid any mistakes:
Could you power on your Meta device and connect it to the Internet? You will see a unique activation code displayed on the screen.
🔹 Keep the device on — the code expires after a short time.
Open a web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer and go to www.meta.com/device.
Sign in using your Meta account credentials. If you don’t have an account yet, the system will prompt you to create one.
For security reasons, Meta may also request verification via email or two-factor authentication.
Type the code with precision. Make sure it matches what you see on your screen.
✔ Use correct letters and numbers ✔ Avoid extra spaces ✔ Double-check before submitting
Click Continue to proceed.
Once the system accepts the code, your device will proceed with the setup on its own. Someone may ask you to:
Update software
Adjust settings
Confirm preferences
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish.
Meta uses device codes to:
