How to recenter the display on the Meta Quest 3S?

It’s common for the display to become misaligned after head movement, a position change, or extended use. The Meta Quest 3S allows you to recenter the interface and apps in seconds to restore a natural alignment with your gaze.

1. Use the quick shortcut with the Meta button

The easiest way to recenter the display is to use the Meta button (located on the right controller):

1. Position your head in the desired direction (the one you want to face).
2. Hold down the Meta button for 2 to 3 seconds.
3. The display will automatically recenter on your new orientation.

This works in the main menu and in most compatible applications.

2. Recalibrate via system settings

If the shortcut does not work properly, you can use the quick settings:

1. Open the headset’s main menu.
2. Click on “Reset View”.
3. Wait 3 seconds while looking at the area where you want the view to be centered.

3. Reposition the “play area” if needed

If the display problem is related to your physical space (new room, change of furniture), it is useful to redefine the play area:

1. Go to Settings > Environment Configuration > Boundary.
2. Select “Create a new boundary.”
3. Follow the steps to redraw the safe boundaries of the space.

This will correct any alignment issues related to poor environment recognition.

4. Restart the headset as a last resort

If manual and system-based recentering doesn’t help, restart the headset:

1. Hold the power button.
2. Select “Restart” from the menu.
3. Once rebooted, repeat step 1 to recenter the display.
