An administered authentication system can authenticate an artificial reality device using an authorization record between a user account and an artificial reality device. In some implementations, the authorization record is created in response to activation of a user account-specific key sent to a user-supplied contact, where an artificial reality device identifier was provided with the user-supplied contact. In other implementations, the authorization record is created in response to activation of a user account-specific key provided to the artificial reality device as a code, where activation of the key includes adding an artificial reality device identifier to a key activation message. In yet other implementations, the authorization record is created in response to an application associated with a user account activating an artificial reality device-specific key, with an artificial reality device identifier, that is provided via the artificial reality device.

The present disclosure describes techniques for enabling users (such as users of a social networking system) to access media effects associated with events. The users may then use the media effects to create media content. For example, a user-selectable option may be provided to a device of a user such that selection of the user-selectable option causes one or more media effects associated with an event to be output by the device. In certain embodiments, techniques are described for selectively providing media effects associated with events to selected users. The selected users may then use the media effects to create media content. For example, a media effect may be associated with one or more conditions for providing the media effect to a user. Only users that satisfy the one or more conditions may get access to the media effect.

Selectively enabling users to access media effects associated with events

Methods, systems, and/or devices for determining relevant changes to an API are described herein. In one aspect, a server system receives a request from a client to compare two versions of an API. A comparison of the two versions, and any intervening versions, of the API is performed by a server, which may then rank the comparison results based on the call volume or other criteria and will return the ranked results to a client for display to a user. Options include restricting the list of changes to just changes impacting a specific client application.
