Overview

Description

Connecting through Portal feels less like being on a video call and more like being in the same room, even when you're far apart. And Portal makes it easier to connect more regularly with the most important people in your life.

Portal from Facebook. Learn about Facebook Portal and Portal Plus.

Features

Move and talk freely with Smart Camera
With Smart Camera, you don't have to worry about being out of frame. Whether you're moving around the kitchen, preparing dinner or chasing the kids through the living room, Smart Camera adjusts to follow the action.
As more people enter the room, Smart Camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so you don't miss a moment.
Private by design
Facebook doesn't listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls. Calls on Portal are encrypted, so conversations stay between you and those you're calling.
You can also completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap or block the camera lens with the camera cover provided.
Connect with friends, even if they don't have Portal
Easily call friends and family on Messenger - calls can be made seamlessly to and from smartphones and tablets. And you can bring up to six other people into a group call.
Alexa built in
Portal has Alexa built in, so you can ask a question, set a timer, add items to your shopping list, control your smart home or more. Just ask.
Experience more together
With Portal, story time will never be the same. With music, animation and augmented reality effects, Portal lets you become some of your children's favorite characters as you read along to well-loved stories.
And if your friends or family also have Portal, you can listen to your favorite music together as if you were in the same room - without delays or feedback.
Stay close with Superframe
When you're not in a call, Portal can display your Facebook photos and videos. You can also see when your closest contacts are available to connect, and get birthday reminders.
Active Facebook account required for product use.

So we got two of these, one for us and one for my parents who live out of state. We Skype a lot so my family can see us and the kids and this is an awesome and easy way to do video calling. The camera detects you and follows you around the room so you can move around if needed. It also has tons of other fun features for all including built in Alexa, you can connect to pandora or Spotify for music and there’s also games and fun stories for kids to play with too. You can also search the web and pull up recipes which is great since we have ours in the kitchen are. Also when not in use it acts like a digital picture frame and displays pictures off your Facebook account if you choose to which is nice as well.

I bought two of these and they work flawlessly. I can see my Grandchildren from over two hundred miles away so clearly and the sound is great with a nice balance of tone from the speakers. This is better than anything out there and Facebook has done an excellent job on this product. Story time is fun and and everything is so easy to to use. No more voice calls because this product is the future in communications.

Since I am currently relocating to Denver, Co and would like to keep in contact with elderly parents this is the perfect device. Both my parents are technology handicapped and have had no trouble using the item. Highly recommended.
