QuestionDoes everyone need a portal or can one person use a portal and others use others use another device?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I use my portal to chat (using messenger) with others using their phones & computer. As long as the internet signal is good the communication is great. While I can chat and walk around the room w my portal sitting on my desk my chatmates have to remain glued to their phones.

Questioncan you facebook live with this
Asked 5 years ago by knocoff.
- Answer Yes this was my question as well and for some reason it was left unanswered and took a chance as I wanted the portal strictly for fb lives. It does allow you to go live I just haven’t figured out how to go live in a specific group or biz page yet as it appears it wants to jump right to personal page.
