Portal Go brings the best of Portal Smart Camera video calling to a new, portable version. It’s designed to let conversations move from room to room, with an integrated handle and long-lasting battery to make portability easier. Portal Go includes a 12MP camera with an ultrawide field of view for immersive video calls. And it doubles as a portable speaker with room-filling sound to listen to your favorite music throughout your home. As the smallest smart display, it probably most closely resembles the digital photo frames it was inspired by, though with far more features.The Portal+’s communication features, like its app support, are uneven. You can make voice and video calls with Facebook Messenger, Facebook Workplace, and WhatsApp, as well as participate in videoconferences on services such as BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, Webex, and Zoom. However, Skype is completely missing from the system, and you can’t make phone calls with it like you can with the Echo Show and Google Nest Hub devices. Sharp Camera and Screen

We’re also introducing Portal for Business , a new service for SMBs to leverage Portal’s video calling and collaboration tools by easily deploying and managing Portal devices. With Portal for Business, SMBs will be able to create and manage Facebook Work Accounts for their teams. This is a new account type on Portal and will be available for many Facebook work products over the coming year. Learn more about Facebook Work Accounts. Portal Mini can be used in portrait or landscape orientation and sports an intelligent adaptive display that adjusts brightness and colour to account for your surroundings. This makes your favourite photos look great, but ensures calls look good too. META QUEST IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE https://www.oculus.com/quest-2/removable-facial-interface-alert.

Easily video call friends and family on smartphones or tablets using Messenger or WhatsApp.* Add up to seven people to a group call with Messenger, or three with WhatsApp. I love the FB Portal because it's cheaper than a laptop and I just wanted something to do the bare minimal and I didn't want a tablet either. Using Facebook is a bonus because a lot of my family and friends use messenger or messenger rooms. Love the camera when it follows you or zoom in on others in the room. Have the person you'd like to add to your Portal select the account(s) they would like to add, then tapNext.See, hear and delete all of your Portal's voice interactions in Portal settings or on their Facebook activity log. We like this addition to the system as it gives family members the chance to get involved with things like bedtime routines even when they're miles away. More than just video calling One of the standout features is the smart camera technology. The camera automatically follows you as you move around during video calls, ensuring you stay in the frame without the need for readjustments. It makes conversations feel more natural and immersive, especially when you have young kids or pets running around. Each device sports some fairly powerful and surprisingly capable built-in speakers for your audio enjoyment too. Work as a photo frame Meta Portal is designed to not just be great for video calling, but also to keep things interesting in other ways. For example, there are familiar apps built into the devices to keep you entertained. These include things like Spotify, Deezer, Words with Friends and Draw Something.

Meta also has its own voice control system that the company says it is constantly striving to improve as well. "Hey Portal" commands will wake the device and let you do more in future.

The built-in speakers deliver impressive volume and bass, enhancing the overall video calling experience. I found it perfect for catching up with friends and family, even in noisy environments. Have the person you'd like to add follow the on-screen instruction to log in with their Facebook, WhatsApp or Workplace account.You can have up to five profiles linked to your Portal. These accounts can be Facebook, WhatsApp or Workplace accounts. We did find the 131-degree field of view gave a slight fish-eye effect to the footage, but it wasn’t enough to detract from the video call. Meanwhile, the Story Time function enables Little Red Riding Hood and other fairy tales to be read on-screen, with the addition of music, animations and in some cases, filters that make you the center of the action.
