Facebook Portal Plus - Smart Video Calling 15.6” Touch Screen Display with Alexa - Black

Cannot make calls to a computer without installing messenger first, unlike current way where you can without issues, also, even after installing it, they will keep getting the call on their phone instead of the computer. Also called to a tablet, and seems rotation wasnt working, tried multiple times and kept having issues, returning it, seems a great idea, but far from mature :( Added a picture of how it looks on a tablet. Update: I kept it and bought one for my mom, seems thats gonna be the only way to check how it works when you call portal to portal, seems calling a phone or a tablet is not the ideal way to use this, I was hoping it would just call any other messenger no matter where it was installed (PC/tablet) without issues, so far not that good, not ideal to buy a portal to each one of the people I wanna talk to, but at least will try it, I was expecting something better than Skype, but not so far. I like the video and sound of the device, not that many apps so far, but as I saw it advertised, I think it is more focused to be a video chat approach like Skype, will try with 2 portals and see how it works.

Ive been with my momma for a number of months helping her to transition to a retirement community & working through some medical challenges. Ive been in the habit of tucking her in each night. Now its time for me to go home. I purchased this so that we can connect each night at bedtime. I especially love how it is voice controlled. All she has to do is tell it to call me. I got the biggest size so that its more life size... This will bring us both a lot of comfort, connectedness. Night times can be a challenge for her, this will help so much cuz Im just a video call away!

Wowww es increíble lo súper recomiendo para las video llamadas grupales

Excellent, we love our Portal plus. The camera is sharp and the sound is great. I use it for meetings and calling family and friends. The packaging is excellent, it protected the portal so well and very sleek design. it came with no damage at all. I highly recommend this product

Great when it is connected . Clear picture, nice sound. Sorry its going out of business. I brought my great grand babies one. Cost me a pretty penny. Now cant use. Cant see and talk to my greatgrand babies.

Aside from the amazing video and audio quality, I love the zoom in/out feature which follows my children’s movement around the room. An amazing investment!!

I liked it but my 4 year old son couldnt operate it by himself and I bought it for him so he could try to video chat with me so I would give it five stars but him not so much I think its more for adults they said there is Facebook games on there but it didnt really have that and theres no YouTube kids so he can watch anything on YouTube and I dont like that I think its a great product but I think it could use some updates or improvements

Portal is great! Amazing clear camera that follows you and pans out to include others as they enter the room. We can now celebrate with my parents who are 3000 miles away! It really is like they are in the same room! Sound quality on the Portal + is nice too, as are the Alexa features that are built in. Calls are encrypted and there is a camera cover as well as an on/off switch for the microphone. For the crazy conspiracy theorists out there that choose to return this simply because of the Facebook name....better return your Smart TV, turn off all your cell phone apps, return anything Ring, Alexa or Google related..... better yet, maybe you should consider living off the grid because the future is here!

Love the size for video calls. Easy to see everyone in the room. Video calls are nice quality. Love it for talking to kids that are far away. Hate that can’t rename Alexa on this device ( grandsons name is Alex - makes it difficult to say his name, also it picks up to many cues from the tv ). Difficult to adjust volume for Alexa. Either too loud or too quiet. Strange as it is fine for video calls. Sometimes it overhears something and makes calls out of the blue. I keep the microphone and camera off and covered unless using. For video calls I would give it five stars. Love it for that.

It’s amazing, but sucks that it has to stay plugged in! Would make such a difference if it was a little more portable. The zooming & tracking technology is an awesome addition to video chatting
