Google Voice Assistant
I am interested in purchasing two Portal Plus systems. I been looking at your features and see that you have Alexa built into the Portal. I do not use or like Alexa. My home is a complete Google home. Do you also have Google Voice built into the Portal? If not, it looks like I am going to have to use Goole Meet for my home video calls. I need to know before purchasing. -

Commands & Settings
I have followed the set up My Portal + and connected to Alexa. If I use English (UK) I cant use the call command "Hey Portal, phone contact" I have to change settings to "English US/Canada" but then both Alexa & Portal answer. Alexa cant be used on many commands, and its hard to find detailed instructions on how to customize Portal to work with Alexa.

Portal's command word should be adjustable to accomodate people with speech impediments who cannot properly pronounce words.
Portal's command word/commands should be adjustable to accomodate people with speech impediments who cannot properly pronounce words. We have handicapped accessible everything, its disappointing that we have technology that isn't.

Alexa bug: Can’t be relinked
If you deregister your portal from you’re amazon account it will let you re-link it via the amazon website, but Alexa will not work... no matter what you do.
This needs fixing ASAP.

Portal Voice Support in French
To make calls using the assistant, it must be set in English. It doesn’t support French. Alexa does, but the call command can’t be used with Alexa, so French users are stuck without voice assistance.

Change Alexa’s name
Please, please make an update that allows a change of name from Alexa to “Echo” or “Computer” anything else (like Amazon allows). Our daughter is named Alexa, and I’m sure anyone with an Alexis or Alex or similar names is struggling with this. I recently connected my Amazon account to my Portal so I can access my music from there, and every time I call my daughter it interrupts / messes up. Those of us with family members or friends named Alexa (or variations of it) would really appreciate it. I have to disable my camera and microphone in order…

Control Spotify with voice, and set Spotify as default music app
Portal should be on par with Echo when it comes to voice controlling music (and other apps). When I say "Alexa, play music" it should open up the Spotify app and continue playing music, just like it does on all my other devices. Now, all Alexa says is "this device is not supported". Also, I should be able to set Spotify as my default music app, which I currently cannot do.
I say this as a Portal TV owner.16 votes -
Get the voice activation to work with English UK..
Whats the difference in technology? American voice is not good to hear in the UK. Very poor selling something in UK that can only be used with American voice.

Enable Apple Music
You can already use Apple Music on all other Echo devices and can play Apple Music on the portal using the Alexa app. So why not just enable it to let me play it with my voice. please!

Alexa Wake Word: Respond only if closest device
I have an Echo in the kitchen and a Portal TV in the living room. Even when I'm sitting right next to the kitchen Echo, the Portal TV responds and takes over, which is very frustrating. I don't have the same issue with other Echo devices, which defer to the closest device. The Portal TV doesn't seem to understand how to do this.
It'd be great if you could add this function, or at least enable me to decrease sensitivity of the Portal.

Allow me to use "voice control' to place a WhatsApp call
It is annoying to be able to call only people who have facebook with messenger on their phone with voice controlled "hey portal." I keep forgetting who has WhatsApp and who does not.

Explicitly advise to change English Language setting to US/Canada to activate "Hey Portal" features
As a UK user, the website wasn't clear enough that I needed to change the language settings to US/Canada activate the "Hey Portal" features.
Considering I chose the language settings before I could experience using portal, it was very frustrating to resolve this issue and was only after contacting the email support team did this become clear.
