  1. Fix the Alexa settings for activation word and language settings

    Right now changing the language or trying to change the activation word in the Alexa settings does not work. So, bilingual households cannot use Alexa with the Portal device.

  2. 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.

    Portal connects to home audio or wireless headphones over bluetooth but to navigate through all the settings to turn on or off bluetooth when i want to use headphones/inbuilt speaker is super clunky

  5. Enable Alexa Announcements on Facebook Portal

    Alexa Voice Services have made Announcements feature available to all third-party, Alexa enabled devices. However, this is not enabled on Facebook Portal.

    This prevents Facebook Portal from being used as a speaker for Alexa Routines, or a screen for routines like - display my Ring doorbell when someone rings it. It's a simple fix it seems, and would unlock a huge extra range of functionality on the device.

  9. Allow Portal and Portal+ to use commands in other languages for both ‘’Alexa’’ & ‘’Hey Portal’’

    The reason why i bought Portal was to communicate with my relatives who mainly speak Spanish, i bought them a portal and the so called ‘’language’’ feature only changes the language but the commands remain in English.

  11. Ability to say which Portal you want to answer on via voice (ex. if you have Portal TV or Portal)

    Now that you have the Portal and Portal TV, you'll have situations where someone calls you and both Portals ring. It would be ideal to say "Hey Portal, answer on the tv" or "hey portal, answer on my portal" or something, so that you can specify. Currently, the closest Portal will answer. But in my case, the TV is always closer, however I may not want to use my tv for this right now.

  12. Enable Alexa-compatible electrical appliances

    Many household electrical appliance, for example, washing machine, oven, microwave. Owner of these devices invested in smarthome and definitely expect all Alexa-Buit-in products to integrate well with their Alexa-compatible smarthome.

  13. Wake up name needs to be changable from Alexa

    The wake up name needs to be changable from Alexa. Very annoying if you have an Amazon or indeed human Alexa already in your household!!

  14. Voice Command Answering

    Like many on here, I have a parent with vascular dementia. Portal has been a lifesaver during quarantine, but there needs to be a voice command to answer an incoming video call. Surely, “Alexa, answer this call...” is both feasible and hugely needed!

  15. ADD GOOGLE ASSISTANT -

    I have Alexa Show and Alexa doesn't work even half as well as Google Assistant. Add Google Assistant and I know my whole family would buy them. We liked most of what Alexa show has but the one downfall was it constantly saying "hmm, I don't know that one" and we would then have to pick up our phones and ask google.

  20. Allow user to disable the "portal" voice commands

    Please give us a way to disable the Portal Plus voice commands. It is beyond frustrating that when I am on a video call and mention the word 'portal' it wakes up & interrupts me, turns my audio down, dims my video while it tries to interpret my conversation as a 'command'!
    If it only responded to "Hey Portal" that would be OK, but simply responding to "Portal" is unacceptable.
    Obviously turning the microphone off is NOT the solution :-)
