Add voice command "Hey Portal, turn off the Screen Reader".
Add a voice command "Hey Portal, turn off the Screen Reader". For those that don't know how to navigate Portal while the Screen Reader is on, this voice command would create a very easy way to disable Screen Reader and return Portal to normal controls in a matter of 5 seconds.

New wake word "Hey Facebook" is great!
I recently purchased 2 Facebook Portal TV. One of them allows the wake word to be changed to "Hey Facebook". My 85 year old mother has a Facebook Portal + and a Facebook Portal TV. She can only use voice commands since she has parkinsons and also gets frustrated with remotes. She loves the ability to say "hey portal" for her smaller portal and "hey facebook" for her portal TV. Please roll this feature out to all devices. I currently have to use the remote on the other facebook portal tv since it does not have the configurable setting.

Portal should allow us to answer our home tv from another location.
I want to be able to send & answer calls from my office that I make to my home to my dogs and cats on a giant tv. How to answer without a human at home to accept the call.
Make that an option, and I'm getting one asap.

Enable voice commands to make WhatsApp calls, where caller doesn't have FB messenger
I've learnt that you can only call someone using voice commands if they already have a FB account. If they only have WhatsApp, it doesn't work. As this device is particularly suited to the older generation who don't get touchscreens and don't have Facebook, this seems like a major oversight.

Give nicknames to multiple portals
I have a Portal TV in the living room and a portal mini in the kitchen in an open floor plan layout. The issue is both will answer if I say, "Hey Portal". It would be great if you could give each portal a nickname, so when you go to answer one of them you could say, "Hey Portal answer Living Room," or "Hey Portal answer Kitchen," and there would be no feedback issues and both portals would not be active.

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.

I like to have captions for my portal so I can talk with my family and having captions would benefit me a lot!
Captions calls would benefit me a lot so I can read the captions when I talk to my family and not having captions this would be useless portal for me being hard of hearing.

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.

More variations a
I'm currently trying to teach my Dad with Alzheimers how to use Facebook portal TV so we can stay in touch. He's struggles to use it because he says 'Hi PortAL' and can't get the words 'phone [my name]' out fast enough. He feels like such a failure when it doesn't work. Is it possible to get Portal to recognise Hi instead of just Hey and port-AL rather than just portal. Also it would be great if it can listen out for commands a tiny bit longer, while my Dad finds his words.
