Replacement Remote Control or Remote Control App
Kind of odd but apparently there's no ability to purchase a replacement remote control or to download an App that can function as a remote on my phone. It's a little frustrating that my only option is to buy a new Portal TV?

Add RingCentral Video Calling app. Please!!!
Please add RingCentral to your apps. Or at least make it so that it will work in the browser. I was hoping I could at least use it that way. This is where all my client contacts are, and it is not appropriate to be their friend on facebook.

2 simple features:
A button to pin fullscreen view on a particular person in a group call so it does not automatically change to anyone else
Another button to lock the view while in a call so that the call cannot be ended by naughty kids in the room who press the red shiny button

Bigger remote for the elderly for Portal TV
i was wondering , as you aim this product at the elderly , would it not be an idea to make it more age friendly. I have purchased 2 to mount on my tv and my elderly mother, who has Parkinsons , firstly the packaging is terrible to open , i have arthritis as do a lot of older people , what a job releasing it from firstly the plastic cover then having to virtually destroy the packaging for the item to slide out . Apart from fighting through more plastic we reach the remote , wow what joke the…

Remote Control Redesign - Accessibility
The remote control is all black against a black background - come on FB - how is this accessible to people with sight issues? Whilst I appreciate that there is a voice assistant built in, if you are going to provide a remote control, please at least make sure that it is visible and comfortable for users.
The power button not being at the top is daft - this is where one would expect a standby button. The arrows being dipped makes it difficult to use the buttons above without staring at the remote.
A remote should be usable without…

Portal Kids interface
Based on the same idea from Netflix and a lot of video platforms, it would be a great thing to have a basic Kids interface for Portal with:
- Messengers for KIDS
- Spotify for KIDS
- be able to choose the apps allowed on the device.
- schedule screen time by day
- add a drawing app
- alarm clock
- night light
It’s also will be perfect for story time, I would love to add a Portal in my Daughter room even if she’s only 3. But I need to secure this amazing product to control the usage as much as possible. 🤷🏻♂️😉

Alternate Remote
Again for the Elderly. With older fingers the spin wheel on the remote is tough to navigate. There needs to be an accessible remote that has actual buttons up down left right and OK in the center. My 93 year old mother in law enjoys using the portal, however it takes her a while to answer the calls because the remote is so small

Photos from favorite contacts
My 87yo grandma is heartbroken that you removed that feature from Portal. It was her main way to see updates from her family members living out of the country. She’s way too old to understand how to set albums. It was a great passive way for her to consume new content.

I know - how about adding a chat window like Zoom or closed Captioning like Google Meet?
Then people who are hearing impaired or elderly can actually use the device. There's a word you may have heard of - it's called inclusive of those with disabilities.
Returning the Portal for a full refund today because it lacks this feature that is readily available on Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, and dozens of other free platforms.

Adding normal apps such as BBC Iplayer, ITV, Channel 4, YouTube and an Internet Browser.
By adding normal viewing apps people would be able to buy it to replace their plug in devices such as Firestick or Roku. That's what I thought I was buying. This has proved futile to me. I love the video calling options, but I can not use it to view my normal channels. It means having to plug in a second device, and when a call comes in, switching sources. It's not practical, and it will be returned because it's ultimately pointless.

Allow the Portal TV to stop Zooming and stay in "Full Frame Mode"
With more than one person in the room (on my end) I would like to be able to have the Portal TV STOP zooming on one person and stay in Full Frame mode to display whoever is in the frame (like multiple people sitting on a couch)
