Remove the need for a Facebook or WhatsApp account.
The need for a Facebook and/or WhatsApp account when spending a lot of money on this product is non sensible.
Older people may not have WhatsApp or Facebook accounts, but want to be able to use this device.
Children, who cannot sign up for a Facebook account or have a mobile phone are also unable to use this device.
At a bear minimum, there should be an option to have a "portal" account, and so portals would be able to call other portals.
I have purchased 7 for the family as thought it would be fantastic, but the theory seems…

It would be a good idea to allow the television to pick up a video call from WhatsApp rather than having to call someone back
It would be a good idea to allow the television to pick up a video call from WhatsApp rather than having to call someone back At the moment you can only make calls direct because there isn’t enough time to switch the input on the television by the time you do that you’ve missed the call

I don't find Portal+ useful unless you add Zoom, Webex, and any apps to download.

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. -

features/settings
My portal no longer has option for incoming calls setting to allow you to set calls only to come to portal when you are home. It used to have feature that would only ring portal if my phone was at home. If I was away with my phone it would not ring on portal unit only my phone. Recently this has changed and calls are going to portal unit at home as well as my phone when I am away from home. I spoke w/ customer support and was advised that for some reason this feature was removed now only…

It is really difficult to find podcasts through verbal search or even typing
Allow a better search option that is more thorough.

If a timer goes off or notification of any sort, main view is minimized and can't be restored.
I'm talking with someone and the timer goes off or a reminder comes up. The large screen to view them is minimized and can't be restored to full screen view. My mom was trying to show me something and I couldn't see what it was. Would have to hang up and call again for full screen view.

Adjust screen view of other members in chat
While chatting with more than one other caller, the screen cuts in half, which usually means we can only see one person on the screen. My husband and I chat with our families using the portal, and we shouldn’t have to sit on top of each other just to be seen (and same for the people we call). Is there a way to keep the screen view/width the same with multiple callers as it is with just one other caller?

Add the ability to add the portal to Alexa device groups
I love my home automation and would love to have the full featured Alexa in the device so I don't have two devices in my kitchen.
One feature I am missing is the ability to add the portal to a group so it can turn a room lights without specifying what room I am talking about.
Right now the portal is invisible in groups.

Closed captioning
Adding closed captioning on video calls will have a huge positive impact on the deaf and hearing impaired community. This is a large system upgrade but well worth it.

Add additional services
I would like to use the portal as a photo frame without the need to be signed up to Facebook. it shouldn’t be a problem for anyone to upload their own photos to the device.
Also. I was interested in the PORTAL TV, but once again. It is limited to WhatsApp calls if you don’t want to register with a Facebook account. With the current pandemic and lockdowns, people are lonely and it would be a real seller if Facebook joined forces or had an agreement to share other video conferencing apps such as Skype, FaceTime, Houseparty, Kahoots etc1 vote -
Record video chats
During this time being "sheltered in place" it would be nice to use the portal to make online posts with video chat guests it has a much better camera than most computers and much easier to use instead of a phone.

add Facebook functionality to Portal TV.
Can you add a Facebook app so that we can scroll our Facebook wall on the Portal TV, and maximize Facebook live video streams that friends have on their individual walls? During the pandemic I have been following various singing entertainers who give free concerts and it would be nice to be able to pull these up and watch them live on my TV.

Lock screen during call so young children/toddlers cannot interfere with call (by say turing on 'manual mode')
I use portal to talk to my sister young nephews. My toddler nephew plays around with the portal during the call, which is disruptive (like ending the call or turning on 'manual mode'). We would like an option to lock the Portal during a call (say by setting up a pin) so that the touch screen is inactive.
