Ability To Go Live In Facebook Groups
I bought this to record videos into my Facebook group. I find it bizarre that a Facebook streaming product doesn't go live on it's Facebook own group or pages. Yet every other device, iPads, Samsung phones do. Like really???

Choose which user to have full screen
While on a call with multiple users, it is hard to fit all the different groups on one screen. There needs to be an option to choose what size you want the different users. or at the very least, choose if you want 1 user to take up the whole screen and have the rest of the groups minimized.

Vertical mode for portal TV
I'm isolating for the next few weeks to support healthcare workers and save lives during covid19 pandemic.
I don't have a TV, and I don't really like having one, but I'd love to have a bigger Portal! The thing is, I'd like to mount the TV vertically so that I can see as much of the person I'm talking to as possible.
I would buya portal TV if there was a way to set it to work with the TV mounted vertically.

Allow WhatsApp set up without the use of a smart phone / QR code for the elderly.
Grandmother is almost 90, she has a standard phone. She does not like tablets or touchscreens hence why we got her the portal due to the voice commands and she can keep up with the family that is currently dispersed across the country. You should be able to create a WhatsApp account without a QR code or just the web version without a smart phone. In the case that is not possible, it would be much obliged at the least if it was clear at purchase that there is no way around it, as the product is targeted at the…

Stop it mirroring image on facebook live - makes it useless for text.
I purchased portal for streaming lectures, but I cant use facebook live as it mirrors the image making it useless for text on a whiteboard.
It works fine for calls, but that is no good for seminars for groups that can then keep the video.
It seems very basic, and is an obvious problem. Who in their right mind would chose to mirror the image in the first place?!

Allow Portals to ship to different Countries in same order
I wanted to buy 2 portals to take advantage of the $50 off promo but the option to ship them to different countries in the same order was not available. I ended up paying double just to have both, one for my parents in Spain and one for us in the US.

Focus on an area isntead of a person much like the option to stay zoomed out. But when my baby is rolling on the floor it doesnt get her
I have to find a spot on the floor next to her and it takes forever and is annoying. The pan option does not work well for us.

Liberte de connexion
Bonjour
J'ai offert un Portal à mon frère qui vit à Dubaï pour communiquer plus facilement ensemble.
Mais sans information du vendeur je ne savait pas qu'il y avait des pays certifiés.
Je propose donc comme suggestion soit d'intégrer une application VPN dans le store du Portal ou d élargir les pays certifié?3 votes -

Always on clock
The clock can only be configured to stay on for a maximum of 1 hour after darkness. I purchased the portal primarily for a bedside clock with the benefit of all of the other features. Portal suggested this was to reduce power consumption but surely an always on clock (dimmed through the night doesn't use that much power). Google and Echo seem to manage it ok!

bluetooth audio during messenger call (yes this doesnt work...)
As explained by customer support, audio over bluetooth only works for portal apps and doesn't actually work during a messenger video call ?!
Instead during a call it only defaults to the portal speakers. When a bluetooth device is connected all video audio output and audio input should be from the bluetooth device. An ability to specify audio output and input would also be nice.17 votes -
Simplify the camera modes with icons
Right now camera mode in use appears briefly only after trying to change it! It would be nice if all camera modes where shown as small icons indicating which one is in use! Furthermore this would allow the users with just tapping one of these icons to change the mode rather than accidental pinch to zoom or taps on the screen
