Enable Alexa video skills
Portal really should have full Alexa functionality, most importantly, Alexa video skills. The limited version of Alexa that is built in to Porta does not take advantage of the screen or the many video skills that Alexa has, such as video news, screensaver videos, games, Amazon Prime Movies and Shows, cooking videos, etc. Defeats the purpose of having a screen; I could get an Echo Dot for $19.99 instead.
Portal needs to be more than a one trick pony video calling device, as great as the video calling us. Has so much more potential and a shame that it is…59 votes -

Option to remove suggested contacts
I'd rather only see my favorites than the suggested contacts. Video calling from home is personal and something I'd prefer for a curated lost of close family and friends, not algorithmically selected contacts by Facebook.

I would love to see the pictures my favorites post, not only pictures they are tagged in.
I would love to see pictures my favorites post on their page in the superframe, rather than just what they are tagged in. We bought a portal for my sister, my mom and myself to help us stay close when we move. I would love for them to see the pictures I am posting, it doesn't make sense for them to see what I am tagged in. Sometimes pictures you are tagged in aren't what they will want to see. Please add this feature!

Fixed Weather and Large Clock Superframe Screensaver (no pictures transitions)
It would be great to have a Superframe screensaver option that stays on the weather display and that doesn't transition through pictures. It would also be cool to add a large clock screensaver that doesn't transition. A retro flip clock would be super cool, but just a large clock would be fine too.

The camera should be able to convert from a smart camera to a regular wide camera
When I video called using my portal, there were 4 people in total with me and it kept on focusing on one or two people only. If there was an option to have it be a regular camera when needed and then can be a smart camera that follows people, this would come in handy a lot.

Needs much more Alexa and app support an
I need portal to support device groups through Alexa or I am taking a step back in home tech. I have many echo devices I my home and this was to replace the hub but it does not. Also needs to support Ring Video doorbell as well as other home hub devices. I plan on returning my portal until and unless these features are supported.

remote administration
Allow remote administration to change settings. Got my mom one and due to another issue related to the superframe not shutting off and keeping her awake, she had the staff in her retirement community 400 miles away just unplug it. Other simple photo frames allow this.

There should be a Facebook app on this device!!
Since this is made by Facebook there should be a Facebook app on this device, not just browsing to it on the browser.

Allow acess for Facebook messenger
Allow users that do not have a smart phone or tablet to use FB messenger to access portal. Its not fair to ask someone you want to video chat to, to have to buy a portal. Especially if this was a gift so grandparents can see the grand kids. Some computers do not have a camera on them so this feature would be great.

If I have a portal device I should receive ALL messenger calls on it even if the caller has no idea that I have a portal!
I should also be able to send/receive text messages via messenger using voice-to-text too.

Allow longer video recording and saving / uploading
I want to use Portal + to track me as I make a selfie video or during a practice / workout session. This has a great camera and mic, can we use it to make videos? Please? No more selfie stick and poor sound quality
76 votesThanks for providing this feature request. As part of a recent software, we released the Photo Booth app on Portal. Photo booth allows you to take photos and short videos with your Portal and send them via Facebook Messenger. However, as this idea seems to be more about recording and saving longer videos, we’re going to leave this one open and change the title to better reflect this. Thanks!

Activate Self-view While Not In Call
Portal should provide a setting to activate the camera (i.e., Self View) while not in a call. This would be very useful for tasks such as framing, verifying field of view, troubleshooting, etc.

Manual Zoom set up
Its great to have a camera that follows you, but it would be great to set up the zoom myself as an option.
