Ability to change the wake word
We have our entire house covered by multiple Echo devices ( six so far) so we can control the house from anywhere. All the devices have one wake word. Because the portal does not allow the wake word change I have two devices next to each other to perform all functions. I don’t want to change all the devices to Alexa to match the portal because when we had that as a wake word before and it responded to too many similar words.

Allow correction of proper name pronunciation
The portal mispronounces proper names and does not allow a means to correct this like Siri does.

Needs voice dictation
The on screen keyboard needs to have the microphone button like all cell phones. Typing out on the screen, especially on the browser, is labor intensive.

Needs a flashing screen for hard of hearing customers
My father is hard of hearing so he wears headphones to listen to his television. He doesn’t hear the portal when I call. If the screen flashed when I called he would see it to answer.

Support Alexa routines
Support Alexa routines and activities from the Alexa app. Right now you can't set any activities on the portal from the Alexa app. Portal only does timers and reminders set via portal.

Let Superframe use the Videos album
All videos posted to my timeline are assigned to my Videos album under Photos. Unfortunately, the Videos album is not available for selection for display by Superframe, and it's not possible to move videos into other photo albums that can be accessed by Superframe.

Allow actual search on the Food Network app
All you can see now is videos designated for the portal.... my portal is in my kitchen and I would really use it to be able to cook.... since the app is there, why is there no search capability?!

Allow adding apps other than your chosen few. I may return this because it really doesn’t do much.

I am going to need some video support for my ring doorbell and wyze cams. I bought 4 portals for my family instead of echo shows.
Video support for smart cameras. It would also make a great Directv now streaming device. You could be in the kitchen cooking and watching some games or kitchen shows.

using Portal commands
I listen to Pandora on Portal, but when Portal closes Pandora, the music still plays and the app is still running. Yes, I can pause the music, but the app isn't closing, it's just being hidden. I still have to reboot to actually close the app.
Quite a disappointing option for a high end tech device.9 votes -
Rechargeable battery that snaps onto the bottom of the Portal
This would allow you to be able to move throughout different rooms of the home without have to unplug the unit and disconnect the call and it would also add extra weight to avoid tipping over.

External Speaker Connectivity
I don't buying a USB-C to Audio IN adapter but since using the USB C voids the warranty ( !!!!) PLEASE make it consumer usable. Bluetooth is great but if I am streaming music I want to hear throughout the whole first floor (like I currently use my Echo Dot for), I need to be able to truly connect (not Bluetooth) a good external speaker! This also piggybacks on someone else's request to Allow Portal to work with Alexa's Multi-Room Music ...

Make Portal kid friendly
Please consider adding parental controls as well as the ability to use messenger kids. We purchased the portal because my 5 yo stepdaughter lives across the country and thought the portal would make communication easier. The device seems very limited right now. We hope to be able to block access to the web browser.

Offer ringtone options for specific contacts.
The default ringtone is somewhat subdued and I would like to have special ringtones for family members.
