Enable Zoom & Google Hangouts Meet on portal
We are a frequent user of Zoom & Google Hangouts Meet. I currently use those services on my laptop. It would be nice if I can use Portal to connect with Zoom & GHM.

Add ability to watch Netflix.
If this had Netflix and/or other streaming services it would make it a multi-purpose tool. I'd buy one instantly for my kitchen. Honestly it was the only think that stopped me from buying.

Allow livestreaming to facebook.
I'm returning my portal because I assumed this was a feature... As an influencer with a large audience I got excited about portal, but alas I misjudged it. At present it's just a non-portable iPad knockoff with only 6 apps and a better camera.
As soon as you add live-streaming, a ton of influencers are going to jump
on this and start using and talking about portal and sales will take off.
You should forward this message to your head of product development.276 votesAs part of a recent software update, the ability to stream on Facebook Live has been added to Portal, Portal Plus, and Portal Mini. Simply select the Facebook Live app on your device and select Start Live Video! As this feature is not available on Portal TV at this time, we are marking this idea as Started. Thanks again to all who voted!

Allow camera and microphone access from browser
This would also solve quite a few other suggestions. We should be able to use the camera and microphone from the browser !!!

Bring back Facebook Live
We have seen the announcement that Facebook is being removed from Portal on the 28th of February. This is a key/core feature of Portal used by a lot of the community and will be a prime reason why many bought the Portal in the first place.
Please u-turn on this decision.

MORE STORIES FOR STORY TIME PLEASE!!!
It is a no brainer. We are all stuck in our homes. I love being able to talk to my grandchildren who live all over the country...Philadelphia, Durango and LA. THEY LOVE STORY TIME!! As, obviously, do I!! But we have exhausted the supply of stories available and have read each one several times. Would it be possible to add more stories? It is such a nice feature but if that is all that is available it is rather disappointing. Thanks for considering adding a lot more stories!!!

Calendar App support; Google Calendar
If I'm going to have a device sitting around for video calls the ability to have a family calendaring app up when not in call would be huge!

Make the YouTube app better.
YouTube used to be better. Now it is the website, not an app. After the initial video, it switches back to small picture/website. It is a real pain now.

Display more photos
Displaying more than 50 photos. When I first got my portal I created a portal slideshow album on Facebook that has over 1000 photos and my portal used to randomly go through all of them. Now it displays the same 50 photos over and over. Why did you guys change this? ☹️

Add more stories to StoryTime
Even 6 stories aren't enough. The kids love doing them but they will bore easily with so few choices.
Please add more!74 votes -

WHY WAS THE LIVE APP TAKEN OFF PORTAL?
Why would you not support the LIVE option on the portal after you new update? I purchased the Portal just for this specific feature, to go LIVE on facebook and have a camera follow me, which was a cool feature. I do not use it for anything else. WHY WOULD YOU NOT KEEP THIS ON YOUR FACEBOOK PORTAL?? Now your consumers cant even use this expensive device for what they purchased it for? where is my refund then?

Kids messenger
Can you put kids messenger on the portal? My kids are too young for devices and to type so they can use the video portion of kids messenger on the portal. Thanks!

PLEASE make Portal compatible with Google Meet
I am an educator. As you know, nearly all school related meetings during the pandemic have been done remotely. Our school system uses Google Meet as a platform for all remote engagements.
After being gifted a Portal (which we are generally enjoying) I spent a good part of this afternoon trying to get it to work with Google Meet. I can go to the site from my Google Calendar, but I am unable to join the meeting because the microphone and camera are blocked - and no amount of fussing with various settings has changed the situation.
I have since…53 votes
