    As always, thanks so much to everyone who voted for this idea! As part of a recent software update, the ability to move the self-view window during a call has been added to Portal, Potal+, and Portal Mini devices. Simply touch your self-view and drag it to another corner of the screen! As this functionality is not available on Portal TV at this time, we will be marking this idea as started. Thanks and enjoy!

  3. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Integrate with messenger for kids

    Since this is focused on the kids and keeping families connected. It would be nice to have the ability to integrate messenger for kids in,instead of it only having all of my contacts which is numerous.

    I only want to see the 3-4 people on my calling list. Not my entire friends list.

  11. Allow Portal TV to manual zoom

    Portal TV currently does not support this great feature that is in the other Portal devices --being able to manually select the zoom amount. For some instances where you want to have a room to room experience, the auto-zoom actually zooms too much for a large TV screen.

  14. 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.

  15. Bring back the ability to transfer between Portal and Messenger app on phone

    There used to be the option to transfer an active call from the Messenger app on my phone to Portal or pull an active call from Portal into Messenger. Please bring it back! Since Portal needs to be plugged in, that feature was easier to continue long calls while moving about the house.

  17. Facebook Messenger Group Chats into Portal.

    It would be so good if you could take an existing group chat from Facebook Messenger and dial everyone at once via Portal? With the recent isolations being able to bring the whole family in to a video call at once would be great (rather than having to start with one person and then layer on each person in turn).

  20. Allow Portal to work with Alexa's Multi-room music
