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.

Live-streaming periscope or YouTube
Periscope or YouTube live-streaming would make the portal even more awesome!

feature addition
add the ability to send photos in the WhatsApp chat with Meta Ai. For example: I send a photo of a math problem for it to solve, evaluate my text and correct grammatical errors, in short, in cases where sending a photo would be more efficient than writing in text

continue to enable casting of photos
Please do not remove the casting of photos from the portal. They have a great source of pleasure for my mother.

Enable Alexa Announcements on Facebook Portal
Alexa Voice Services have made Announcements feature available to all third-party, Alexa enabled devices. However, this is not enabled on Facebook Portal.
This prevents Facebook Portal from being used as a speaker for Alexa Routines, or a screen for routines like - display my Ring doorbell when someone rings it. It's a simple fix it seems, and would unlock a huge extra range of functionality on the device.

Reinstate remote spotlight control
When calling my disabled sister I used to be able to spotlight her face using my portal (ie remotely). She does not have the mental capacity to do this herself and my inability to do this has reduced the level of monitoring and care of which I used to be capable. Please reinstate this feature.

Story Time
Please put 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed back in the rotation. Our granddaughter looks forward to this story every evening. Try explaining where it went to a two year old. We haven’t seen her in 4 months due to Covid and it’s been a nightly ritual for our family !

Personalise Ring Tone - leading to Auto Answer for the elderly
In terms of Diversity and Inclusion, there are many people who are startled by sudden ring tomes and may be confused as to where they are coming from.
It would be great to be able to personalise a ring tone to say "David is calling you on the Portal..."
Or even better..."David is calling you on the Portal... hey Portal, answer" that would effectively then auto answer the unit. Something that has been repeatedly asked for on this forum.

Please add Portal TV video streaming apps such as Crave and Amazon Prime Video to all other Portal devices; currently these are only available in the web browser. Also consider adding other video streaming services such as Fibe TV, Disney+ and Netflix.

Portal TV remote mic as hand microphone
Ok so... my idea is simple, I know there already 8 microphones, and I know it’s working well. But I think having the possibility to use the remote as a proximity mic can be very useful. When you want to whisper or maybe your living room is so big that having the remote in your hand or chest pocket will help to increase the audio quality.

Rechargeable battery capability
Would be ideal if Portal Mini had rechargeable battery built in so that unit could be easily moved to different locations. Often in kitchen during day but would be handy to move to living room in the evening. Quite restrictive having the cable plugged in. You would be able to unplug and move with or without cable without losing call.

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?!

HDMI pass through for Portal TV
The Portal TV seems like a great option to connect to your family, but switching inputs is too complicated a task for seniors. It would be great to have a new Portal TV that has a pass through to the traditional set top box and overtakes the image in case of a call. It would make the experience so much more usable.
