Ability to disable effects and storytime
If there is an option in settings to disable effects and storytime during the video call it would be great. My 3-year-old son always goes to effects and storytime instead of talking.

Longer Power cord
I would like to see a longer powercord it would be so much easier especially for customers whom have parents in nursing homes and can't move. A longer cord would eliminate having to use a powercord and we can put the cord up where it won't be in anyone's way

Chargeable Portal
We shouldn't have to always have it plugged it in to use it. There should be a power button and wired (or wireless) charging capabilities.

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.

Share meeting with link in Zoom
Currently, the only way to share the Zoom meeting is by sharing the meeting ID and passcode, which is very inconvenient, and not user friendly. Can we bring share by link to Portal Zoom?

Photo casting
Development team,
Please do not remove photo casting on December 6.
Photo casting sets you above other videocalling platforms.
The Portal needs the photo casting function, otherwise you might as well just FaceTime and screen share.
Removing photo casting is not a good way to keep customers on board or attract new ones.

Multi-device beta - Whatsapp - incompatible with Portal TV
I sent feedback to the WhatsApp folks and they sent a generic response with a suggestion to contact portal support directly if there was anything further. Portal Support (Rebecca) gave a better response and suggested I also share it there - so:

WhatsApp multi device beta
It seemed to work initially but had an oddity with the portal TV
A) contact names were different, as if multiple entries in address book were filtered differently.
B) calling was unreliable. I suspect related to a above. Phone to phone and messages, perfect.. Video call; my portal tv to other portal TV…7 votes -
Voice to messenger text
Ask the portal to send a text message on messenger. I find it so strange that this is not a function. It only does video messages. This would be a game changer if they could fix this! It seems like a easy fix too.

Allow user to disable the "portal" voice commands
Please give us a way to disable the Portal Plus voice commands. It is beyond frustrating that when I am on a video call and mention the word 'portal' it wakes up & interrupts me, turns my audio down, dims my video while it tries to interpret my conversation as a 'command'!
If it only responded to "Hey Portal" that would be OK, but simply responding to "Portal" is unacceptable.
Obviously turning the microphone off is NOT the solution :-)7 votes -

Why can’t messenger and WhatsApp group calls work on portal?
It’s really embarrassing that Facebook hardware isn’t compatible with standard Facebook-owned apps and functionality that are used the world over. Currently if friends call me as part of a group call it rings on my phone but the portal won’t recognise the incoming call. Please fix this.

Standalone/autonome WhatsApp application
En: It should be great to allow WhatsApp running without phone connected to the same wifi after the portal TV first configuration.
Fr: ce serait bien d'autoriser WhatsApp à fonctionner sans que le téléphone soit connecté au wifi après la première configuration du portal TV

Manual Mode For the Other Caller
Once again, Portal has removed a critical feature, that was a driving factor in my decision to purchase a portal... Bring back the Manual mode for other callers! I use this to call my grandparents, and sometimes they will be far back In the room, or will try to show me things they are holding, and without the ability to control the camera and zoom, many times the "smart camera" will jump to random objects in the room... I understand there are privacy concerns. And I feel this could benefit from a "trusted contacts" list, like mentioned elsewhere. A "trusted…

Return photos from favorite contacts to ambient mode
Before the recent update, it was possible to view new photos from your favorite contacts in ambient (screensaver) mode. This was taken away. Please bring it back! This was the only way for my elderly grandparents to view photo updates from family (as they do not know how to use a computer).
