Allow Portal to take Wide Angle Photos
It would be really cool to have Portal take a wide angle photo! The camera on this thing seems pretty awesome and the wide angle is so unique compared to any smart phone or normal camera around. It would be super great to just ask Portal to take a photo and post it!
Good news! As part of a recent software, we released the Photo Booth app on Portal. Photo booth allows you to take photos and short videos with your Portal and send them via Facebook Messenger. Enjoy!

My photo booth is greyed out. It won't allow me to use it or story tiime.

I have portal TV. Why can’t we have this option too?

Would also love to have this option to be enabled or disabled during video call.

I think we should be able to take photos either on or off video chat calls.

Please fix it where it can take pics, sometimes I need to take pic of grandson since we only see him every few months and babies grow fast. That is the reason I bought two portals one for him and me and he is 19months old and calls me anytime he wants too. Also the other thing is the portal not having a battery and that causes us to have keep it plug in. It would be nice to have a battery to move from room to room if the concept is not open to see everywhere the person you are speaking to moves.

I was thinking the same thing! During my NYE party, it would have been so cool if people could gather by the Portal and take group photos with each other. If it could have the option to send it through messenger to yourself (or your friends) so you could gather quality group photos (or even just single person selfies) and make a nice album to post later, that would be amazing. It frames people so well and the camera is great. Would be amazing to actually use it as a camera!
