Video Voicemail
I would like to be able to record and send video messages to my contacts via portal. Preferably, this feature would be a suggested option if a contact isn’t picking up a call, and it can also be a stand alone option, if I simply want to send someone a video message instead of having a live conversation (like Snapchat).
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!

No, you haven't solved the problem. Photo booth allows you to RECORD messages on Portal, not VIEW them. It's 2021 already... why is Portal not actually useful? And you guys are supposed to be running the Metaverse?

Thank you for the update after 100 attempts to leave video messages the old way. Portal Messenger should have release notes offered to consumers

I was able to leave a recorded video message for the other party, but I see no means for the recipient to retrieve and play the message on their end using their Portal. Both of us are using Portal TVs. I'm aware they are available in Facebook Messenger, but that doesn't help Portal-only users.

We make several calls on Portal that go unanswered. In those cases, we leave a video message. Is there an indicator on Portal that alerts you a video message is waiting? Or, can we only see the message on our Messanger app?

I agree and can’t believe this feature isn’t in there already. What is the first thing we did with phones? Add voicemail. We need to be able to leave video messages back and forth.
