handoff facebook video chat between devices (desktop/mobile/portal)
allow users to start a video all or Room on one device, and then pass it off to another device without disconnecting and creating a new chat session. For example, user starts a video chat on their desktop, and then passes off the video to the Portal in their living room, and then passes off to their mobile device where they can take it in the car when they leave the house.

My entire reason for getting a portal TV is that I hate being stuck holding my phone. I want to be able to move around my apartment and do my chores and have my caller follow me around. That way I won't be stuck in one room. I want it to be more comfortable to have a casual conversation as if the other person was visiting. I can do that with audio, but for some reason some people always video call me, lol! I don't think it would be that difficult to do with a software upgrade so long as both devices were on the same wifi network. If anything it could be a "group chat" with the two devices occupying a split screen on the other person's device.

That sounds difficult but would be nice in some circumstances.
