Long overdue. Why is it taking so long

Yes Zoom is needed, it’s great to use portal but without zoom my use is limited to WhatsApp calls
Come on Facebook sort this out, can’t be that hard

A lot more Portal TV's would be flying off the shelf if zoom were supported, how much more incentive do they need to get this sorted?

I feel the same. All I want to know is when they estimate the app will be ready.

I bought it under the expectation of Zoom coming to portal tv and have been very disappointed so far, today they send out an email “get portal for Mother’s Day” which has a replies email address, my reply is ‘not until Zoom is on portal tv’ , as others have said ours has been used a couple of times but zoom is the one that all the clubs etc need. The worst thing about it is having no way to feed back the opinion or feature request vote officially. Imagine what the support is like if I ever needed it.

I agree with the masses one of the major features I wanted with Portal TV was the ability to have zoom, most clubs, workouts, quizzes etc all use zoom.
Can we have an ETA of when this will be available, last update was the end of last year.

Bought a Portal TV last November on the marketing promise that Zoom was “coming soon” but it's still not here 4 months later. This is very poor when it's on the other Portal devices.
Wouldn't be an issue if there was some easy way to use with other people who don’t have Facebook at their end.

I contacted facebook portal via their webchat system. They've advised the Zoom app is still in development for the Portal TV and will be followed through, but stopped short of giving an actual release date. So, seems like its coming but who knows when!

Are there any ways to nudge about a status update for this?

@admin @facebook folks - missing a trick here. Almost 400 users already making noise about wanting this. Think about all those users too lazy to complain. All we are after for moment is an update on if this will still come.

The lack of progress or even an update regarding zoom on portal tv is really very poor indeed. What is going on?

My patience on this matter is starting to wear thin. This update has been promised for an age.
What the **** is going on Facebook?

Feels a little miss sold without zoom on portal tv! This is a must.

I'm guessing that due to the lack of response from FB or Admin on this thread, and that the functionality was meant to have been released last year, but then got pushed, this is now being dropped by FB and we won't be getting Zoom on Portal TV.

I purchased portal tv thinking the App Store would be similar to how it’s mentioned on website and other forums. Hence am quite disappointed that it has some 7-8 pre setup apps and doesn’t have stuff like zoom. Makes my purchase underwhelming !

Just like the 83 people below, I purchased a Portal TV with the sole intention of using it for Zoom calls for me and for my daughter, during lockdown. I was very disappointed that after throwing away the packaging, I learned that Zoom is not yet available on Portal TV, yet it is available on all other Portal devices. The website did not make it clear that Zoom is only available on Portal touch devices at the time of purchase.
Now sitting gathering dust on my TV until Zoom, Google Meets and/or Teams are made available. -

I think it would help if someone from Portal could give an answer to when Zoom will be available on Portal TV. Very disappointing.

Completely agree. Zoom for the Portal TV makes so much sense for working from home and small business as the TV we have in the office is much more appropriate for meetings. A timeframe or update would be really appreciated.

My Portal TV has been sitting on top of the screen for months now, completely unused, and - for my purposes - virtually useless. Like so many people, I bought it to use with Zoom, and I still can't believe that that's not possible, particularly as a) all the other Portals can do it, and b) Zoom is as ubiquitous as Google now, and it's crazy for Portal not to have taken advantage of the opportunity. Does anybody from Portal read these posts? Does anybody from Portal actually care a jot?
