Feature Request: Bluetooth Conference Speaker+Mic Array or support for others.
FEATURE REQUEST
Bluetooth Conference Speaker+Mic Array or support for others vendors.
USE CASE
In this WFM-era many of us setup conference rooms at our homes in addition to home offices. The bluetooth (BT) feature is great for better sound, and great for private 1:1 calls, but when you also have a conference room/small collaboration group, it would be great to have support for a HD or near-HD quality speaker/microphone table-top unit that pairs with the Portal TV.
FB OPPORTUNITY
I think FB is missing this market and opportunity here. While FB does not have to create the speaker+mic table top unit, if it supported others, that would be an indirect boon -- I would think -- to the sales of the Portal TV.
MY TEST
I tried an OontZ Angle 3 and a Anker soundcore headphone headset. In both tests, only the speaker was transmitted, not the microphone. I wanted to see if the bluetooth worked, before purchasing a higher end conference speaker+mic array unit, but these tests failed the mic test.
Tech Support (David) shared that BT will work with speakers and headsets, but what I described with the OontZ is not supported. Oddly though the Anker soundcore headset did not work either.
So not sure what works for both the speakers and microphone.
Here's hoping -- FB provides a method to support this soon.
