Save and recall fixed camera positions using voice control
The weakest part of facebook portal (portal, portal mini, portal tv) is that you have no control over the camera unless you physically interact with the device (in case of the portal tv it is really disappointing that you cannot even fix the position of the camera which is annoying).
Allow users to fix the camera position in all portal devices manually, and then using voice command such as "save camera position 1" to save it.
Next time you make a video call simply say "hey portal, recall camera position 1".
This is a benefit for everyone using portal devices…

Increase target size for Answer Call
Make the answer button touch target 4x the current size. Portal is a wonderful device for elderly users. Often those users have issues with vision. Increasing the answer button size would help tremendously. (just a note - on multiple occasions I've placed a portal in a care facility, and the staff is just amazed by the ease of use - just a little more on the accessibility side, and Portal could become dominate - I've bought 3 portals myself for others in this application)

Return photos from favorite contacts to ambient mode
Before the recent update, it was possible to view new photos from your favorite contacts in ambient (screensaver) mode. This was taken away. Please bring it back! This was the only way for my elderly grandparents to view photo updates from family (as they do not know how to use a computer).

Allow us to connect the Portal 10" to a TV or Monitor
Please remove the software block that stops us connecting the portal 10" to an external monitor or TV with an USB-C to HDMI. This is basic functionality and should be included. It will improve the entire user experience.

Develop an on-line diagnostic tool to check the health and fuctionality of a portal device.
If a user was concerned about whether his portal was functioning as it should be, he could access the internet and have Portal check his device, and then offer suggestions if further help was needed.

Pin & lock features for participants in a group call
2 simple features:
A button to pin fullscreen view on a particular person in a group call so it does not automatically change to anyone else
Another button to lock the view while in a call so that the call cannot be ended by naughty kids in the room who press the red shiny button

Portal Kids interface
Based on the same idea from Netflix and a lot of video platforms, it would be a great thing to have a basic Kids interface for Portal with:
- Messengers for KIDS
- Spotify for KIDS
- be able to choose the apps allowed on the device.
- schedule screen time by day
- add a drawing app
- alarm clock
- night light
It’s also will be perfect for story time, I would love to add a Portal in my Daughter room even if she’s only 3. But I need to secure this amazing product to control the usage as much as possible. 🤷🏻♂️😉

Photos from favorite contacts
My 87yo grandma is heartbroken that you removed that feature from Portal. It was her main way to see updates from her family members living out of the country. She’s way too old to understand how to set albums. It was a great passive way for her to consume new content.

Disable "Rate Call Quality" Pop Up
I know you like the feedback, but this should be something users can disable. Case in point: I placed the portal in my mom's room at assisted living and told her to never ever touch the portal. I have it on battery back up so it never dies. She has dementia and portal is a lifeline of communication. BUT, at the end of every call, the "rate call quality" comes up and she doesn't know what to do (even though I tell her to ignore it... She has dementia so nothing sticks). She touches it and messes up the portal…

Please add a simple 'Video quality' option to the Portal settings .. to help folks in poor internet areas and running via a dongle
I have just bought my mother a Portal and she loves it.
She was not on the internet so I've bought her a dongle, which we need to pay for data for.
Can we please set the data quality to be lower, as we are using so much data which is expensive, Still it's so important to see family face to face.
Appreciate your help.2 votes -
Suspend Ambient Mode when displaying Lyrics on Amazon Music
Suspend Ambient Mode when displaying Lyrics on Amazon Music. Having to walk across the room and tap the screen every five minutes to prevent the photos from taking over isn’t ideal.
