Smart Home Security Camera Support
I love this portal but doesn’t support smart home camera (Arlo) that works with Alexa.
Facebook live would be a great tool for small business owners
Thanks again for submitting this feature request. As part of a recent software update, we included more Alexa skills on Portal. That means that if you have an Alexa-compatible security camera, it should now be available to view and use on Portal as well (assuming it has been set up within Alexa)! We hope you enjoy this new feature!

My Swann security cameras work with Amazon Echo Show via Alexa but when I try to connect the same security cameras through Facebook Portal asking Alexa to show camera 1 Alexa says ok but then says I’m not sure what went wrong. I would appreciate any help in fixing this problem.
Thanks. -

You've now integrated Ring Doorbell with my Facebook portal and I thank y'all and really love that.
However, I only appear to have 1 way communication with the doorbell which is doorbell audio to portal. Portal cannot seem to speak to the doorbell. Can this be fixed please?

Wyze is a great affordable camera to integrate

Put this idea under review already please.
You have Amazon Alexa integration. Amazon echo show supports ring doorbell video feature. Y'all should also too please

Like you can on the Echo Show, provide support for viewing cameras on the Portal. Show me the front yard...

Built an option by which we can toggle this camera to a security camera mode by which we can montior our home while we r away. This will be fantastic . It will be even better we we can pan and tilt it like it does in a video call. It can also be a baby monitor as well with voice intercom.

This is a continuation from the other smart home question.
This option should have been standard on the release of the facebook portal.
Considering its not and many other devices like the portal have it = more people avoiding this product for a far inferior device.Facebook get on this with the Alexa integration .... increase profits .. Make clientele happy? WIN WIN in my books

I will second or (4-5-6-7th) LOL this option .
Almost all other smart displays have the ability to access smart home devices if you tell it to show your backyard or whatever for example .
Its a feature that should have been included upon the release for the Facebook Portal.
Considering the size of the unit is much larger than its competitors having this option to show your cameras on such a large screen would be smart marketing considering like I just said the screen is larger than its competitors and more vibrant .Facebook .. wanna make some more profit.. include this feature.

It would be great to have Portal interact with the Ring Doorbell. Is it in the future?

+1! This is a major gap compared to the echo show that's not well advertised. With support for ring, etc it'd be a great device.

Almost everyone I know has a RING doorbell. Please add this support for the Portal -

I'd really like to be able to "show Nest Cameras" like I can on Echo Show.
I don't really want to escape Facebook world, but only for "apps".

Yes very disappointed when Ring Doorbell wasn’t supported by the built in Alexa. Portal customer support said Alexa had limited features which there is no mention of this online or on tv commercials. Very disappointed as I bought 4 of the portals as gifts
