This is SUPER disappointing that it has to stay plugged into an outlet to function. That means, in most cases, it would have to be fairly close to a wall, and when in reality, I would imagine, most people would be moving it to a central location in a room to make video calls, or move around the kitchen if using it for recipes, or other things like that. We purchased three for Christmas presents and unfortunately we will have to return them because of this feature, or lack there of. The cord is not long enough to reach from our wall to our coffee table, which is where we do most of our video calling with my family. I just can't believe that Facebook engineers or design team didn't consider this a functionality that most people would want. Do better Facebook.
