  • loud and big picture
update:1/22/2021: It is now 1.5 years and the portal+ is still going strong. My original comments still apply. The video call is it's main purpose and best use case. It's still loud and the camera is awesome as it pans to where there is motion or voice. It does work from 25-30 feet away. We have it on continuously so the portal updates itself occasionally. We have had to do a couple reboots in this 1.5 years but in general it works. They did add one capability which I like: I can now create a 'superframe' folder in my facebook account and direct portal to display only those photos in round robin fashion. So now I have control of what gets seen and when. I put a small number of photos into that folder and change the photos periodically. I am still hopeful the other 2 capabilities will show up in the near future (remote administration, auto answer). I got portal plus about 9 months ago. It is great as a video chat device. The main benefit I saw is that display is large and the speakers are loud and voice control is available. This is used for the grandparents who are computer illiterate and somewhat hard of hearing. The speakers are loud so they can really hear me . It's volume is adjustable too for those not so deaf. This loudness was definitely required. When they video chat with me I can hear them fine too so the microphone is sensitive. This means whether they stand up close of talk from the kitchen (30 ft away). The display is larger that a tablet and we put it in landscape mode (can be portrait too) . Our goal is it is a device that just sits there and needs no attention like a landline telephone. It will take multiple calls at once ie video conference so the most we've had is 3 people call at once. All 3 were displayed simultaneously. The other thing that helps illiteracy is they can just answer by saying " hey portal answer". We did not want them to touch the device or initiate call. 'superframe' is what they call the display of pictures when not in a call. So we load it with tons of pictures and somehow it cycles and displays pictures. Not just what I load up but what I also put in their facebook account. I'm unclear as to when and what pictures get displayed. Easy to answer if you have just a few photos but if you have hundreds+ then I don't know which ones get chosen over time. So every week or so I add photos to their facebook account and hope newer ones show up. Lots of other capabilities but it accomplished our main objectives. Some features that I hope will come in future: 1) remote administration - so I can program /adjust as needed 2) auto answer - so I can check up on them and they don't have to do anything to answer 3) superframe - better control of what and when pictures show up. Click HELPFUL if you find this of benefit . ... show more

  • Beats video calls on phones, tablets computers, and the smaller Portal
I use video conferencing apps pretty often for work...Zoom, Google Meet, etc. They work ok, but I don't feel like I'm really there with the other people. Since I live out-of-'town from my family, and travel is not an option during the pandemic, I wanted a way to feel close and stay in contact. I've tried video calls on iPhone, IPad pro (12.9"), computers, and the smaller Portal. They work, but all have their problems. Most issues for me relate to sound quality. Either I can't hear the other people due to my speakers not reproducing voices clearly (or I have to put on headphones but then no one else in the room can hear the conversation), they can't hear me due to my mic or my position to the mic, or the software cuts people off while it negotiates audio input and output at the same time. The smaller screens of phones and tablets are also unpleasant for a call more than a few minutes long. This thing solves those problems. I've also tried the smaller Portal and it was ok, but really not much better than a tablet. The camera tracking was nice, but the audio quality wasn't great and I felt like the screen was too small...which detracts from the experience of mimicking a real visit. The only downside to me is you're locked into the Facebook ecosystem, so as far as I know you can't use it with other services. I'm kind of surprised no competitors have produces something comparable yet. But if you can't visit friends or family and want to keep in contact with them, it's worth it for both parties to get one of these. Two of these would be about the same price as one plane ticket, that you can use it over and over, without catching Covid. ... show more

  • FB Video Call/Zoom Game Changer
I Love our Portal! We mainly use it to call grandma and friends. I bought the smaller version for Grandma so FB chatting was just as easy for her. This is critical for those that don't want to be bothered with video chat. Buy them one, set it up and the family and friends can call all they want. They just have to hit answer button. Easy peasy. It tries to get all the people in the video and even tracks when you move left and right, zooms in and out. Whenever we Zoom, we are always asked, what we are using because it is so cool! Yes! It works with Zoom! You can also set up multiple FB ccounts on it. You can do all the funny faces as you would on video chats and you can do a story time, where you are part of the story as you read to others. Since Grandma also has one, she reads stories to the kiddos. Its so fun! You can watch stuff together on it, but that feature does need to be a little easier. You are limited on what you can watch and it doesn't always work. We use it to play music, YouTube and even recipies on occasion. I seriously love the Portal! I highly encourage you to get one if you are considering it! ... show more
