Product Description
The entire Meta Portal family is video calling designed to bring people closer. Simple to set up and fun to use, Portal is a smart video calling device for a closer connection to friends and family—wherever they are. Whether you’re having meaningful conversations or getting help with a recipe, it’s easy to make smart video calls to anyone via Messenger, Whatsapp, Zoom and more–even if they don’t have a Portal. And once you’ve connected, Smart Camera pans and zooms to keep you in frame so you can move and talk naturally, while Smart Sound minimizes background noise and enhances your voice. Working from home becomes easier as you free up your laptop with a dedicated calling screen for conference calls and screen sharing via Microsoft Teams, Webex, Zoom and Workplace. An expanding AR library lets you blur backgrounds or add effects to liven up calls, while StoryTime uses AR, animation and music to let you tell immersive bedtime stories to loved ones anywhere in the world. And when your calling is done, Portal’s picture perfect frame will display your favorite photos from Instagram, Facebook or uploaded from your phone via the Portal app. With Alexa Built-in, you can control your smart home and connected devices with the sound of your voice. Explore with Portal’s browser and, with additional account activations, enjoy music with Pandora and Spotify or content via Facebook Watch and more—all with room-filling sound. Portal’s simple privacy settings mean you can easily disable the camera and microphone, or block the lens with the camera cover. All Messenger and WhatsApp calls are encrypted. Portal needs a wireless internet connection and AC power. Portal voice command availability varies. Screen images simulated. User experience may vary. Requires wireless internet connection and Facebook or WhatsApp account. WhatsApp is not available on tablets. Features, functionality, and content vary and may not be available on all Portal models or in all areas and languages. Some features may require a Facebook account and downloading the Portal mobile app. Additional account registration, terms and fees may apply. Your employer may restrict your ability to login to third-party video-calling apps on Portal.

Let me start off by saying if you are not a Facebook user than this may not be the device for you. It's for voice and video chatting with family and friends on Facebook or WhatsApp. It has other apps like Facebook Watch and live [Updated, Live is no longer available]. It has Zoom, Bluejeans, Work live and other work services that are not full services. You can't type in the chat. [Update you can use chat features.]
It has Alexa, but it's not a full version. It does not have drop in or call because that is an Amazon feature on the Echos and Dots.
You can ask Alexa questions, you can use routines and skills and you can view Alexa enabled cameras and work Alexa enabled smart devices. I have used those features myself on the portal.
You can use Alexa to play your Spotify, Iheartradio, Amazon music or Pandora accounts. If you don't have those accounts, Iheartradio is the best free one because as of right now, there is no sign in to use it and it does have advertisment.
If you are not a Prime member, you can still use Alexa, just download the Alexa app to your phone, not the Amazon Prime App unless you are a paid Prime member. I have both on my phone because I am a Prime member.
The browser is powered by Google and there are some limitations. You can't use the Facebook camera or microphone on websites. You can watch Youtube videos, you can go to the Amazon website, sign in and watch Prime Videos if you are a Prime member. You can watch movies on the Disney+, Hulu, HBOMax and Philo websites, if you pay for those services. I have also done that on the browser. You can't watch Netflix on the browser because Netflix doesn't allow it. It will only play trailers. A Netflix app may be coming soon on the FB Portal.
You can use the browser to shop, sign in to email accounts, watch your local live news at their websites, watch Youtube or listen to Youtube music with or without a subscription. Just think of it as an extra TV or non portable laptop. You just can't download or upload to the FB Portal.
Now for Non Facebook users. I have another 1st Gen Portal that is no longer connected to Facebook (mainly because I want to use it for entertainment outside) so this option is for you. I used the WhatsApp sign in to activate that Portal. You can only voice and video chat with WhatsApp users (no one really calls me on that app anymore). You cannot use any Facebook features. You can activate Amazon Prime if you are a member and still watch Prime Videos on the browser along with what I mentioned above. You can use Alexa to play your Spotify, Iheartradio, Amazon music or Pandora accounts or use Iheartradio no sign in.
Use the browser like I mentioned above and Alexa.
I love the FB Portal because it's cheaper than a laptop and I just wanted something to do the bare minimal and I didn't want a tablet either. Using Facebook is a bonus because a lot of my family and friends use messenger or messenger rooms. Love the camera when it follows you or zoom in on others in the room.
Overall I am happy with this product and it does everything that I need it do.
Update July 4th, 2021
For you karaoke lovers. You can connect a Bluetooth speaker to the Portal, connect a
Bluetooth microphone to your speaker and go to YouTube on the Portal. On YouTube you can find your favorite song with lyrics or if you have Amazon music (some songs show the lyrics) you can have a fun karaoke party inside or outside. I use my Portal, the entertainment one to do that.
If you decide to use one outside, I would suggest you use it in a canopy tent or not directly in the sun and not in the rain.
You can also use it over a family or friends house if they allow you to use their internet. If it's connected to Facebook you will get interrupted with calls.
One of the standout features is the smart camera technology. The camera automatically follows you as you move around during video calls, ensuring you stay in the frame without the need for readjustments. It makes conversations feel more natural and immersive, especially when you have young kids or pets running around.
The sound quality is excellent, providing clear and crisp audio during calls. The built-in speakers deliver impressive volume and bass, enhancing the overall video calling experience. I found it perfect for catching up with friends and family, even in noisy environments.
Setting up the Facebook Portal was a breeze. The device guided me through the process, and once connected, the user interface was intuitive and easy to navigate. The touchscreen display is responsive, making it simple to access apps and features.
The music, and entertainment features are great when I need to have some sound in the background, or want to pull up a show on netflix.
I also tried using Zoom on this and just WOW, game changer for those that are working from home. Everyone in my conference call was blown away on the video and sound quality.
Also, did I mention how affordable this is? highly recommend this!
I know folks are skeptical of Facebook because of privacy, but I trust this device and delivering on what it says it does. If you aren't a bad person than there really isn't anything you should be afraid of. Did you trust Amazon, Google or Apple the same way?
At the end of it all this device has made video calling with family and friends so easy! it's helped me stay connect with friends and I'm definitely going to be using this for work calls as I continue to work from home.
Meta portal is relatively easy to setup by connecting to your Facebook or multiple applications for music.
The microphone works nicely even from faraway. Just say; "Hey, Portal..." and it is ready for your command. Video quality is good.
Just say "play tango", or "stop music" or whatever you need. It is very responsive to your commands.
As for a slide show, there are some limitations in a size of the file. If it is too large, the picture will be shown 3 times.
You still can browse YouTube or other apps included with a portal or browse the internet (touch screen).
So, if you don't need anything extra, this is a good addition to your home or as a nice, inexpensive gift.
Camera quality is superb, screen is pretty good, speaker is good also.
I use it mainly as a digital frame (I didn't like the fact that you must have a facebook account to use it as a digital photo frame, and also you cannot set a picture to be screened by just selecting it, it will be randomly choose).
In overall i would give it 3.5 stars, as it have very limited functionality, no built in youtube app, but I must take into consideration that it does perfect what it was intended to do, and thats video calling, plus the price is not that bad, hence the 5 stars.
Top reviews from other countries
It came from the USA with their non compatible plug. I then had to source an adapter. This is not acceptable, those adapter plugs are loose fitting and never as good as the dedicated plug and its another item to be lost or mislaid. The AU site should have stated the item as being sourced outside AU with a non compatible factory plug.
That fact may or may not have affected my decision to purchase from Amazon. The delivery time and product was excellent just disappointed no transparency in as above
