However the BEST feature is the automatic face detection and camera tracking. It follows the girls all over our living room, keeping them in frame so their grandparents can always see them. It isn't 100% perfect, but it is a huge improvement over not having ng this feature and just trying to follow them with the phone. Surprised - I thought this was a pointless product, but now that I have one, it is the only way I want to video call
Fwiw, the Alexa and FB assistant I tegratio s are nice, and the speakers are quite good quality (and powerful). We listen to Pandora, Amazon music, and lots more on here daily.
I will probably buy one of these to replace it once I give this one to my grandfather. There are really great for connecting with family.
The camera follows you wherever you go, and you can change that if you want to. The audio gets so loud. And the portal is very solid!! Highly recommend it.
I purchased this with the express purpose of using it for zoom meetings at our office when the public shows up. Fairly easy to set up the zoom call and the video follows you around the room as you walk around. I'd be tempted to use it as my main zoom method if I was more of the standing desk type. It went above the original purpose as both easy to use and great for calming music with aquarium videos via YouTube. One downside is the annoyance of limited music streaming apps and other video apps. If they can provide more apps like Disney+ or things with kid-friendly content, I'd have more options for bored kids.
Couple of Tricks:
Having an active screen of serene items can be done by going to YouTube (as seen in video)
If you have an Alexa account, I'd suggest using it for general questions (play music, what's my schedule, call x)
Use the "Hey Portal" phrase to open apps or adjust settings (NOT Alexa)
Be careful of the button on top that turns off the mic (otherwise you spend 5 minutes yelling at it)

The item has no problem calling with Facebook Messenger. The music is nice too, with good bass. The bass of echo show 10 2nd gen is better. The size of the screen is good, when you are calling someone from the phone, portrait is good. The nice thing about this device is that the camera follows when you move. The microphone has a good reception.
Bluetooth Headset
When you connect your bluetooth headset it worked and the built in speaker and mic will be muted.
Camera
The camera is very clear and sharp. Augmented reality is also good.

It can be connected with Facebook and WhatsApp calling. I am not sure about others.
But apps are very few in this device which I don’t need though. Spotify , Pandora ,Alexa , and portal app is integrated.
It can be used as a photo frame too. Wow
I love it and hope you will love it too.
