Cool devices!
Plus now supports WhatsApp as well as Messenger (both owned by FB)
Why has no one else implemented this camera tracking feature? I feel like we’re going to look back in 5 to 10 years and say, "Remember when we had to like hold our phone or whatever to stay in the frame? Yeah, we were dumb."
.can we use portal facebook in phillipines
I initially told my family that they shouldn’t buy this it was a waste of money. But, i had just call with my family who got this in Amazon today. I was impressed! they were using macbook and their own phones before to have a call with me and the video / call quality was light years ahead!
I have one and it doesn’t show ads
If all it did was gather how long I spent on a call, I might consider it. You can be sure it can identify everything from the kind of clothes you wear to brand of sofa you own.
Can I use the Zoom app for video conferencing on Portal? Thanks for the video.
Can you go live from your personal page or just do video chat in messenger?
this is really expensive for only using messenger
Many many thanks. A lot of helpful stuffs I have gotten from you earlier
when I was facing the same problem and once again it fix my issue very easily and quickly.Anyone can took the assistance on call by calling the number which is ( 1.800.358.2146 ) I called them & they had make my Day.
I got these and the ones with the screen for family and my self to do the video chat. Well I hooked up mine and my account now asking for mobile number so I typed it in and got a code to type in. Once I typed in the code it said your going to fast. It’s been already few days and I got through it. Now I am being asked to upload a picture of myself so I did and the next day I got a your account is disabled. I asked family to post on the Facebook community page for help and rather then helping they delete the post. I search the page and found lots of scammers posting phone numbers but those post never gets deleted. I ended up creating a new account and I started filling out the city you live in what high school you went to. Once those been set I get a message saying that what I selected was against Facebook policy and now that account is asking me for my ID. I am just going to return it and go with something else. There are also no support phone numbers or email address to contact for support so remember when buying this you got no support if something happens.
Imagine this thing following you when you are not using it lmao 😱😱😱
It’s perfect for bible study all over the world love the idea.
Roach at 2:56 behind small portal 🙂
portal– taught allotted- not ever. kaldean– you are now, exposed as hackers– vs hawaiians and, Swedes.
Yeah that’s it’s going to be a no from me.
er no thanks fuckbook
Cant wait to put one In my house so i can privacy taken away and be watch by a camera that can flow me every ware i go it been proven that facebook watch what u look up to help u find and listens to your conversation try it talk about dog food or buying a new tv it will pop up in ads even school supply
That’s heckin’ crazy. You could get a cheap droid tablet and just run the app on the tablet instead.
I think the tracking fisheye is really cool
I need help with my portal.
Oh Facebook owns it? Nevermind
Hey portal. Turn off.
Portal: Sorry Dave. I am afraid I can not do that.
facebook need to get a jar of vaseline, smear it all over their portal then shove it where the sun dont shine. Almost certainly the best use for it. Nuff said.
Who has a fb anymore?
i think this review is a little too harsh and critical. i think the portal is amazing. it allows me to stay in touch with my family on the west coast and it REALLY feels like I’m there with them. if you have loved ones who live far away, you will be blown by how immersive the portal’s video chatting is
Wow. They’re not even trying to be subtle anymore. Or maybe they still are, in which case, wow, that’s actually kind of sad. Either way, they’re clearly spying on us, selling what we do and say to the United States government.
Waist of money
Facebook privacy…what an oxymoron.
skype is free
funny how people trash on FB when they still use it lol
why would I spend even 5$ for something my smartphone or computer can do?
Can we use it in phillipines
FaceTime must be a joke to Facebook.. This is a waste, plus nobody trusts Facebook.
You can use WhatsApp..not just Messenger

Was that a fly/spider/other that landed behind and to the left of the smaller device on the countertop at about 2:57? It appears to land, then walk to the right.
I know lots of people don’t seem keen on this but am actually considering getting one for my gran. There’s no way she’ll use a pc or smartphone, but she might actually get along with this. Much cheaper than some of the alternative options for video calling oldies.
Who knew we would be locked inside our houses doing zoom meetings all day just a few months after the release of this device…
They should market this as a "I’ve fallen and I can’t get up" version that also has a surveillance option for family checking in on their aging parents.
So I have to have a facebook account to use this? I’ll pass
Comment se faire espionner à domicile. C’est simple pourtant ! acheter cette merde ! 👿👎 N’achetez riennnnnnnn
Where can I get help without cost with my portal mini
Remember, this portal will shut off automatically if it doesn’t agree with what you say or what you believe. I would spend my $ on something more important like Toilet paper or similar.
Yeah 3 PATHETIC MORONIC CRAPTAGS AND MORE WAYS TO BE SPIED ON. WELL DONE IDIOTS.

I want some sort of device to monitor my mother with her permission of course but she doesn’t have wifi and I don’t want to pay subscriptions. Is there anything out there for use in The U.K.? please.
Tengo un portal +, pero no sé inglés y querría configurarlo para español y no soy capaz. Como puedo hacerlo?
