Connecting through Portal feels like being together in the same room, even when you're far apart. And Portal makes it easier to connect more regularly with the most important people in your life.
Whether you're moving around the kitchen or chasing the kids through the living room, Portal's Smart Camera adjusts to follow the action.
As more people enter a room, Smart Camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so you don't miss a moment.
Portal enhances the voice of whoever is talking, wherever they move in the room, and minimizes unwanted background noises.
You can completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap. This mode physically disconnects the camera and microphone, and they cannot be turned back on without pressing the button again.
Portal was created with privacy, safety and security in mind. And it has clear and simple settings, so you stay in control.
You can completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap, or block the camera lens with the camera cover provided.
Facebook doesn't listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls. Your Portal conversations stay between you and the people you're calling.
For added security, Smart Camera uses AI technology that runs locally on Portal, not on Facebook servers. Portal's camera does not use facial recognition and does not identify who you are.
Like other voice-enabled devices, Portal only sends voice commands to Facebook servers after you say, "Hey Portal." You can delete Portal's voice history in your Facebook Activity Log.
Use your voice to easily call friends and family on Messenger -- calls can be made seamlessly to and from smartphones and tablets. And you can bring up to six other people into a group call.
With Portal, Story Time will never be the same. Become some of your children's favorite characters as you read along to well-loved stories. And if friends or family also have Portal, you can listen to your favorite music together as if you were in the same room, without delays or feedback.
With music, animation and augmented reality effects, Portal lets you get into stories like never before.
Enjoy your favorite songs, albums or playlists with your friends. Sing along or have a dance party from miles away.
Portal has Alexa built-in, so you can ask a question, set a timer, add items to your shopping list, control your smart home and more. Just ask.
When you're not on a call, Portal can display your Facebook photos and videos. You can also see when your closest contacts are available to connect, and get birthday reminders.
Play your favorite music on Portal, and powerful speakers will fill your room with rich, hi-fi sound.

When you turn on Home and Away, Portal will use your mobile phone and Portal's location to know when you're home and available to call. You'll still get calls on Messenger when you're away.
