Facebook's Portal Plus Takes Video Calling To A New Level
With this smart display, you'll feel like you're in the same room — even when you're miles away.
Video calling on your phone or tablet is one thing, but seeing and hearing someone through Facebook's Portal Plus is an entirely different experience. This smart display makes you feel like you're in the same room with the person you're talking to, even when they're hundreds of miles away.
The Portal Plus has a built-in smart camera that follows the action, keeping you perfectly in frame when you move around the room. When more people join the conversation, the smart camera zooms out to keep everyone in view. You can instantly connect with your contacts from Facebook and Facebook messenger, even if they don't have a Portal device.
The Portal Plus is built to be private by design, which means Facebook will never listen to, view or keep the contents of your video calls. You can also disable the camera and microphone with a single tap, or you can block the camera lens with the included camera cover.

The Portal Plus has Amazon's Alexa built in, so you can ask questions, set timers, control smart home devices and more all with the sound of your voice. And when you're not video chatting, the Portal Plus displays photos and videos and reminds you of important events.
There's no monthly fee, but the Portal Plus does require an active Facebook account, Wi-FI network and AC power. It's a wonderful, easy way to connect with the family and friends you don't get to see as often as you'd like. For all those times you can't be there, the Portal Plus lets you feel like you are.
