Facebook Portal is a brand of smart display devices developed by Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, Inc.. The devices are designed to facilitate video calling and video conferencing through the use of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
Features[edit | edit source]
Facebook Portal devices come equipped with a touchscreen display, camera, and microphone array. They support voice commands via Amazon Alexa and have built-in artificial intelligence features for smart camera functionality, which automatically pans and zooms to keep users in the frame during calls.
Video Calling[edit | edit source]
Portal devices allow users to make video calls to other Portal devices, as well as to smartphones and tablets using Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. The smart camera technology ensures that users remain in focus and centered during calls, enhancing the video conferencing experience.
Privacy Features[edit | edit source]
Privacy is a significant concern for users of smart devices. Facebook Portal includes several privacy features, such as a camera cover to physically block the camera lens, a microphone and camera disable button, and encryption for calls made through Messenger and WhatsApp.
Models[edit | edit source]
Facebook Portal is available in several models, including:
- Portal: The original model with a 10-inch display.
- Portal Mini: A smaller version with an 8-inch display.
- Portal+: A larger model with a 15.6-inch display and a rotating screen.
- Portal TV: A device that connects to a television to enable video calling on a larger screen.
Reception[edit | edit source]
The reception of Facebook Portal has been mixed. While praised for its video calling capabilities and smart camera features, concerns have been raised about privacy and data security, given Facebook's history with user data.
