I remember when I was a little girl, watching my favorite cartoon, The Jetson’s. The premise was a futuristic world in which things were easier, modern and convenient. Who knew that one day, I would actually have some of those cartoon technologies in my own home as an adult. Video chatting with family and friends across the country, across the world has never been easier thanks to Facebook Portal. 
Facebook Portal is a home video communication device that makes it easier to connect more regularly with the most important people in your life, and share the little everyday moments that relationships are built on.
I recently traveled to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday and my Facebook Portal+ and Facebook Portal could not have arrived at a more perfect time. I set mine up at home first and tested it out with a few friends and family members in other states. Let me tell you, it is super easy to set up, and with a connect to WiFi, logging into my Facebook account and going through a few quick prompts, I was connected in a matter of minutes. 
Connecting through Portal feels less like being on a video call and more like being together in the same room, even when you’re miles apart.
Features include:
Move and talk freely with Smart Camera
- With Smart Camera, you don’t have to worry about being out of frame. Whether you’re moving around the kitchen, preparing dinner or chasing the kids through the living room, Smart Camera adjusts to follow the action.
- As more people enter the room, Smart Camera automatically widens to keep everyone in view, so you don’t miss a moment.
Private by design
- Facebook doesn’t listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal+ video calls. Calls on Portal+ are encrypted, so conversations stay between you and those you’re calling.
- You can also completely disable the camera and microphone with a single tap or block the camera lens with the camera cover provided.
Connect with friends, even if they don’t have Portal+
- 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.
Alexa built in
- Portal+ has Alexa built in, so you can ask a question, set a timer, add items to your shopping list, control your smart home or more. Just ask.
Experience more together
- With Portal+, story time will never be the same. With music, animation and augmented reality effects, Portal+ lets you become some of your children’s favorite characters as you read along to well-loved stories.
- And if your 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.
Stay close with Superframe
- When you’re not in 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.
- Active Facebook account required for product use.
When we arrived in Florida to visit with my mom, I took my second Facebook Portal unit and set it up for her. She was absolutely delighted and excited that she can not connect with us any time using her portal. My favorite feature is the Superframe – following me wherever I walk and talk.
This is perfect, as she is not able to be with us for Christmas, but thanks to her new Facebook Portal, she can join in the festivities video video chatting to watch as we open her presents.
