Apart from functioning as a connected TV streaming device, the Portal TV has an AI-powered smart camera that allows for video and WhatsApp calling, story time functions with augmented reality effects and a co-watching feature that allows users to watch together content from Facebook’s Watch service.
Facebook has also added Zoom on Portal, which is available on Portal Mini, Portal and Portal+ in all regions where Portal is sold. The company also expanded its Story Time library and added voice controls for AR Effects in Photo Booth, letting consumers use “Hey Portal” with AR effects to create and send cards and take photos and videos with AR effects.
“Hey Portal” voice control is also now available in Spanish. Users can also specify French, Spanish, Italian and English for on-screen text on Portal.
