COVID-19 has negatively affected millions of individuals’ physical health as well as their mental health. The social isolation from the pandemic has caused millions of individuals to feel incredibly lonely. If you are looking for a way to connect with family and friends, check out Facebook Portal.
Facebook Portal is a device that lets you “feel like you’re in the same room with friends and family, even when you’re far apart.” In sum, it is a smart video calling with Alexa built-in. Since Alexa is built into the device, users can listen to music, check the front door, display favorite photos, and more — completely hands-free.
One neat feature about the Portal is its Smart Camera. The Smart Camera feature pans and zooms to keep up with the action, and automatically adjusts to keep everyone in view. It also features Smart Sound, which will enhance your voice while minimizing background noise.
