Jeff, from Store #1148 in Rogers, Arkansas, shows you how the Facebook Portal makes staying connected easy and fun. Both the 10" Portal and the 8" Portal Mini have the Smart Camera, which follows you as you move, so you’re always in frame. No more looking at tops of heads—or up people’s noses. Smart Sound eliminates unwanted background noise, for great voice clarity. But here’s where the fun really begins: with the Augmented Reality effects and Story Time. Put a cat on your head, give yourself googly eyes—the options make every call a new chance for fun. With Story Time, you can read animated stories across the miles, and play a role—wearing an AR mask—yourself. It’s a great way to connect with kids when you can’t be there in person, and Facebook is adding new stories all the time. What else is cool about the Portal? Amazon Alexa is built in, so you can check the weather, or call up a recipe, hands-free. Your security is assured with encrypted calls, and you can easily disable the camera or microphone when you’re not using it. And, your friends on the other end don’t have to have their own Portal—you can connect with smart phones and tablets through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Finally, when you’re not using your Portal, it’s a digital picture frame—upload your favorite face as a reminder of who to call next!
