How do I connect my zoom account to my Portal? We don’t do videoconferencing every second - when we’re alone, it helps to be able to play a song or a podcast on Spotify.įacebook plans to add support for the apps in September.Facebook has added Zoom calling to Portal TV, providing users with the ability to make video calls for work or pleasure on a much bigger screen By Nick Woodard Published Facebook is adding Zoom support to its Portal TV devices, allowing users to hold conference calls on the big screen. The addition of these apps to Workplace would make them more attractive for professionals, and the Portal has a few entertainment options that make it even more valuable to remote workers. Remote working is on the rise out of necessity, and it’s an attractive thought to have a dedicated smart display to use for videoconferencing. I suspect Facebook’s taking advantage of the world situation, adding in functions we’re all using more than usual to try and get us to buy their little screens. Instead of logging into Portal with Facebook or WhatsApp, you will have the option of creating a free Workplace login in the coming weeks.” To use the company’s own words in today’s announcement: “ We’re also adding a way for you to use Portal as a dedicated work device for calling co-workers and participating in meetings. Facebook’s rolled out Workplace, its answer to Slack, on Portal earlier this year. The company emphasizes the Portal’s use as a business tool, which it’s been slowly building up for a while.
