Facebook plans to extend the range of options for video meetings using its Portal displays with the ability to download apps from video conferencing vendors including Zoom and Cisco.
The Portal video hardware was originally launched as a consumer device in 2018 with access to Facebook’s WhatsApp and Messenger apps before the company added support for Workplace – its enterprise collaboration platform – last year.
The display, which includes an AI-powered “smart camera” to track body movements of speakers during calls and “smart sound” control, can be used for one-to-one conversations between remote colleagues, as well as access to broadcasts via Workplace Live.
