Facebook could bring important streaming services to its TV portal

According to The Information, he contacted Netflix, Disney, Hulu (controlled by Disney), HBO and Amazon to offer their services on the new device.. It seems that Facebook considers streaming services as an additional selling point for the camera. Its main purpose is to make video calls via Messenger and WhatsApp. The system is also likely to include augmented reality features that could allow users to interact with virtual objects, such as children's books, while they are in communication.

If this sounds familiar to you, Facebook said at the April F8 developer conference that portal users could access Amazon Prime Video via smart display. He added YouTube and news channels to the device in December. Portal also uses artificial intelligence to track people with the help of its camera as they move through the rooms. The video chat unit will apparently offer a similar feature.

Facebook would expect the video chat feature, with a remote control, to be released in October. The company's chief of material, Andrew Bosworth, recently said Facebook would unveil Portal's "new form factors" this fall.
