Amid privacy violation allegations earlier this year, Facebook has launched a new series of more secure Portal devices. The first difference noted by CNET\u2019s Senior Editor Megan Wollerton is that the display can auto-rotate from landscape to portrait mode, allowing people to maximise its use for various purposes. The fact that it can be used like a tab and a laptop display with the camera following people around, so you can talk to someone completely hands-free while doing other things, can be especially helpful for learners.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook has claimed that the Portal devices don’t listen to, view or record video calls. Portal video calls are encrypted; the camera and microphone’s AI technology runs locally on the devices themselves \u2013 not on Facebook servers. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a simple move, the Portal ensures maximum security with software switches in device settings allowing you to turn off the camera and microphone, as well as a mechanical mute switch and a physical camera cover if you want to be extra cautious.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cherry on top?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Portal can do anything an Amazon Echo<\/a> device can do, thanks to its built-in Alexa, which means controlling smart devices or employing Alexa’s numerous skills.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds like the ultimate device for e-learning sessions! Check out the video to learn more on how to use the Facebook Portal devices.
