A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment.<\/p>\n The Portal line debuted in 2018 with two displays<\/a> meant as dedicated video calling stations. They also supported apps for activities like listening to music on Spotify and streaming videos on the Food Network. But the displays had limited functionality, and their connection to Facebook \u2014 which was dealing with the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal \u2014 didn\u2019t offer a lot of assurance as to the safety of inviting a connected camera into your home.<\/p>\n New versions have been released in the time since, including the portable Portal Go<\/a>, but the device never became a huge hit. The research firm IDC estimates that Meta shipped 800,000 Portals in 2021, accounting for less than 1 percent of the global smart speaker and display market, according to The Information<\/em>. Meta currently sells four Portal products, from a $99 TV-connected camera to a $349 smart display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
