Facebook is bringing Portal video calls to offices
The recently introduced Portal from Facebook video calling devices can now be used in offices for workers to make voice and video calls.

The 8-inch Portal Mini and 10-inch Portal smart devices will be able to speak with up to 50 participants in each video call, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat in an email.

Workplace by Facebook is now available as an app for Portal, which means that it can be combined with Portal on a desk, or in the home.

Workplace by Facebook was spawned out of Facebook for Work, and now has three million paying users, with a million added in the last eight months alone.

Until now, Facebook has positioned Portal as a way to chat with friends and family, but the new work-focused updates suggest Facebook caould be targeting corporates and office workers as well.
