On Facebook, you can use the Portal devices but not Portal TV, which brings video chatting to the television. The Zoom for Home program includes access to a calendar on the devices.įine print galore: Zoom for Home will work only with the Amazon Echo Show 8, not the other versions of the Echo. Zoom will sell a dedicated unit, with a 27-inch screen, from DTEN for $599, this month. It's part of a new Zoom for Home initiative to bring the networking service to home devices.

Jeff Smith, the head of Zoom Rooms, says users found it a 'challenge' to make laptops and phones work during Zoom meetings, so the company wanted to make the experience more 'natural' for them. The Echo Show 8 is the most economical of the units, at $99, followed by a starting price of $129 for the Portal Mini and $229 for the Nest Hub Max. The latest version of the Amazon Echo Show (version 8) and Google's Nest Hub Max will get it later this year. Zoom is finally coming to the devices, first to Portal in September.
