AIBU to ask you to help me identify this advert

In the run up to mother's Day there was an advert about 2 adult kids visiting mum on mother's Day. The son brought flowers and the daughter an electronic video calling device. The advert then showed the mum and daughter video calling, dancing, playing games etc.

I've just had a baby and with my mother in law in isolation was looking for this product to see if it would be easy for her to set up and use. She likely won't meet the baby for a few months and thought this could be a good way to bond. Only problem being I can't find it!

Can anyone remember the advert and what it was for? I remember it saying you need WhatsApp. (which she has but for some reason we have never been able to get the video calling to work!)

Was it the Facebook Portal? I remember seeing that advertised recently.

Was about to say Portal . Smile

Yeah, that sounds like the Facebook portal. I don't remember that particular advert but they had a big campaign on in the run up to mother's day.

Facebook portal! They advertised at Christmas too with The Muppets!

Oooh I remember seeing it at Christmas as well and scoffing "Why would anyone pay for that?" And given the current circumstances I think this may be a good shout for my Nan.

Does any one know of an older person whose got it and found it easy to use?
