After almost 10 years with Roku - and having purchased close to 8 Roku devices for myself or family - we are seriously looking at switching to Apple TV. Really just for one new feature coming out in TvOS 17 - Apple TV's Facetime with Center Stage feature. It allows for widescreen, auto-zooming, video calling on our TV. As someone with family all over the country - this is an amazing feature and one of the few things that could switch our households away from Roku. With Facebook's Portal TV shutting down, which we previously used to fill this niche, we need a replacement and so will be switching to Apple TV if it works as well as early demos suggest.
Having said that - I really like Roku and wouldnt switch if Roku offered something similar. Is there anything like this in the works on the Roku end ? Perhaps a standalone webcam, with auto-zooming and wide angle features, that connects to the Roku streaming device as a peripheral and can use Zoom or MS Teams or WhatsApp video calls ? Thank you.
