More time with the people you love.
That's what Higlo is for. Everything we make helps your family spend real time together — in one room, or a hundred miles apart.
One family, many homes.
-
Families grow across homes — new cities, new countries, new front doors. -
There are more ways to reach each other than ever. Real time together is what's rare. -
Higlo exists to change that — helping families do things together and make new memories, in one room or across the map.
Meet the Hearth.
A small device that sits on top of your TV — one at each home — and joins your living rooms into one shared space, on the biggest screen in the house.
Evenings and weekends, well spent.
The everyday things families do — back in one room.
Talk freely, move freelyCatch up like you're in the same room.
Conversation flows wherever the evening goes — the room keeps everyone in frame while people wander, cook, and kids do their laps of the sofa.
Enjoy your picture showMovie nights, together again.
Watching a film together is like learning words to your own secret family language. Higlo gives you a way to watch and laugh together, whichever sofa everyone's on.
Build your space togetherBuild, play, and make new memories.
Tell stories, make up games, build worlds, whiteboard the next family trip. Your shared space is yours to shape — so easy that grandparents and four-year-olds get it instantly.

Frequently asked questions
What is Higlo and how does it work?
Higlo is a device that connects to your TV, enabling immersive video calls and interactive shared experiences for the whole family. Simply place Higlo above or below your TV, open the built-in cover, and connect with your family and loved ones. No extra apps are required, just start building, playing, and chatting with your loved ones as if you were all in the same room.
How is Higlo different from regular video chat apps?
Unlike standard phone or computer calls, Higlo lets everyone move around freely while staying in the frame. The wide-angle camera and smart tracking keep family members visible at all times, even if kids are dancing across the living room. On top of that, Higlo’s Build Engine allows you to create, draw, and collaborate together, whether that’s playing games, telling stories, or planning a family vacation.
Is Higlo safe for children and secure for my family’s privacy?
Absolutely. Higlo is designed with family well-being as a top priority. The device only powers on when you open the built-in cover, respecting your privacy. Higlo also doesn’t serve ads or collect personal data, there are no hidden upsells, in-app purchases, or internet rabbit holes.
Can older family members or young children use Higlo easily?
Yes! Higlo is designed for all ages, from 4 to 84. Its intuitive interface uses voice, gestures, and simple on-screen prompts. Parents, grandparents, or tech-shy relatives can pick it up quickly. No complicated setups or complex app menus to navigate.
Can we watch movies or shows together using Higlo?
Yes, this is coming soon. Higlo supports shared viewing experiences so everyone can watch and engage together in real time. It’s like having a movie night together, even if you’re miles apart. Laugh, chat about the plot, and bond over your favourite scenes, all while seeing each other’s reactions.
How do I install and set up Higlo in my home?
Installation is straightforward. Place Higlo on or below your TV, plug it into your TV. A brief on-screen guide will walk you through the setup process that’s extremely straight forward. In fact you can order your Hearth pre-configured so no setup is required at all. Once connected, you can immediately start calls, watch shows, or build interactive experiences with your family.
Is Higlo a good alternative or replacement for the Facebook/Meta Portal?
A lot of people were disappointed when Facebook/Meta discountinued the Portal, and in particular the Portal TV. You can use Higlo in a similar way to stay in touch with family. If you’re a former Portal owner, learn more on this page.
