Meet all-new Echo Show
It features a new look, vibrant 10" HD screen, built-in smart home hub, and improved speakers. Just ask Alexa to show you a recipe, watch live TV and sports with Hulu, make video calls, or see who's at the front door.
Hands-free video calling and messaging
Connect with your favorite people. Make hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo device with a screen. Instantly connect to other supported devices in your home, or make a voice announcement to every room with a supported Echo device.
Echo Show's new speakers feature dual 2" premium drivers, a passive bass radiator, and Dolby processing to deliver expansive stereo sound with deep, powerful lows and crisp highs.
Adjust the treble, mid, and bass levels using only your voice, or set up multiroom music to play music across compatible Echo devices throughout your home.
Alexa can show you even more
Watch as the display comes alive to show song lyrics and album art from Amazon Music. Stream music from Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio.
Stream books from your Audible library or watch movie trailers, news briefings, Prime Video content, and live TV and sports with a Hulu subscription.
Always ready to help
Echo Show is the kitchen companion that helps you get more done in your day. Cook along to step-by-step recipes, set alarms and timers, add items to your to-do and shopping lists, see weather forecasts, calendars, photos, and more.
Echo Show is optimized for visibility across the room and can hear you even while music is playing.
Voice control your smart home
Alexa can control thousands of compatible smart home devices, such as security cameras, lights, thermostats, and more. Just ask her to show you the front door camera or brighten the kitchen lights.
Easily set up and control compatible Zigbee smart home devices without the need for a separate hub. Just say, "Alexa, discover my devices," and Echo Show will discover and set up compatible devices so you can control them with your voice or manage them on-screen.
You can also voice call or message almost anyone, or instantly connect to other devices in your home to make a quick announcement or check in on the kids. Plus, now with Skype calling stay in touch with friends and family in over 150 countries.
Alexa has skills
With over 50,000 skills and counting, Alexa is always getting smarter. Skills are like apps and let you do more - you can play Jeopardy, meditate with Headspace, or view your favorite beaches with Surfline.
Just say, "Alexa, help me get started with skills." You can even create your own skills with Alexa Skill Blueprints.

Q: QuestionWe are looking a getting this for our elderly mom. She leaves in the country and has wifi. She has a cellphone but does not have cell service at her home as she lives to far out in the country. Will we be able to make video calls or drop in function?
Asked by Daughter.
- A:Answer Yes, as long as you have an internet connection you can use it. The only issue you might have is to set it up (amazon account needed) but you can easily create one for her. Did the same with my parents. I can drop in at any time even though they're living on a different continent :)

Q: QuestionDoes the Amazon Alexa use a lot of electricity?
Asked by Karen.
- A:Answer You can leave the Echo Show in Off Mode and it will only use .1 watts, or in Standby with the microphone and Canera both on it uses 4 watts, with Microphone on and Camera off it uses 2.5 watts. It automatically goes into standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity so the majority of the time it is using less power per hour than the LED high efficiency light bulb we just bought which says it uses 8 watts and costs $1.10/year if we leave it on 3 hours per day. So I would say it is not going to make a noticeable difference in your utility bill. :)

Q: QuestionCan anybody tell me is there a way to put the Comcast cable TV app on this so I can watch my cable TV?
Asked by Mikey.
- A:Answer Hello, Mikey! The Echo Show is not currently compatible with the Xfinity Stream app. You do have access to a web browser on the Echo Show, so you may be able to access your account through there, but the layout may not be as easy to navigate as an app may be. Things change often on what apps and services are available, so there is always a chance of the app being added at some point in the future. Have a great day!
