- A: AnswerHi Intercom, thank you for your question. Echo Show 5 has a feature called "Drop In" which will effectively allow you to use the devices as intercoms. To activate this feature, please make sure both devices have Drop In enabled in your Alexa app. Then, to use the feature, simply say "Alexa, Drop In on (the name of the other device)." Hopefully this is helpful. Have a wonderful day!

- A: AnswerHi there! All of your Echo devices that are set up on the same Amazon account are automatically linked up to each other. You'll just need to link your Spotify account to your Amazon account, to do that: Open the Alexa app. Select More, then select Settings. Under Alexa Preferences, select Music & Podcasts. Select Link New Service. Select your preferred music service provider (Spotify) and follow the on-screen instructions. This will allow you to ask Alexa to play music from Spotify on any Echo device connected to your account. If you'd always like the Echo Show to play from the Echo Dot, you can set the Echo Dot as the preferred speaker under the Echo Show's device settings. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

Amazon Echo show 5, 3d generation 5.5 inch
The Amazon Echo 5 is a amazing device I highly recommend it, it has so many features that make you feel as though you have a personal secretary on call around the clock .I had the ability to use the echo to watch Netflix and some other video apps like YouTube and tik tok. it also has the ability to connect to the internet for web browsing, extremely easy to set up and having a Amazon account makes it even better because it gives you the freedom to be able to keep track of your purchases or to make purchases, it also notifies you if you return an item that you purchase so that way you know when your refund is on its way. It allows you to receive notifications so you can know when you're purchases are in route to you and when they have arrived. It can link to my security system which is a great feature you just have to give permission for it to do so, I love the fact that I can access my doorbell so I can see who's at my door and you can speak to them clearly. By the way you don't have to have all your devices be Amazon or Alexa for it to work with other cameras or doorbells. It will work with Google and it will also work with ADT and other cameras that you probably can purchase from other websites and I know this for a fact. I also like the ability to be able to access my other blink cameras in my home so that way I can know what's going on and also keep track of my pets which is a great ability to have. You can also make video calls and receive video calls or have someone drop in once the permission is granted to receive information like if I want to tell my children dinner's ready I can drop into the intercom or I can tell them to go check the mailbox or go walk the dog so that's what the drop-in feature allows .you also have your privacy because the echo comes with a switch that blocks the camera so you don't have to worry about thinking anyone is watching you plus you can mute the device so the device cannot hear you, you can even change the name so instead of calling it Alexa you can call it names like echo or Amazon. Schedule appointments find out what the weather is going to be, get reminders of anything like planning future vacations the list goes on. One of my relaxing enjoyments is telling Alexa to play meditation music or to watch soothing Shoreline water crash up against the shore or even having it display a aquarium when i go to bed. So honestly the list of things you can do is Limitless so I highly recommend it, give it a chance you'll enjoy it and remember you don't have to get the newest one to reap all the benefits some of the older models can do a lot of the same things and they come in bigger sizes which is why I purchase two more. Yeah it's a great display and you can use it for alarm clock one of my children had trouble sitting there alarm clock so now to be able to just tell it what time you want to be up or to remind you to work out make things so much easier plus if you are not available to your child and your child need help with homework you can ask the device questions and more than likely it will have the answer.

Excellent bedside accessories
I recently got the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Generation), and it has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. The compact size is perfect for my bedside table, and the screen quality is excellent for both video calls and streaming shows. Alexa’s responsiveness is impressive, and the built-in camera shutter provides peace of mind for privacy. I use it to control my smart home devices, set alarms, and get weather updates. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small device. Overall, my experience has been fantastic, and I highly recommend the Echo Show 5 to anyone looking to enhance their smart home setup.

Alexa at your fingertips!
I’ve tried my fair share of smart home gadgets, but the Amazon Echo Show 5 stands out for its versatility and ease of use. Integrating it into my setup was a breeze, especially when it came to controlling my smart lights and Ring doorbell. With just a simple voice command, I can check who’s at the door or dim the lights, all without having to reach for my phone. Alexa’s responsiveness and the ability to create routines have streamlined a lot of my daily tasks, making my home feel truly automated. One of my favorite features is the Echo Show 5’s integration with Ring. Whenever someone rings the doorbell, the display instantly shows me who’s there, and I can talk to them directly through the device. This has been a game-changer for me, especially when I’m busy with projects around the house and can’t drop everything to check the door. It’s reassuring to know I have that level of control and security at my fingertips. The Drop-In feature has also been a hit in my household. It’s like having a modern-day intercom system, and it’s surprisingly useful for keeping in touch with everyone around the house. Whether I’m upstairs working on something or just want to let everyone know dinner’s ready, the Echo Show 5 makes it effortless. Overall, this little device has become an essential part of my smart home setup, combining convenience, security, and communication in one compact package.
