So Disappointed

Q: QuestionWhat exactly can you do with the show8 besides video call which I hate. Only feature I know and love is the recipes stay lit so I don’t have to keep tapping my iPad. What else is Echo good for?
Asked by CColl.
- A:Answer Hello CColl! This is a great question! There are a multitude of features you can use the Echo Show 8 for that aren't just video calls! Yes, the recipes feature is tremendous to use, but you can also use the video streaming capabilities of the device for a plethora of streaming services such as Prime Video, Hulu, Netflix, etc. You can also use it for streaming music with your favorite music services such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify. In addition to these features, Alexa can be used for numerous other tasks such as controlling smart home devices, being an intercom using a "drop in" or "announcements" feature, securing your home as a security camera that you can access through your Alexa app, and be a link to video doorbells so you can see who is at your door through your doorbell with compatible devices. All of this is just the tip of the iceberg of ways you can utilize your Echo Show 8 but I hope this helps and answers your question a bit! Thanks again for inquiring and I hope you have a phenomenal day!

Q: QuestionThe all family use iPhone, echo show is compatible with apple device
Asked by Fred.
- A:Answer Hello Fred! I believe you are asking if you can use the Echo Show with an iPhone? There is an Alexa app available for download on the Apple AppStore which allows you to utilize the full extent of what the Echo Show can offer. Also, since the Show is a screened device, you can even use and set it up without using an app at all. You can just follow the onscreen instructions and the device is a full featured touch screen. I hope this answers your question and you have an amazing day!

Q: QuestionCan you show a side-by-side checklist of Features comparing the 8 second generation to the 10 third generation please
Asked by Dee.
- A:Answer Dee, Hello! I can't do a side by side on here but, I can tell you in a snap shot quickly...starting with the SHOW8: The new Echo Show 8 has some great upgraded features. The device now has a 13 MP camera that is built to keep you in frame! The camera has auto-framing that can zoom and tilt to always keep you in frame and centered for video calls. You can also look in when you're away with the built-in camera. The Echo Show 8 gives you control of compatible devices like cameras, lights, and more using the interactive display, your voice, or your motion. Show10: Move around the room during video calls or while you're cooking along to a recipe and the brilliant 10.1" HD screen will automatically turn to face you! Catch up with your favorite people without having to worry about staying in frame, the 13mp camera can zoom in and pan out to make sure you are centered! Take a look around when you're away! Watch your shows with the premium sound that adapts to the space you're in and so much more... I hope this helps explain some of the features of the Echo SHOW8 compared to the SHOW10

Q: QuestionWill I be able to connect the Nest/Google video doorbell, thermostats, indoor and outdoor cameras to this 2nd gen Echo 8? I was also told you can't watch YouTube?
Asked by Chanimal23.
- A:Answer Hello, Chanimal23! Yes! You can access your Nest/Google doorbell, thermostat, and other cameras on your Echo Show 8. All you would need to do is enable the Nest skill in the Alexa App and that will link all of your Nest devices to Alexa. As far as YouTube goes, you can access it on the device, but it is not through an app. It is accessible through the web browser on the device. Simply say, "Alexa, show me cat videos on YouTube" and she will pull it up for your! Have a great day!
