Q: What do I need to use echo show
A: Hello Charcoal! 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. I hope that helps explain some of the features of the Echo Show 8. Have a great day!
A: Hello Daryl, the Echo Show 8 does require constant power to operate. There is no battery available for this device. Have a great day!
A: Hi there! The Echo Show 8 3rd Generation should work just fine in Brazil, though you may need a different power adapter than the one that is included with the US version of the device. You'll still be limited to the normal services and features of an Alexa enabled device operating in Brazil though. Alexa definitely speaks Portuguese though, so no worries there. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Q: Does the Echoshow 8 and 5 have the same speaker, or is the in in 8 bigger?
A: No, the speaker is not as good as the previous version, so I put the older one back in its place.
A: Hi FloridaBob, Thanks for reaching out. I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with your new 8" Echo Show. Time discrepancies can be frustrating, Here are a few things to try. Double-check the time zone: Even though you've set it to EST NY, try resetting it: Say "Alexa, open settings" Go to "Device Options" > "Date & Time" Ensure "Automatic Time Zone" is enabled If it is, try turning it off and manually selecting "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" Sync the time: Say "Alexa, sync my device" This should force the device to update its time from Amazon's servers Restart your Echo Show: Unplug the device from power for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in Check your Amazon account settings: Go to the Alexa app on your smartphone Tap on "Devices" > "Echo & Alexa" > select your new Echo Show Check the device settings to ensure the correct time zone is set Update your Echo Show: Say "Alexa, check for software updates" If an update is available, install it I hope these steps get help. Have a great day!
Q: Can multiple Alexa's be connected together?
A: Good Afternoon Lancemal14, Thanks for reaching out. All your Amazon smart speakers, including the Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Pop, Echo Show, or Echo Studio, can be connected to work in tandem with one another. Here’s how to set up multiple speakers to configure them for multi-room playback. Your first step is to set up the devices. Open the Alexa app and tap the Devices icon at the bottom. Select the plus (+) button in the top-right corner and then tap Add Device. Once the devices are set up you can click on the combine speakers or create a new group option on the top of the page. I hope this answers your question, have a great day!
Q: Does this device work with the Facebook Portal?

Easy to setup, low profile, decent sound, Alexa
Mainly bought because I was tired of Google products. Alexa was my top request feature and it did not disappoint. My only issue was how many random interests I had to disable to customize what the home screen would display. Otherwise no complaints, easy to set up, looks great, decent speakers, smart home controls.
