Fresh from every angle - Completely redesigned with a thinner display, fast processing, and room-filling spatial audio.
A: Hello Michael! The Amazon Echo Show 8 (newest model) cannot directly control all your Echo devices through itself, but it works as part of your connected Alexa ecosystem. You can create Multi-Room Music groups using the Alexa app that include your Echo Show 8 and other Echo devices, which allows you to play synchronized music across multiple devices in different rooms by saying "Alexa, play music everywhere" or on a specific group name. However, there are important limitations: Multi-Room Music groups work within the same home/location on the same Amazon account, and devices at different physical locations (like a vacation home or office) cannot be included in the same Multi-Room Music group, and audio from video content doesn't play on Multi-Room Music groups. For stereo pairing, you can create a stereo pair, but this requires two identical Echo devices (e.g., two Echo Show 8s or two Echo Studios) placed in the same room to create left/right channel stereo sound, and the Echo Show 8 cannot be paired in stereo with different Echo models. The key limitations are that multi-room music and device grouping only works for devices registered to the same Amazon account and connected to the same home network location, you cannot group or control Echo devices at another physical location (like a second home) through multi-room music features, and while the Echo Show 8 (newest model) features spatial audio for enhanced sound on the device itself, this is a single-device feature, not a multi-device capability. have a great day!
Q: Do this wok with ring doorbell
A: Dear Rosco, Yes, the Echo Show 8 works great with Ring doorbells! You can: See and talk to visitors when your Ring doorbell is pressed View your Ring camera's live feed anytime by asking Alexa Get motion alerts on your Echo Show 8's display Use two-way talk through the Echo Show 8 to communicate with visitors Just make sure to enable the Ring skill in the Alexa app to connect your devices. Your Echo Show 8 will then automatically announce when someone's at the door and display the video feed. Thanks for reaching out and have a great day!
Q: Can I hear youtube directly from the Echo? Or only Amazon music?
A: Hi Franco, You can watch and hear YouTube on the Echo Show 8 through the built-in web browsers (Silk or Firefox). You’re not limited to Amazon Music. Hope this helps.
A: Hello and thank you for asking this question. Echo Shows need to be plugged into an outlet in order to function and do not use a battery. I hope this answers your question and that you have a great day.
