- Quick start guide
A: I purchased a show for my father in a nursing home. With Covid 19 his nursing home has a no visitor policy during the pandemic. I now can drop in and FaceTime him without having to call the front desk. He is a stroke patient and can’t move his right side at all. He doesn’t have to answer verbally or touch anything with a drop in. I’m very grateful for the echo show!
A: It comes with everything needed for video chat/calls. Built-in camera, microphone, speaker, and screen. It has free video and audio calls between Echo devices and the Alexa mobile app. So you could get another Echo Show (or the Alexa app on your phone) and call her for free.
Q: Can I get a video call on my iphone, or do I need another Echo?
A: Yes, you can get a video call on your iPhone.
Q: Is this for viewing only or is it also a speaker (for music)?

Q: how can I disable the "try suggestions: at the bottom of the screen?
A: Not yet. Lots of people have given feedback to add an option to turn the suggestions off, and may become available via future system updates.
