A:AnswerHi Annie,
You can stream live shows on your Echo Show 10 and local news depending on your subscriptions that you have linked via the Alexa App and on your device. For example, if you want to watch GMA, you can enable Hulu and depending on what you pay for you will be able to watch from your device! Subscription fees may apply. You can enable local news alerts based on your preferences via the Alexa app of ask Alexa to show you local news on your device.
Hope that helps!
A:Answeryes alexa can log in to instagram and u can text family and friends but u can't do videos or photos I don't know if it's going to work on your Alexa but it didn't work on my Alexa.
A:AnswerHello MaryEllen, all the Amazon Echo devices can talk to each other regardless of the generation. You can enable the Drop In feature on individual devices that you want to be able to talk to without having to accept the call. If the device has video capabilities, you can turn off the camera and just use it for voice.
Have a great day!
A:AnswerHi Bob,
You can ask Alexa to display your favorite photos by adding them via the Alexa app under your Echo Show 10s settings or by creating an Amazon photos account and creating specific slideshows that way.
To see your photos on your Echo Show 10 just ask Alexa. You can say things like:
-"Show my photos."
-"Show This Day photos."
-"Show Family Vault photos."
-"[Pause / Resume / Repeat] slideshow."
-"[Previous / Next] photo."
-"Turn on shuffle." -"Zoom [in / out]."
-"Show my photos of [Name]."
-"Share this photo."
-"Send this photo to [Name]."
-"Show my shared photos."
You can use the Alexa app to share photos with your Alexa contacts. To share photos:
1. Open the Alexa app.
2. Select Communicate, then select Share.
3. Select a photo. The photo can't exceed 120 MB.
4. Select a contact, then select Share.
Shared photos are stored on Amazon Photos. If you unshare or delete photos in the Amazon Photos app, the recipient can no longer view them on their Echo device with a screen, Fire TV device, or Amazon Photos app. The photo is still viewable from the message thread in the Alexa app.
Hope that helps!
A:AnswerHello Nikki, you want to know if the Amazon Echo Show 10 will work on a 220v socket. The Amazon Echo Show 10 comes with an 120v plug, it will support the 220v with appropriate adapter sold separately. Hope this has answered your question. Have an amazing day!
A:AnswerI agree. They shipped my purchases in their original sales box too. Everyone and their uncle could see that expensive communications equipment sitting on my porch for hours before someone is home to get it. At least put the items in a plain brown (or whatever color) box so the contents are not seen. That will at least keep an honest man honest. Knowing what is inside the box is what tempts otherwise an honest man.
A:Answertldr; Depends on the senior and the situation. With support (especially with setup, which is complicated), many seniors can operate an ES even if they're not very technical. However, if the senior has impaired hearing/vision/memory or they're living in a care facility that may not allow ES, the ES may be a bad fit.
Can your senior order food from a McDonald’s touchscreen? Can they speak simple commands like, "Alexa, drop in <your name>"? If so, they can probably learn to *** operate an ES ***.
** Setting up an ES *** is much harder, though.
I recently walked my mom through ES setup. From long distance, by telephone. She has a flip phone. At first, we couldn’t get texting to work. Turned out she needed to upgrade her data plan. We needed to link her number to her Amazon account. That’s when we figured out that she’d been giving me the wrong mobile phone number. During the Alexa app setup, I had to keep logging in as her on my phone’s Alexa app and switching between her account and mine. Many challenges, we had. But between us and Consumer Cellular (we love those folks!), we finally got the ES working for drop-in video calls. It was so nice when we finally got drop-in working and I could see my folks on the screen!
To run ES, the senior needs a mobile phone number. This number needs to be linked to their Amazon account (amazon.com > Your Account > Your Profiles > their profile).
They need a cell phone and data plan that support SMS/texting so they can receive verification codes from Amazon, Alexa app, etc.
If the Alexa app is available for the senior’s phone, install it.
(I didn’t do that for Mom because I didn’t think to check whether the app was available for flip phones. I configured Mom’s Alexa ES drop-in settings by switching between her Alexa account and mine on my phone. When I logged in as her, Mom gave me the verification codes from her phone. Getting to the Alexa home screen after login is a royal pain if you haven’t set up voice profiles, but with much gnashing of teeth, I bumbled my way through.)
So yeah, your senior will need setup support, from you or somebody like Geek Squad, Amazon, etc. Brace for some frustration, but if your only problems are technical, rejoice.
My folks use the ES strictly for drop-in video calling, so I can't comment on whether other ES features are senior-friendly. Once the ES is set up and connected to Wi-Fi, it seems to stay working a long time despite power outages, etc. as long as the IT infrastructure (router, Wi-Fi password, etc.) doesn't change.
Be aware that seniors can have any number of issues that may impede their ability to use an ES. How is their hearing? Their vision? Their memory? Do they have dementia? If they’re in a care facility, does the facility allow ES?
Sadly, there are some seniors that ES is a bad fit for. As we discovered the hard way when we set up an ES for my MIL. In addition to being tech-illiterate, MIL has dementia with severe memory loss as well as severe hearing loss.
ES audio can’t be amplified or equalized. There’s no real-time captioning for drop-in calls. (I think there might be captioning for YouTube videos and movies, but we didn’t play with that.)
You may be able to work around dementia memory issues with simple paper instructions. (We couldn’t, though — lack of memory plus technical illiteracy was just too high a hurdle.)
If your senior is in a care facility, check with them before purchasing an ES. Not all facilities allow ES, especially if the senior is sharing a room with another resident. (Once MIL moved to a private room, her facility did allow ES for her.) We connected easily to the facility’s public Wi-Fi. Bandwidth is sufficient for video calling but not for streaming movies. (Of course, if your senior has their own cable internet connection, they’ll probably have enough bandwidth.)
Alexa language can be reset from English to a senior’s preferred language. However, if the younger generation doesn’t read that language, it will be harder for them to support the senior’s use of the ES. In our situation, MIL can read Chinese but only minimal English. My husband can read English but not Chinese. Whenever we communicate with MIL, we’re roundtripping between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, with help of Google Translate and a whiteboard.
For a while, MIL also kept unplugging the ES at night because the light bothered her, and of course she didn’t remember to plug it back in again the next day. (We solved that problem by putting the ES on a timer and securing it to the wall outlet.)
After a lot of thrashing, we’re still using the ES with MIL, but mainly as a digital photo frame. We’ve done the occasional drop-in call to her, but all we can do is wave at her and hold up a whiteboard with writing on it. (And that’s if we can even reach her at all; often she’s away from her room.)
A:AnswerHello John,
Any Smart Home security cameras, such as Ring or Blink that you attach through your Alexa app using Skills, can be viewed on your Echo Show 10. You can only view one camera at a time but, you can set it up through the app to view, yes! I hope this helps, have a great day!
A:AnswerHello!
The Echo Show 10 has a 10.1 inch screen. The screen rotates on a base which keeps you in focus during video chats and keeps the screen facing you while you're using it. I hope that helps. Have a great day!
A:AnswerHello, Sohel!
Thank you for your question! You will be able to view any of your TP-Link cameras on your Echo Show device. All you will need to do is go into your Alexa app and enable the TP-Link skill. This will link the accounts. You would also be able to control any TP-Link smart home devices with your Echo devices once you have done this. I hope that information was helpful. Have a great day!
A:AnswerHello,
Yes, the Echo Show 10 is compatible with the Google Nest doorbell. Use your Alexa app to set up your device and follow the instruction from there, I hope this helps! Have a great day!
A:AnswerHello gisabella! Alexa has the ability to identify labeled items using Show and Tell which is a feature used for object identification. They need to be identifiable items that can be shopped for in order for Alexa to identify them via her database. You can access this feature by asking "Alexa, what am I holding?" However, at this time, Alexa does not have the ability to identify colors of objects being held in your hand. I hope this helps answer your question and you have a tremendous day! Thanks so much for this great question!
A:AnswerHello Nicole,
The Echo Show 10 pivots on the motorized speaker that comes attached to the screen. The speaker is covered with a grill cover, similar to the latest Echo devices like the Echo Dot and Echo. I hope this helps, have a great day!
