A:AnswerHi Dinald! While the Echo Show 5 supports YouTube via the built in browser (just ask Alexa to search YouTube and it will come up), currently you cannot access MAX. The only Echo Show device that can access MAX would be the Echo Show 15 via the built in Fire TV feature. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

A:AnswerHi Bob21. Thank you for your question. No need to access your account. You can do it directly on Echo Show 5. Swipe down from the top of the screen to make the menu appear, then select Settings. Have a great day!
A:AnswerHi Intercom, thank you for your question. Echo Show 5 has a feature called "Drop In" which will effectively allow you to use the devices as intercoms. To activate this feature, please make sure both devices have Drop In enabled in your Alexa app. Then, to use the feature, simply say "Alexa, Drop In on (the name of the other device)." Hopefully this is helpful. Have a wonderful day!
A:AnswerHi there! All of your Echo devices that are set up on the same Amazon account are automatically linked up to each other. You'll just need to link your Spotify account to your Amazon account, to do that: Open the Alexa app. Select More, then select Settings. Under Alexa Preferences, select Music & Podcasts. Select Link New Service. Select your preferred music service provider (Spotify) and follow the on-screen instructions. This will allow you to ask Alexa to play music from Spotify on any Echo device connected to your account. If you'd always like the Echo Show to play from the Echo Dot, you can set the Echo Dot as the preferred speaker under the Echo Show's device settings. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
A:AnswerHi there! While the Echo Show 5 can play all your favorites from Netflix, it does not currently support Tubi. If you're looking for an Echo Show to use for TV, the Echo Show 15 has Fire TV built in now and absolutely has access to the Tubi app. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
A:AnswerHello,
Smart Plug lets you voice control your lights, fans, coffee makers and more. All you need is an Alexa-enabled device, such as Echo, Fire TV, Fire tablet, or even just the Alexa app on your phone. and with multiple Amazon Smart Plugs, you can control multiple outlets. Amazon has a Amazon Smart Plug that is sold at Best Buy for $24.99.
Hope this helps you out!

A:AnswerHi Bob! While there's no direct way to link your Google Photos account to the Echo Show 5 you can easily upload photos to the device from your phone! Once you've got your device set up, open the Alexa app on your phone or tablet. From there, go to Devices and select the Echo Show 5. Once it loads up, you'll see the option for Photo Display along with "Manually select my photos." This will let you choose which photos from your phone to display on the Echo Show 5! You can also back these up with Amazon Photos, which provides a free 5 GB of storage! I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
A:AnswerHello -,
Thank you for your question. Yes the Echo Show 5 is compatible with the Blink doorbell camera, below are the steps to pair:
-First, enable the Blink SmartHome Skill:
-Open the Alexa app, tap the curtain menu in the lower right-hand corner, and select Skills & Games.
-Search for Blink SmartHome, then select the skill.
-Tap ENABLE TO USE and you'll be sent to the Link Account/Sign In page.
-Enter the email address and password of your Blink account. You'll be asked to create a 4-digit pin code for Alexa to provide functions requiring enhanced security. Then tap Sign In. By default, multiple factor authentication asks to confirm a PIN code sent to your mobile device. Enter the code and tap Verify Code. If you have not received a code within 2 minutes, tap Resend Code.
The Alexa app communicates with Blink account servers, detects devices, and then displays a message saying, "Your Blink SmartHome has been successfully linked."
-Tap CLOSE, and you are shown the Discover Devices screen.
*Note that your device may have already been discovered, but it is safer to attempt discovery again.
-Tap Discover Devices. After about 45 seconds, the Setup screen appears informing you that a device has been found and connected with the Blink SmartHome Skill. Tap "choose device" to begin setting it up.
The "Cameras" screen shows your discovered device.
*Note: Occasionally, the Alexa app message will say that no new devices were discovered (even though they were). In that case, tap the "Devices" icon on lower right of the screen for a list of known devices.
*Note: When setting up a Blink Video Doorbell in the Alexa app, be sure to assign it the same name that you did in the Blink app. Once set up is complete and the names match in both the Alexa app and the Blink app, you'll be able to request to your Echo Show 5 by saying, "Alexa, show me the Front Door," for example.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!

A:AnswerHello firemanbob,
Yes, the Echo Show 5 has the capability to display one Blink Camera at a time. You will also be able to speak through your Show 5 on any blink camera with two way communication. When you set up a new Alexa enabled device it will attempt to connect to any other smart devices on your network. I have also attached the steps bellow to accomplish the same task through the Blink App.
These steps are applicable when setting up the Blink SmartHome Skill for the first time.
1. Open the Blink app and tap Settings.
2. Tap Account and Privacy.
3. Tap Link to Alexa.
4. Tap the Open Alexa App button.
5. Tap ENABLE TO USE on the Blink SmartHome screen.
On the Link Account screen, enter the email address and password associated with your Blink account. Then tap Continue.
6. Enter the verification code sent to the mobile phone number associated with your Blink account.
Then, tap Verify Code. If you do not receive a verification code within 2 minutes, tap Resend Code.
After you successfully verify your account, you can Close the screen to navigate back to the Alexa app.
I hope this helps!
