A:AnswerHi Mjruggiero!
Yes, the Echo Show 5 can be connected to Bluetooth external speakers, and audio can be played through them instead of the Echo Show's built-in speaker. You can pair your Bluetooth speaker with the Echo Show 5 through the Alexa app or by using on-screen settings on the Echo Show.
I hope this answers your question!

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: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 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!

A:AnswerHello CJ, thank you for your question. Yes, an Echo Show 5's screen can stay on for "live view" when set up with the Home Monitoring feature to keep an eye on your kids, allowing you to see the camera feed from the Alexa app or another Echo device. While the screen can be manually turned off with a voice command like "Alexa, turn off the screen," the screen will automatically sleep to save energy after a set period of inactivity, but you can disable this auto-sleep in the settings. You can enable Home Monitoring in the device settings under Privacy & Permissions to use the Echo Show 5 as a baby monitor. I hope that helps, have a great day!
