Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello JamesZ! You can use Drop In to instantly check-in with others in your household. Drop In is an optional feature that lets you connect instantly to supported Alexa-enabled devices, like an intercom. On Echo Show models, video calling is enabled during Drop In. Use Drop In to open an instant conversation between your devices or with your Alexa contacts. When you receive a Drop In, the light indicator on your Echo pulses green and you connect to your contact automatically. You can use Drop In to: 1. Have a two-way conversation by connecting to one of your Alexa-enabled devices ("drop in on Kitchen"). 2. Connect to a specific device group ("drop in on living room"). Only one Alexa-enabled device from the device group connects. 3. Have a group conversation with all supported Alexa-enabled devices under your Amazon household, which are not set to do not disturb. To start a group conversation ask Alexa to Drop In everywhere. All supported Alexa-enabled devices under your Amazon household account will connect regardless of their physical location. 4. Drop In on a contact who granted you Drop In permissions. 5. Receive Drop In from a contact whom you granted Drop In permissions. Have a great day!
