A:AnswerHello Charcoal! The new Echo Show 8 has some great upgraded features. The device now has a 13 MP camera that is built to keep you in frame! The camera has auto-framing that can zoom and tilt to always keep you in frame and centered for video calls. You can also look in when you're away with the built-in camera. The Echo Show 8 gives you control of compatible devices like cameras, lights, and more using the interactive display, your voice, or your motion. I hope that helps explain some of the features of the Echo Show 8. Have a great day!
A:AnswerHi there! The Echo Show 8 3rd Generation should work just fine in Brazil, though you may need a different power adapter than the one that is included with the US version of the device. You'll still be limited to the normal services and features of an Alexa enabled device operating in Brazil though. Alexa definitely speaks Portuguese though, so no worries there. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
A:AnswerGood morning Jose,
Thanks for reaching out! The Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation) is carried in Best Buy stores. You would have to check with the individual store you are interested in to see if they have it in stock at the moment. Have a great day!
A:AnswerHi FloridaBob,
Thanks for reaching out. I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with your new 8" Echo Show. Time discrepancies can be frustrating, Here are a few things to try.
Double-check the time zone:
Even though you've set it to EST NY, try resetting it:
Say "Alexa, open settings"
Go to "Device Options" > "Date & Time"
Ensure "Automatic Time Zone" is enabled
If it is, try turning it off and manually selecting "Eastern Time (US & Canada)"
Sync the time:
Say "Alexa, sync my device"
This should force the device to update its time from Amazon's servers
Restart your Echo Show:
Unplug the device from power for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in
Check your Amazon account settings:
Go to the Alexa app on your smartphone
Tap on "Devices" > "Echo & Alexa" > select your new Echo Show
Check the device settings to ensure the correct time zone is set
Update your Echo Show:
Say "Alexa, check for software updates"
If an update is available, install it
I hope these steps get help. Have a great day!

-""Call [Name's] office.""
-""Call [Mom/Dad/Grandma].""
-""Call [number].""

A:AnswerHi Joh! You can use the Echo Show 8 to view any cameras that you have set up on a connected Blink account using the Blink Alexa Skill. To add the Blink Skill: Open the Alexa app. Open More and select Skills & Games. Search for the Alexa skill you want to enable. Select Enable Skill and log in using your Blink account. Once you've done that, you may need to give Alexa a moment to discover your cameras. At this point, all you need to do is say "Alexa, show me ____" replacing the blank with whatever you named the camera you'd like to see. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
