How do I work the camera? null

Hello Breek, There are a couple of different ways you can access the camera functionality on the Echo Show 8. If you wanted to take a picture in the moment to save on your Amazon Photos, you can simply say "Alexa, Take a Selfie" and the device will capture a picture. If you would like to use the camera for video calls, You can simply say "Alexa, Call ..." and she will call anyone that you have input into your contact list on the Alexa App. Here are the steps to add contacts to your Alexa App, that way you can Call or "Drop In" to video chat with others: 1. Open the Alexa app on your mobile device 2. Tap the Communicate icon 3. Follow the prompts to enter and verify your phone number 4. Allow access to your contacts 5. Say "Alexa, call [contact name]" You can also make a call by saying "Alexa, dial XXX-XXX-XXX". To answer a call, say "Alexa, answer". To end a call, say "Alexa, hang up" or "Alexa, end call". I hope this helps!
