Top 7 Features of the Ultimate Amazon Echo Show 15

Alexa-enabled smart displays are available from Amazon in four sizes, ranging from the?Echo Show 5?up to the?Echo Show 15?(we’re?giving away one?), which features a big 15-inch screen that can be mounted on a wall. Features not seen on Amazon’s other Alexa-enabled devices are accessible on these screens alone.

Here are some of the best things you can do with the Echo Show, ranging from making video calls and monitoring your security camera feed to singing along with songs and enriching your shopping experience. Even better, many of these capabilities will be available on Fire TV devices as well.

Watch Movies and Play YouTube

You may ask Alexa to start playing movies, trailers, and videos on your Echo Show, and your device will do so. “Alexa, play the Justice League trailer,” for example, is a command you may issue. To help you narrow down your search, Alexa will show you with numerous possibilities on the screen, which you can pick either by speaking or pressing the display.

Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, NBC, CBS All Access, HBO, and Starz are just a few of the video streaming services that are accessible on the Echo Show. In addition, Alexa abilities are available for a variety of other networks, including Bloomberg, the Food Network, and FX.

Make Video Calls

You can use the camera on the Echo Show to make video calls to other Echo Show users, as well as to anybody who has the Alexa app installed on their phone. The person you wish to call, on the other hand, must already be in your contacts list. You can also “drop in” on other Echo Show owners, which some people may find weird, but that is up to you.?Echo Show 10?includes face-tracking technology and will really spin on its base to follow you around the room if you move your head to look around. Currently, Alexa, Skype, and even Zoom can be used to conduct voice and video chats.

See Your Video Door Bell Feed

Some of the top video doorbells and home security cameras have the added function of allowing you to watch what they’re seeing on an Echo Show, which is a fantastic feature. Furthermore, you can utilise the Echo Show’s microphone and speakers to hear and communicate with the person on the other end of the phone line as well. It comes in particularly helpful if someone rings your doorbell and you are unable to respond in a reasonable amount of time. This talent is compatible with video doorbells and security cameras from a variety of manufacturers, including Arlo, Blink, Ring, Nest, and others. The customisable widgets on the Echo Show 15 allow you to exert even finer control over your smart home devices than before.

Sing Along To Song Lyrics

The Echo Show may be used as a personal karaoke machine via Amazon Music. When you ask Alexa to start playing a song, the lyrics will be shown on the Echo Show 15 screen while the music blares out of the dual speakers on the ack of it. It also works while you’re listening to an audiobook.

See All of Your Photos On The Digital Photo Frame

In its default configuration, the Echo Show shows a selection of random backdrop photographs. However, you may change the backdrop photographs to ones that you’ve uploaded to Prime Photos or those you’ve taken using the Alexa app on your smartphone via the settings menu. Amazon Prime Photographs, which you can use if you have an Amazon Prime membership, is one of the greatest picture storage and sharing services since it allows you to keep an unlimited amount of photos in full definition.

Edit and View Your Calendar

A scrollable daily planner listing your activities for each day is shown when you say “Alexa, show my calendar” to the device. You may also add events to your calendar by speaking the date, the time, and the name of the event into your phone’s speech recognition system. When prompted, it will also provide the current weather conditions for the day and week. The Echo Show 15 does this wonderfully and can display in a small or large widget on your home screen, all the time. So you always know when your next event is. This makes the Echo Show 15 a great control panel for a small office — or your own.

Find A Great Restaurant and Scroll

Don’t have the urge to cook? With your Alexa question in hand, the Echo Show will offer a selection of eateries depending on your location, along with reviews from Yelp. By selecting one of the alternatives, you will be provided with the restaurant’s location, phone number, and opening hours. Use the touch screen to scroll past what’s on display.
