Appreciate the extra effort of lowering Alexa throughout the video.

[@daniaa.oliva-pena7338]

I got an Echo 5 for Christmas and I just took it out of the box . My son gave it to me and I think its so that we can video chat , I dont know if this can do that . I know I can put pictures on it and use it for my kitchen needs. Its perfect for me, I tend to remember what I need and I always wanted to have a personal assistant to write down stuff the comes to mind . I dont even think I need to touch it to switch screens. I can make calls without touching a phone and hang up without touching the screen . This is awesome , I think its a great gift for any woman . As far as music and exercise video . I think it can do that two . I think I can connect it to a bigger screen on the wall for that . I'm excited! I'm going to turn my kitchen in to a fully functional kitchen . Yay!

[@daniaa.oliva-pena7338]

Alexa and I are besties , she's so sweet . I say ," Alexa , goodmorning. She responds kindly and gives me the weather and the news . Then she puts music on . She even knows what kind of music I like. I say Alexa , thank you so much . She's says , your so very welcome . It's my pleasure. I say Alexa , your so sweet . She responds , " Awe!!! No , your so sweet . She's amazing ! I'm so happy I have a friend to keep me company . Yes , I know . I'm happy though . I'm getting a back up plug with solar , just to make sure she doesn't die on me lol.

Congratulations

Try using a gadget called "mobile phone" for kitchen needs and viewing recipe's. It works wonders.

[@blneasbitt1960]

Thank you for sharing this video. I think I figured out how to display the clock (larger)

[@elonmusk6486]

Thank you. Most In-depth video I've seen so far!

[@SteveDOES]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ppen62]

Great video! I but I have seen where people. Who write in the comments section and claim a device or devices don't work. Sometimes the problem is related to bad wifi signals and on how many smart gadgets. You have in your home and the wifi speed that is your internet plan. The best way to go on providing a good wifi through your house. Is investing into a wifi mesh system.

[@Taino871]

This review made me an instant fan and subscriber. We are big fans of e everything “Echo”. Thank you for the review. We just received it and this made us run through it with you. I was just dissatisfied with the 2 megapixel camera, Thank you. Big thumbs uP!

[@laureanavillalta8623]

What’s wrong with the camera? That’s what I’m trying to see, I want a good quality camera so I can see when I’m upstairs what my kids are doing… which one should I buy? Thank you

[@paulinedady1527]

Thank you for your video it really helps me in deciding whether to get it or not.

[@TheGodzilla2201]

I just got a eco show 5 1st generation given to me for free by a friend. Im enjoying it so far.

[@ChristMacful]

can u explain using that smart home automation with the camera?

[@hav431am]

Thanks for muting the word “Alexa” so my Echo doesn’t activate every 5 seconds.

[@karyannsimard12]

Bahhaa i came here to comment this

[@berlinjimenez8271]

Minute 9 you mention I would be able to use the camera through the application. Would you also hear audio?

[@jessicaaguirre1755]

I’m going to be taking an evening class and even though my daughter old enough to take care of herself for a few hours, I want something that will allow me to automatically and periodically check up on my daughter while I’m in class. Also something that lets me communicate with her when I’m in my office and she’s in her room. Will this do all that?

[@marieainsworth5818]

I work for the Home Depot in neurological department and I never have the right information. There’s not enough that you can just grab. To help the customer. I will definitely recommend this app to my associate and my customers you’re doing a fantastic job. Thank you so much. I had just gotten one for my birthday. Happy holidays to you.

[@siuabc]

Can you setup an icon to quick dialing for someone? To be used by senior

[@allenlefoofy2]

Love the video! Is there a tutorial on how you can set up the Echo Show to automatically show a live feed when someone rings the Ring doorbell?

[@shayzee7075]

Can the Blink system be synced to Echo?

[@pathommakan7097]

Great walk through. It help me a lot before getting one. I wanted to see what does and what not.

[@SteveDOES]

Glad it was helpful!

[@flawlessrs]

Great summary!!

[@renastarr7977]

Is there a way to just have it display routines throughout the day? Or to set certain images at a certain time - I really want to use it to reinforce time blocks/habits and for calendar

[@gabriellet2822]

This was super helpful! I think with the Black Friday sales they have going on this is the perfect investment for the family! Thank you so much :)

[@johnhuggins5021]

I looked at your Website, but do not see you reviewing/setting up the Echo 5, 3rd Generation. Did you do a video on that generation of the Echo 5? Reason I ask is because the 3rd Generation of the Echo 5 no longer has a USB port on the back next to the power plug in. Thank you for any feedback.

[@TheGodzilla2201]

I have an eco dot 5 and I like mine. I'm gonna get this in October when I have the money.

[@janbarber6204]

I received Echo 5 today as a Christmas gift to replace an old Spot, I hate having bright lights in the bedroom at night and am still struggling to find a decent clock face that is a nighttime colour , not those garish purples and greens etc. I am having to cover it with a scarf . !

[@MrSchuits]

Thanks for the video. Our company is offering us gifts and this is one of the choices. I already have an echo dot that I won, and I find it useless except for asking what the weather will be. Without any smart home devices I don't see what I would use this for that my smart phone can't do. I guess I'll go for one of the other options.

[@jessicaaguirre1755]

If you install some smart colorful bulbs, the dot can be fun 😂

[@MrSchuits]

@@jessicaaguirre1755 Actually ended up buying 2 smart plugs so I didn't need to fit switches. Now I just use the dot to turn an outside light and a water feature on and off.

[@leeanntheobald9110]

My mom is considering buying a echoshow I have one and love it thanks for your video

[@MAYZEE123]

I see they yt app is available but not yt music. Is that app available to use for music?

[@SteveDOES]

I just checked and YT Music is not an option at this time.

[@number1pappy]

I specifically purchased an echo show so I could automatically see who was at my front door whenever someone pushed my ring doorbell. Well, it doesn't work! Spent more time than I wanted with tech support trying to get it to work to no avail! It just doesn't work, period! Total waste of time and money, in my opinion.

[@SteveDOES]

Hmm, did support say why? It's been working for me.

[@stephengaffney840]

It does work. Link it as normal. Set up a routine to show the camera on the display.

[@hateinyoureyes5864]

You have setup a routine. It’s not the greatest experience but it works.

[@number1pappy]

@Stephen Gaffney well thats awesome, Steven Gaffney. It really is ,I'm so happy for you ,but you see, it doesn't work for me. Yes, I've tried routines as well. Even had tech support walk me Thru it. We tried everything from the modem to the factory reset on both the doorbell and the echo show. It will work if I ask ,"alexa,show me ring doorbell," but that's it! It won't do it automatically when someone pushes the doorbell or sets of the motion sensor. Ironically, it works just fine with my firestick connected to my TV. It's not just me! There are a plethora of people who can't get it to work as well. Both ring and Amazon are aware of this and have said they have been working on it. Ring gave me a case # and said a tech would be contacting me in the future. This was a good while back, and I haven't received said call. I'm not shocked! It's the only thing that doesn't work with my echo show. Everything else works perfectly! I have several routines throughout my house. This isn't my first rodeo.

[@SteveDOES]

@@number1pappy I'm curios, does the setup in the Alexa app go ok but when it comes to testing, it doesn't display or can you not even get it setup? Also, do they know if it's an Echo issue or a Ring issue?

[@BigBossMar10]

I just needed a loud alarm clock where i could set up multiple alarms for different days and everything else is just extra for me. probably will add pictures to have a cool picture frame as well.

[@mrchad97z49]

I use the echo show to open KZbin on my TV. But it always opens youtube or youtube tv on the echo show. The echo show is linked to my tv and it will turn my TV on and off and it will go to over the air stations as I specify, but it will not open youtube because it defaults to the echo show. how do I change that?

[@d11ita]

Excellent video, as always. Thanks!

[@SteveDOES]

Thank you!

[@namikage]

didnt know it worked as a security camera, thank you!

[@theteenagegardener]

Hi Steve, would you recommend this Echo Show 5 as an alarm clock for a nightstand? Is the display dimmable?

[@SteveDOES]

Yes I would. The display dims at night.

[@theteenagegardener]

Thanks! I will definitely consider it. I have also been looking at the Lenovo Smart Clock (2nd gen).

[@sandiebradley7362]

Also if you say “Alexa, turn off my screen” it shuts it off completely and it can be woken again by just saying Alexa!

[@socialbutterfly4146]

I just ordered one of these from Amazon. I already have an Echo and an Echo Dot! Would I use this in the same room as either of those? Or are they basically the same thing?

[@Pattymelt415]

What is on the top of my list is the ability to listen to my local radio stations. Can this do that? And even if the stations are not a part of heart?? If not what do you recommend? Thanks❤

[@onlydadopest]

Can you use it as a security camera like say someone walk in my room does it catch motion detection?

[@lynneallan1643]

Can i plug a firestick into my echo show and watch telly on it?

[@riiiiiiiick1111]

i listened to get how to do post-it notes or stickies. because when i say create a sticky it won't let me totally finish adding my message. i believe i was doing something wrong but you didn't mention anything about those

[@lexlopez15]

Sticky notes are just that, notes...if it's not letting you finish then your note is probably too long...trying keeping your notes to 1 sentence.

[@michellewatson7152]

What is it used for? Can u use with security cameras?

[@rje0116]

Can you tell me what stand that is? Where to get it? Thanks for a great video!

[@tecter100]

You can get the stand on Amazon about 20 bucks..

[@SteveDOES]

Hi Bob. Yas, David is right. It's the Adjustable Stand from Amazon. I'll add a link in the description.

[@PSA3377]

They're having they're black Fri sales right now !!❤🎉

[@en2oh]

Can this control a set top box ie with an IR repeater? My mother has limited vision so is restricted to using voice commands.

[@randolfmacdonaldstudies]

what is the name of your backing track is it downloadable? for easy listening and relaxation. Please share.

[@TeddyBoy7796]

Cheers for the video, great tips, also I like you way you put “Alexa” up whilst not having the word heard as the amount of times my Dot keeps getting alerted when other voices or the TV says Alexa drives me mad ha ha Thanks for the video, loads explained in it, my echo show is arriving tomorrow and now I know a lot more how it works, cheers from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👍🏻

[@ericwomack5885]

Do the Readyland books for kids work with the Echo show lineup?

Does it support Arlo cameras and Lorex cameras?

Great video! I recent purchased mine and wanted to know how to navigate. Thank you 👏

[@earlvansickle9794]

Awesome video! Just found you, can Blink cameras and door bell link we the Echo show5 and dots? How do I access your video library?

question I have an echo dot and echo show 5 when I ask dot where my stuff is it will tell me item and item description when i ask echo show 5 2nd gen same question will only tell me that an item will deliver and not what it is; all settings are set in alexa app to on for delivery updates. Do you have any thoughts on this? thanks in advance.

[@patrickm.mccracken6256]

My mother is in a memory care unit about 2-hours from me. If I put a fire-stick in the tv in her room, can I “drop-in” on her echo-show and get my image to show on her tv, via the fire-stick?

[@SteveDOES]

No, not that I’m aware of.

[@williampennjr.4448]

what is the best hub that works with it?

[@deltadaun8300]

Humm. I just set up a couple echos in my elderly parents home, If i install the echo show in their home will I be able to log on from my phone to check in n them?

[@SteveDOES]

Great question. As long as they’re registered on your account you should be able to.

[@queenhayden7060]

I do a lot of cooking I just bought one on Amazon. Am I able to pull up recipes on this? Just bought it for my ring camera

[@SteveDOES]

Yes you can.

[@mandybuffery7607]

I have a question? I have MANY photographs, stored in my loft. Taking up space, and I never look at them. Would an Echo Show be the thing for me. I know I am going to have to use my iphone to screenshot each photo. Which will be a long job. Then upload onto said device. If I wanted to then retrieve photo again to say have it printed off is that easy. Sorry i'm no too technical . TIA xx

[@bambamdubster]

Great work explaining the device. Thank you!!

[@UIV7096]

Great video! Questions 1. Do you hv a video on how to set this up from house to voice video calling to talkin to family in another state? 2. A video on how to video call from a flat screen tv ? Ty

[@dianaralucaolaru3434]

just got this device and it doesn't have Netflix app or KZbin app. The only thing is Prime video. same with radio. What do you think is the problem?

[@lexlopez15]

I have KZbin but not Netflix. It could be that they removed it for the show 5 since the screen might be too small.🤔 If you ask Alexa to put on Netflix she'll suggest another device which means it's not available for that particular device.

[@legadoagency7974]

Will this work when I take it with me to Istanbul turkey

[@moonlightsoldier8443]

Just wondering if I can put some of my own apps on it

[@BrianHallmond]

Is it any good for productivity?

[@lexlopez15]

Depends on the productivity, but I'd say yes to an extent. You'd have to be more specific though.

[@lawrencedecker3453]

Can the echo show 5 be paired with the echo studio.

[@TimeAndMe]

Hi i have this device. But when we swipe the sreen the setting option is not coming. Can you tell me how can i resolve this issue. .? Can you help me..?

[@John-es7zn]

Does it chime when ring doorbell is pressed?

[@SteveDOES]

Yes

[@bcardamone]

Does it need to be more than 2mp on a 5-inch screen? It’s just a video call

[@mikechrissan]

Good video!

[@nilankeperera982]

How does sound quality compare to a echo dot 3ED

[@melissasmith5278]

I purchased this to be able to video call my elderly parent who does not have. Smart phone. Can you video call into his home with this? Or can I only view home but not speak with him or him see me?

[@frankom5312]

How possible it’s to connect wired internet to the Echo Show 5? Because with the Echo Show 15 that option isn’t work.

[@stacyhughes5530]

I bought an Echo show based off of one of ur video's. We have a love/hate thing going on. I find myself yelling at it. And it, being like one of the kids, ignoring me. I'll start off telling it to shut off at a normal tone... and by the end, Im losing my mind screaming "Alexa TUUUURN OOOFFFF!!!!!"

[@SteveDOES]

I’ve had to start doing that more and more with my echo devices too. Yet the kids talk to it with a normal or low tone and it works perfectly fine. Is it me?

[@FirstBossWolf]

How can I delete the round white icon with the hand and touch finger symbol on it? It is in the corner of my display screen and blocking the time/date display. Please help!

[@lexlopez15]

By touching it. Or go into the display settings and there is a toggle to turn it off.

[@ryanhale7211]

Who’s here because they got a echo show for Christmas

[@chiquitaallen6549]

I’m still using my dot because I can’t get this set up still 7 months later it’s just been in the box

[@robloxfan4271]

one thing i hate with mine is the annoying ads! i went thru all the settings yet i still can't get rid of them!

[@mikepruett1745]

can this work if i get this for someone that has a old flip cell with no apps for his account ??

[@lexlopez15]

Not sure what you're asking...this doesn't really require a phone to be functional. It's just easier to add and remove things with the app for it..also, if the person wanted to send pictures to it they would not be able to with an old flip phone.

[@ken2199]

Please help. Amazon can't help me. They cant figure out whats wrong with my Echo Show 5 3rd Gen even they already replaced my unit. Whenever Spotify is playing, the song always freezes on the last 15 seconds before the end. And its painfully slow even on responding. Unlike my Echo Dot, always fast and seamless. I even talked to Amazon rep and we tried everything and still did not solve the issue.

[@editharmstrong5267]

how do I hook up my ring to my device

[@scotttaylor3131]

So you said we could turn off certain pop up’s but didn’t say if the white color or the blue color is off.

Can I use this to view my rings video live 24/24?

[@tweetyuno]

I like to get an echo device, but I don't wanted with Alexa incorporated, is there one without Alexa?

[@noma11erwho]

😂

[@lexlopez15]

Amazon makes all echo devices and they put Alexa on everything they own. If you don't want Alexa then try one of the Google products. It will do the same thing except instead of saying "Alexa..." you'll have to say "hey Google"

[@kiefervandenberg]

Ok all geeat but cant u do most things this on your phone or tablets/ipad?

[@lexlopez15]

Yes, but this is to keep on a nightstand or desk. Some people aren't into picking up their phones for every little thing when they get home. Not to mention if you live in a big house with a big family then it's very useful as an intercom instead of yelling back and forth.

[@JimFantazzia]

I want it to just be a smart clock, they keep pushing out advertising, tips, etc...on the screen, I keep turning those things off but they find new ways to splash the screen, getting tired of it. I'm holding out hope that they wise up (probably not) or Apple makes one that has zero advertising on it, because advertisements suck!

[@SteveDOES]

This is why the Nest Hub is my favorite smart display. It only displays my personal photos, along with the date, time and weather.

[@c-tech_]

Same. Ended up putting the show in the junk bin and now have the nest hub and love it!

[@QueenNeferTT4Eva]

Check out the Lenovo smart clock. Very basic. Shows the time and weather and has Google instead of Alexa

[@DanAshby]

I like the calendar reminder 'pick up girls by 4pm' - Jeez this guy must have some sick game

[@TheNobleLoyalist]

Ill remark... 😂😅 Nice dude, LOL, nice!!🫡🫡 ( I'm sure there have been more than a dozen or two that came upon your comment and laughed. But no one left even a thumbs up. Your reply was Top Notch. Comedy gold and deserving of the few minutes out of the day to let you someone, ME, noticed it, understood it and give attention to it where due!

[@brinamata1720]

How do you install the apps ? It is not letting me

[@lexlopez15]

It doesn't have apps to install, it has what they call skills. The apps that come preinstalled like KZbin and Netflix are preinstalled, you can't add anymore unless Amazon decides to update it with more apps.

[@medina1718]

How do you add widgets?

They are not available on the show 5.

Thank you so much for muting the word "Alexa" in the video!

[@reneamaro8476]

I have an Echo Show 10, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 5. Presently my echo show 5 is not connected because I don't know how to turn the screen off on it. The screen will shut off on Echo Show 10 and Echo Show 8 but Echo Show 5 did not used to shut off. Have they changed the software so now the Echo Show 5 screen will shut off I really would like to use it but the idea of a screen on 24/7 is so annoying

[@lexlopez15]

Set it to do not disturb and it will only display a clock...if you want to completely turn it off, unplug it.

[@joebeane3374]

Steve - here is what I’m trying to accomplish with the 5 - can I? I live away from children (4) and grandchildren (9). With all different schedules speaking/FaceTiming all of them on a regular basis successfully is very time consuming. So it would be great if I could make a short video couple times a week about things on my end and ?s about their lives to send to them in mass and they can view on their end (I’m willing to buy everyone an echo if this works) whenever convenient for them and then do their own video to send back. Voicemails and texts just aren’t the same as seeing their faces. Hope that’s clear enough for an answer. Thank you.

[@Jackie.D329]

Can’t you just make a video and send it to them via text or email? I don’t think you need to buy 13 echoes for this. I feel like there’s an easier and faster way that everyone already has access to. I hope you found a solution though

[@Frip36]

"On the top of the device we've got three buttons. Meert, volume down, volume up." What the heck does a meert button do? 1:24

[@omgcrisbreezy]

Just wish Amazon didn’t push so many ads. Legit forced to see an ad every minute.

[@lexlopez15]

You can turn those off in settings so it shows what you want and what you don't want. Everything is turned on by default...also, if all you want to see is a clock and nothing else put it on Do Not Disturb or ask Alexa to go into do not disturb.

How to make echo as Screen tv on old tv

[@lexlopez15]

If you're asking how to watch the echo show on an old TV? You can't by itself, you can however get a firestick lite for $20 which has Alexa built in and can do everything the echo show can do.

[@sonatae143]

Hello how are ? Wondering if you can make a video on video calling like FaceTiming on your phone

[@lexlopez15]

Yes, you would need to install the Alexa app on your phone though.
