Thank you checking out this video. For more Amazon related videos, check out this playlist: bit.ly/3H5H6lI

[@stclairstclair]

Finding I had an equalizer that I could adjust was a game changer, Oh Much better sound reducing that midrange! Thanks again!

[@H.J.G]

Thank you for not activating my Alexa by muting the word in your video! So thoughtful! 😂

[@alarce129]

Thank you so much for actually taking us through the steps and not just talking about it.

[@miguelprada5465]

I recently bought two of these echo shows, and I really loved them.

[@VintageCharms]

My Echo dot that I purchased back in 2018 is finally giving out. She’s been a trooper. Time for a major upgrade 😊

[@stclairstclair]

Try a different power supply, just make sure it puts out enough power like the original before giving up on it.

[@himora3804]

Finally!! a video that shows how hub works in this device...excellent video

[@mountainsunsets]

Thanks for the video. Great refresher video for me.

[@KimSevern]

Why can't it mute or change the brightness or maximize the ring camera pip or on and on and on by voice commands. Is there a forum somewhere? Do they work on these major shortfalls? Thanks for the video!

[@chrisphilips9684]

Is it possible to connect to an existing thread network instead of creating its own amazon thread network? Want to use it as a border router and not the main hub

[@jodymeadows7652]

Just received. Never used an echo before, but I need assistance with making lists, etc. I subscribed!😊

[@SEAWEEDER1]

just bought 10 of these have them everywhere including greenhouse , now when away i can access the camera along with my ring cameras and make sure everything is ok. I can also see who's at my door from any room. Can't seem to link the nest thermostat up yet. If i forget to turn a light off i just ask now. Live in the remote highlands of Scotland so this is great keeping an eye on my house and should i have an accident i just shout hey echo call....

[@ryuzclown1]

Can this use outlook full screen? I’m looking and needed a display to just constantly show my outlook calendar

[@davidfarrell1062]

How do I get echo show to display the next calendar item on the home screen. The calendar is syncing fine and I can say show calendar and it does but I cant get it to display any upcoming appointments on the home screen that i can see without clicking somewhere. Seems a bit silly. Is it not capable or need someting enabled ?

[@tinahoots-young8949]

Must I use the ECHO earbuds with the Echo Show 8 gen3?

[@SRX2004]

I recently got the new Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen). I also have the 1st gen. On my 1st Gen while connected to my bluetooth earbuds I can tap the earbuds and pause, skip or go back while listening to music on Pandora. I tried this on the new 3rd gen and it's not working. Was this feature removed from the 3rd Gen Echo Show 8 or is there a setting I need to adjust? Update - I just hooked up my old 1st gen Echo Show 8 and even though it's slower my bluetooth devices work properly with it. I can adjust the volume, pause, play, track forward and track back all with my bluetooth devices. This 3rd gen is being returned.

[@Emerelle03]

Forgive me for this stupid question, but can I access my NAS on my router from this? I have not found an easy walkthrough for the connectivity yet!

[@quackmoment]

another fantastic video!

[@theorganicindian]

Is it possible to connect this toy vintage hifi system using it as a music player?

[@elwinsmith9956]

Is there a way to only show my pictures in full screen instead of full screen with a smaller picture in the middle ?

[@camysia]

Help me! Got a 15 for Christmas. Moved my 8 to another room, but now I’m not receiving ring camera notifications on my 8. What am I doing wrong?

[@georgebrodie9795]

Hey Steve maybe you can tell me because I looked all over and I can’t find out what generation echo show 8 I have because my echo show 8 only has three buttons on top and I am unable to close the camera. Any thoughts. Thanks

[@GuillaumedeMachautsferret]

My Pop has dementia and I'm hoping this could be used to make phone calls. Is the Alexa call function able to call someone's landline?

[@randello84]

Can you connect and control a smart TV via echo show 8?

[@MrBBang]

Thanks for the excellent video and subscribed. A++

[@robsavage3292]

Thanks mate, how do you set it up as a sensor to switch other devices on please? For example some lights when I get up in the middle of the night to let the dog out…..

[@DSmithandCo]

Or smart light bulbs that are controlled by Alexa

[@mayday000]

it is possible to watch youtube on echo show 8?

[@samkitty5894]

I got one of these for Christmas. Trying to set it up. Does not respond to touches or swipes. Looks like junk so far...

[@hughvines4585]

Great video just got one

[@shardie78239]

There are down to 89 bucks. I have a speaker so it’s good I can connect. I was not aware it could do 80 percent of what you were showing. I wonder if you can watch movies from your TV as well?

[@MizzRedPisces22]

You cant stream from phone to the show8?

[@saurabhtyagi7543]

Great video mate. I think Aqara door bell puts up the live video when someone presses the bell. So it is just not the ring. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@ABC589]

That's correct. However, I think it's only Ring Doorbells that can show the feed automatically without creating a routine prior to the doorbell ring.

[@DanielFarrell-sg1bd]

I just installed my new echo 8 and I don't know how to change the time or weather location

[@mdnkln]

Best video ever!!

[@AnomieDomine]

I wish you talked more about the audio, this device is in a weird spot between a full featured tablet or speaker

[@clive7788]

Nice one Steve ..🍺🍺🍺

[@robotmaster597]

Is ther a update on the device cuse i want a update

[@angeliahernandez3519]

Is it possible to have a Google Meet or a Zoom call from the Eco show 8th gen?

[@pokermaestro]

I dont think so

[@lisabielss9490]

My Echo Show 8 does not do any of this. I think it is faulty. No swipe down, no swipe left or right. Sending it back for a new one. It is just a pain in the butt at this point. Your video is great - helped me understand it wasn't just me having a hard time using it. Thank you!

[@stclairstclair]

What generation do you have, they're not all the same.

[@dianeburch6106]

Mine also will not let me scroll up, down, left or right. Mine is an Echo Show 8, 3rd gen.

[@MaysamHussain-b2k]

10:32 what about blink doorbells? Amazon owns blink.

[@ponzone99]

Is it possible to connect to Ethernet with an adapter dogle

[@SteveDOES]

Unfortunately no.

[@TheMlp7777]

I ONLY WANT TO KNOW THE HOW IT WORKS WITH THE RING DOOR BELL AND CAMERAS

[@mikechrissan]

Good video

[@choppergirl]

The only application I see for this, is apparently it works a heck of a lot faster than the slow as molasses Alexa app on your phone... which you have to use to setup... and resetup... devices... (when Alexa loses them). OMG is the Alexa app so painfully slow on the smart phone, it's like it has to load it's GUI interface across the internet for every... single.... screen.

[@theOriginalPeerGynt]

Ok. That's funny. I use the wake word "Echo" in my office too and no, it doesn't stop when you ask it to.

[@Iceflkn]

I just gotta ask...anyone open one of these to verify the camera cannot see through the shutter? Is the camera able to see Infrared/Near Infrared or only the same as a normal camera? After all, cameras have been released that would later be recalled because they could see through certain clothing people would wear. For example, certain nylons with the quality of being opaque at 380-780 nm. The shutter might be doing it's job or it might not be...🤔

[@lexlopez15]

1 problem I noticed with the echo 8 is if you have a profile (or contact) setup that you no longer want. There is no option to delete that profile , it only gives the option to rename. My cousin recently got an echo 8 and she asked me to delete a profile of her mother in law who passed away last year and I tried several times to delete it but I couldn't... Also, if you have more than 1 echo device how do you sync the information that you create so it shows up on your other devices... For example, if I create a reminder or sticky note on my echo 8 in the kitchen and I want to see my reminders on the echo 5 in my bedroom it can't show it to me and acts confused. She literally says she doesn't understand.😄

[@lexlopez15]

@@rubberonasphalt no, not if you decide not to import contacts from your phone and enter it manually. There was no delete option given, just rename.

[@joek468]

They should make it so you can reposition the clock into any corner you want instead of it being in the bottom left corner where "I" can't see it because my bed blocks that corner.

[@anguslean4058]

Agree Amazon needs to step up their game or these echo devices are gonna end up in the trash bin

[@david1731048]

I received one of these as a gift but I'll be honest I just don't get it. I have my ring doorbell on my phone, I can stream video to any TV in any room, and digital picture frames? How 2003!

[@anguslean4058]

Its a good desk top clock or maybe in a garage

[@cassies815]

Just got mine and she won’t stop playing thunderstorms by sleep jar..

[@Abrandnew3]

If I can’t watch my fire tv from my recast I don’t want it.

[@andreanele6705]

I must say, it is not a good choice. It does not work right, you have to repeat everything often and still it comes up with stuff you did not even ask for. It is very aggravating and I have to do most of it manually. I still have not found out, how to set the timer manually. Anybody any idea how to do that?

[@razzle2112]

such a big screen yet somehow the clock stays in the corner

[@stclairstclair]

I drop in on my wife, Right now I'm 1100 miles away from our summer home, So it's not limited to room to room.

[@GETTY-gr7gf]

It needs handles.

[@veloonbruts9707]

I thought the echo shows were only to read ads

[@DoctorRevers]

It’s way too complicated. I can’t even imagine my parents trying to set that thing up and using it problem free. Long way to go.

[@carrenoneal302]

My fantastic brother just bought my mother one. He lives in Texas. She lives in San Jose, California. And guess who else lives in San Jose, California? me, so I have to figure out how to make this thing work. And try to teach her how to make it work and she Is 90 years old!!!!! What was he thinking!!!!! Ugh to say the least!!!!!!!

[@albin2232]

It's a shame that nobody is buying them.

[@chrisa.8175]

Nothing new! That is why low watching.. my issue with my show. Is unwanted advertising and advice on my home screen . Amazon refuses to give the buyer to turn it off!!! Not great

[@joetutie5727]

10000000% agree

[@kevanmcnay3079]

@@joetutie5727….turn off constant rotating , infact turn everything off in display settings

[@anguslean4058]

Well imma gonna hook you up with a solution Change your language to English ( Canada ) Canada has struck spam laws Once you do this It will reboot and you will never ever never see another ad You can thank me many times for this.

[@jeromecash3851]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎✅

[@RonJames-xt3hx]

First time experience. This thing is broke. Touch screen will not swipe, and tappping doesn't work 99 percent of the time. Don't they check these at the factory.

[@elchancho8432]

I just got it today and I think I’m going to get a refund the forced ads are bullshit

[@joetutie5727]

Echo shows are great BESIDES THE FORCED SPONSORED ADS which are NOT REMOVABLE in home content page. AT LEAST let us buy out of ads. It’s so dumb.

[@anthonynguyen1663]

Nothing new compared to other standard devices...give 4 out of 10. False hope

[@tommythomas7576]

Try 1.25x. Thank me later. :)
