Q: Can I watch you tube videos and MAX videos?
A: You can watch YouTube by asking Alexa to play YouTube. I don’t believe you can watch “Max”.
Q: How do stop all the news and just show the time
A: Hi there! You can customize the home screen on the Echo Show 5 via the Settings menu. To do so: Say "Go to settings," or swipe down from the top of screen and select Settings. Select Home & Clock. Select Home Content. For each content option, turn the switch on or off to update what content appears. You can even upload pictures from your phone to use as a background! I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Q: Does this have photo slideshow option for a screen saver?
A: Hello! To set your personal photos as a background, use your Echo Show 5 device's on-screen settings. Follow these steps to change the background: 1. Say, "Go to settings," or swipe down from the top of screen and select Settings. 2. Select Home & Clock, and then Clock. 3. Select Personal Photos. 4. Select Background, and then select a supported photo service. 5. Choose the photo or photo album you'd like to set as your background. Have a great day!
Q: Would this work in room to call my mother so she can see me and talk to me
A: Hi Marsh! Yes, this Echo Show 5 can be used to make video calls, and she would be able to see video through the device from either a cell phone or another Echo Show 5. You can do this through the Alexa app by navigating to the Communication section and selecting Drop In. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
Q: Must I sign into my Amazon acct to change the settings on Echo 5? Thanks Bob
A: Hi Bob21. Thank you for your question. No need to access your account. You can do it directly on Echo Show 5. Swipe down from the top of the screen to make the menu appear, then select Settings. Have a great day!
Q: Does this feature a 1 touch intercom system to communicate with another echo show in the home?
A: Hi Intercom, thank you for your question. Echo Show 5 has a feature called "Drop In" which will effectively allow you to use the devices as intercoms. To activate this feature, please make sure both devices have Drop In enabled in your Alexa app. Then, to use the feature, simply say "Alexa, Drop In on (the name of the other device)." Hopefully this is helpful. Have a wonderful day!
A: Hi there! All of your Echo devices that are set up on the same Amazon account are automatically linked up to each other. You'll just need to link your Spotify account to your Amazon account, to do that: Open the Alexa app. Select More, then select Settings. Under Alexa Preferences, select Music & Podcasts. Select Link New Service. Select your preferred music service provider (Spotify) and follow the on-screen instructions. This will allow you to ask Alexa to play music from Spotify on any Echo device connected to your account. If you'd always like the Echo Show to play from the Echo Dot, you can set the Echo Dot as the preferred speaker under the Echo Show's device settings. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
Q: Does this show Netflix and tubi
A: Hi there! While the Echo Show 5 can play all your favorites from Netflix, it does not currently support Tubi. If you're looking for an Echo Show to use for TV, the Echo Show 15 has Fire TV built in now and absolutely has access to the Tubi app. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

Amazon Echo show 5, 3d generation 5.5 inch
The Amazon Echo 5 is a amazing device I highly recommend it, it has so many features that make you feel as though you have a personal secretary on call around the clock .I had the ability to use the echo to watch Netflix and some other video apps like YouTube and tik tok. it also has the ability to connect to the internet for web browsing, extremely easy to set up and having a Amazon account makes it even better because it gives you the freedom to be able to keep track of your purchases or to make purchases, it also notifies you if you return an item that you purchase so that way you know when your refund is on its way. It allows you to receive notifications so you can know when you're purchases are in route to you and when they have arrived. It can link to my security system which is a great feature you just have to give permission for it to do so, I love the fact that I can access my doorbell so I can see who's at my door and you can speak to them clearly. By the way you don't have to have all your devices be Amazon or Alexa for it to work with other cameras or doorbells. It will work with Google and it will also work with ADT and other cameras that you probably can purchase from other websites and I know this for a fact. I also like the ability to be able to access my other blink cameras in my home so that way I can know what's going on and also keep track of my pets which is a great ability to have. You can also make video calls and receive video calls or have someone drop in once the permission is granted to receive information like if I want to tell my children dinner's ready I can drop into the intercom or I can tell them to go check the mailbox or go walk the dog so that's what the drop-in feature allows .you also have your privacy because the echo comes with a switch that blocks the camera so you don't have to worry about thinking anyone is watching you plus you can mute the device so the device cannot hear you, you can even change the name so instead of calling it Alexa you can call it names like echo or Amazon. Schedule appointments find out what the weather is going to be, get reminders of anything like planning future vacations the list goes on. One of my relaxing enjoyments is telling Alexa to play meditation music or to watch soothing Shoreline water crash up against the shore or even having it display a aquarium when i go to bed. So honestly the list of things you can do is Limitless so I highly recommend it, give it a chance you'll enjoy it and remember you don't have to get the newest one to reap all the benefits some of the older models can do a lot of the same things and they come in bigger sizes which is why I purchase two more. Yeah it's a great display and you can use it for alarm clock one of my children had trouble sitting there alarm clock so now to be able to just tell it what time you want to be up or to remind you to work out make things so much easier plus if you are not available to your child and your child need help with homework you can ask the device questions and more than likely it will have the answer.

Its decent but has its flaws
I bought the echo Show 5 around 6 hours ago and so far I am liking it because its a decent alarm clock for my bedroom also the screen and speakers are pretty good also I like the fact that I can now control my Roku TV and govee smart lights just using Alexa even being able to use it as a security camera for my room and being able to use the echo show to watch prime video is really cool but I do have a few problems with the echo dot so far I’ve noticed that the charger falls out of the port way to easily also I hate the fact that you have sponsered ads right on the screen that you cant turn off and I have noticed that the device has been unresponsive at times especially compared to the google Nest Hub (7”) in my kitchen but except for these flaws its a good device
