(2020-04-23) Amazons Echo Show Makes It Easy To Keep Family Together While Social Distancing

Amazon's Echo Show Makes It Easy to Keep Family Together While Social Distancing. The Amazon Echo Show is one of our top-pick smart displays (we also recommend the Google Nest Hub Max). These are devices that sit on your desk, countertop, or table and let you use many of the same types of apps and features a tablet would. Their standout feature is voice-activated video calling, an easy way for families to stay connected with isolated relatives. (smart display)

One thing you can’t do with an Echo Show is group chat; Echo Show video calls link only one device to another device. If you’re trying to get family members from multiple locations together, we recommend a Web-based video conference application.
