Amazon’s Echo Show 10 is a sleek gadget for its ability to move with you while streaming videos and making calls friends and family. But for a smart screen of whom all the reason for being its support for these uses, the Echo Show it did not have an important application used universally during the pandemic: Zoom.
When Gizmodo reviewed the Eco Show 10 last month, a spokesman said at the time that support for Zoom “would arrive soon.” This support has finally arrived, which makes a good gadget quite fantastic. Customers with third-generation Echo Show 10 can now ask Alexa to join Zoom or Amazon Chime meetings using orders such as: “Alexa, join my meeting,” “Alexa, join my Zoom meeting,” or “Alexa, join my Amazon Chime meeting.”
Echo Show 10 can start hands-free meetings once the calendar has been linked through the Alexa app (which also works like support for some other services, such as music apps). Amazon says its voice assistant “will automatically start your scheduled meeting completely hands-free without the need for the meeting ID or password; just confirm the title of the meeting you want to join.”
Zoom had been a major blind spot of the device given its use, so compatibility with Echo Show 10 is welcome. The only other major flaw of the device, however, was the compatibility with a greater number of applications. transmission.
A dedicated YouTube app, for example, would be a minimal addition to Echo Show 10’s current line of streaming apps, which include Food Network Kitchen, Happy TV, Hulu, NBC, Netflix, Prime Video, Redbull TV, and Tubes. It is currently accessible via a web browser, but a dedicated app would be useful for things like picking up where you left a video.
