Hands-free video conferencing using Alexa is now possible on a number of Amazon’s Echo devices.
Ahead of the holidays, Amazon has added new video calling features including the ability to use Zoom and other video conferencing software to its Echo devices. Users in the US will now be able to join their family or friends in a group video call with just their voice by simply saying “Alexa, call my family” or “Alexa, join my Zoom meeting” to connect to supported Amazon Echo devices such as an Echo, Echo Dot or Echo Show. In order to set this up, only one users will need to create and name a group in their Alexa app and then any member of that group can start a group call by saying “Alexa call my [group name]”.
