Amazon's Echo devices can act as intercoms
Published on Jun 27, 2017
"Amazon is turning every Echo device into an intercom"Quote:
Just another way the online retailer and device maker is beating its competition.
If you've got multiple Amazon Echo devices throughout your home, you'll soon be able to use them as a connected intercom. Amazon just launched the feature today across the original Echo, Echo Dot and its new screen-toting Echo Show. We heard last month that the intercom capability was in the works, and it seemed like a given once Amazon brought hands-free calling and messaging across the Echo family. The company is rolling out the feature over the next few days, but be sure to update your Alexa app to access it.
It's a new addition to the Echo's hands-free calling feature.
