See a Live View with Your Echo Devices with a Screen

Use your Echo device with a screen to access the live view from another Echo device with a screen.

To access the live view of your Echo device with a screen, Home Monitoring must be turned on. To turn on Home Monitoring, please refer to Set Up Your Echo Devices with a Screen for Home Monitoring. The viewing device doesn't need home monitoring setup.

Note: Settings menu items for the Echo Hub and Echo Show 5 (all generations) may vary, and those devices will receive a software update soon.

To access live view from your dashboard:

  1. Select the tile of the device you want to see.
Tip: To access the live view by voice, say, “Show me” followed by the name of your Echo Show device.

When using live view, double tap to zoom in, or use a pinching motion to zoom out. If the live view is on an Echo Show 10, you can swipe left or right on the screen to move the camera.
