## Questions & Answers

**Q: nice device but i am always bothered by the power cord when i need to be in yoga.**
A: Similar problem,  I need to buy a long socket board and connect a long power cord until I bought the ES8 of GGMM, it helps me solve this issue

**Q: How well does this work with the Ring doorbell? I am looking to buy it specially for the Ring**
A: I have been very impressed, the view via the doorbell camera is really good, clear and sharp. The audio is good as well. One tip, using the camera with the battery doorbell, does mean the battery soon goes flat, using the mains adapter is much better.

**Q: Can I play YouTube through it?**
A: But only through the web browser. For some reason the YouTube app isnt available on the Show 8 2nd edition (2021).

**Q: I can play bbc sounds on my other echo devices, can i get bbc iplayer on the echo show?**
A: We've had an echo show 10 wich we returned, one of the main reasons was the fact that we could not properly use bbc iplayer and YouTube. The device would just close the browser after a little bit. Quite annoying and clearly going againts what they were advertising. 
Amazon clearly knows about the issue as its being a problem in echo devices since they came out, so they just refunded me the full amount of it after using it for around 6 months.

*by T***K on 12 July 2025*

I got hold of the Echo Show 8 (2nd generation) back in 2022, and it quickly became an indispensable part of my home. If you're looking for a smart display that truly delivers, look no further.The HD display is crisp and vibrant, making video calls, recipe following, or even just checking the weather a real pleasure. The 13 MP camera is a huge upgrade for video calls – friends and family have commented on how clear the picture is, and the auto-framing feature is surprisingly useful, keeping you centered even if you move around a bit.Alexa is, as always, incredibly responsive and helpful. From managing my calendar and setting reminders to playing my favorite music and controlling smart home devices, it handles everything seamlessly.

It's intuitive, powerful, and genuinely enhances daily life. Highly recommended!
