UPDATE: Getting a live view with a button press from a Eufy doorbell does not work. I reached out to Eufy to troubleshoot this and they responded with this... "We appreciate your support in Eufy. Please rest assured that we always stand behind our products, sorry for any disappointment, please note that the feature "Auto Live Streaming: When someone rings the Doorbell, a real-time video of the doorbell will display on the device with Alexa" is not supported. We've consulted with Amazon via email about this issue and their reply is 'Not Support'."
wow! that's the main reason why I bought the echo show. if they don't support the live stream on the echo show, why have they got all the functionality listed on their Alexa app. I think it's time to return my echo show :-(
I'm not sure why but the live stream (annoyingly) IS supported on the Amazon Fire TV stick. So when the doorbell rings, whatever I'm watching gets interrupted.
I am trying to do same with Eufy doorbell with Google home display and I test it still I can not get the video like on my google display. Please if you have any idea let me know. Thanks
Thanks Steve! Eufy doorbells can automatically show live view now? I thought it had to be asked manually...and it's SLLLLLOOOOOWWWW at buffering. My only gripe with cam doorbells, by the time they load up, the person has usually left..
To stream Eufy live view, you need to make a routine when doorbell is pressed. Use a customized action saying “show (name of) doorbell” on whichever echo device you choose. You can also do a separate routine with a custom wait command after doorbell press to end live view, custom action saying similar to “stop live view.” Only downside, besides the already long latency with the more affordable model cameras, is it can only live view to one echo device.
Glad to hear that, i'll have to start making more of these quicker How To's. And yes, Amazon just launch a web version of the Alexa app. You can check it out here. alexa.amazon.com/
Great video, thank you! I just have a question, how do you get the Echo show to automatically stop showing the live view? Atm I’m having to manually turn them off on the screen and I wish it would automatically turn off after say 30 seconds?
Very useful info , i already have ring doorbell 2nd gen and i wonder if echo show 5 has this feature, when someone ring it to automatically display on it...?
I bought a echo show 15 and linked it with a ring doorbell as you explained. But I can't get it to auto-show the doorbell camera when the ring button is pressed. Have you tried this with show 15? any tips? thank you!
@@shaolin95 actually it works for me, i made this comment while my video doorbell is on its way. i made a routine in Alexa app with the doorbell press as trigger and customised an order saying "Alexa, show me videodoorbell"
If I had known the feature "Auto Live Streaming: When someone rings the Doorbell, a real-time video of the doorbell will display on the device with Alexa" is not supported, I wouldn't have bought it. My devices have been having trouble with latency issues since 2021. My Alexa Echo Show 8 used to make an announcement when the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K was pressed / detected emotions, or it showed on the screen that "someone is at the door". Now the Alexa stops doing that altogether. Having tried many tips online, I couldn't find a solution. Appreciate your input.
I use Google home for almost everything in the house at home, but have a Ring Doorbell. It has long been frustrating not to be able to see an automatic live view when there is a motion. So what you are saying is that I can now just buy an Echo show 5 and then I get an automatic live feed when there is an motion? :)
When the live view appears is the sound turn on, and can you automatically hear if someone is talking to the ring doorbell, or do you have to tell alexa to turn on the volume?
I have successfully set my doorbell to show on my echo show 8. One thing I was wondering though. How do I set it so it’s full screen? When my doorbell appears on the echo show it appears in a smaller box in the top left hand corner. I can’t seem to find a way of making it full screen! Can you help me with this?
can you please get back to me? I have a question for you. I have the Arlo Ultra cameras outside. how do you automatically get them to show up on your TV when someone walks in front of your camera
Using the Nest Doorbell + Alexa Show 10, I do not see where the notifications you were talking about appears in the Alexa app. I can tell Alexa to show "front door" But I can not see how to get it to go on automatically when someone rings the doorbell. Perhaps you can try it and make a video showing how this can be done.
I am new to echo and Ring bell. Can just the ring bell used a device to monitor front door? I mean where can the display be seen when someone comes at door? Also can this ring bell be used as a standalone device for say baby monitoring ie not using as a bell instead a device to stream
Can I have front and back view not just one multiple point. I am asking if one can have same one camera with multiple screens that can be installed in front garden and back garden and can trigger both sides of the house. I understand that you are showing from door appearing on multiple screens
Can somebody help me with this question? I want to buy a EUFY doorbell ( a smart doorbell for that matter), if someone rings the doorbell i want to automatically see it on a screen (like the google nest hub 2). Does anybody know if this will work? I know that the nest doorbell and nest hub work great together, when you ring on the nest doorbell it automatically show the camera feed on the nest hub 2, but the google ecosystem has subscription packages which i dont like
I've set up the Eufy doorbell with the echo 8 and the live video shows perfectly when the doorbell button is pressed but is there a way to have Alexa go back to the home screen automatically after a period of time?
@@Gymclasszero_c Link the eufy software and amazon alexa software together. ONce thats done, click More > Routines the add a new routine.

hallo steve, can i use lower version of the RING doorbell, instead of the Pro 2, say like the followingn type? Ring WIFI 1080p 2nd Gen ? and still compatible with my echo hub?
Interesting... I bought a cheap camera that supposedly worked with the Echo Show... it took ten seconds for the image to appear on the Show's screen and it then had a lag of about seven seconds. Sent the camera back. This looks better but there's still quite a delay between the doorbell ringing and seeing an image.
I managed to get the echo to ring but I don’t get any video, not sure if it’s because it’s on a family account and linked from one of the family users and not main account
hi there, im looking for a cheap indoor camera that could work with my alexa, i want to be able to see and talk through my alexa device.... is there any camera that you know that could work? please help
Been trying for the last few days to get my Eufy battery 2k doorbell to connect to my echo show 8 2nd edition and it just does not work. Don't know what we are doing wrong, or is this just another thing that does not work in the UK. Getting fed up of paying good money for items being sold here in the UK that only work in the US.
Great video, can ALEXA show you the doorbell camera, ( in my case EUFY 2K WIRELESS ) and TURN ON the MIC so that i can have a 2-way conversation with who is at the door?
I tested that out last year and even though Eufy says it works i wasn't able to get it to work. BUT it has been a year since i last tried so let me try again and get back to you.
How do you get it show automatically on the echo show. I have to say Alexa show me the front door camera? I would like it to just come straight on the screen, that way if it's someone I don't want to answer to, they haven't just heard me ask Alexa to show who is there 🤣
Is there a voice command to unmute the ring? It is inconvenient to have to be physically close to the show device to hit the unmute button if I want to speak through the doorbell
Please, how can I stop video to show on my device? I've noticed that it stays for a loooong time unless that I stop it with my finger on the screen, but i want to stop it by saying some commands to my echo show. Thanks in advance.
I am using 2nd generation echo show 10inch and eufy 2k battery powered doorbell. Trying to connect together but after pressing the bell button video is not streaming can u plz help me .
If you are in the UK I don't think it works. We have been trying for the past 2 days to set up and nothing works. Going to send Eufy back and get a ring doorbell.
My Alexa app will only allow me to select 1 of my Echo Show devices. I would like for 2 of them to show me the Blink doorbell camera upon doorbell press and motion detection.
I think it would be a helpful video if you moved slow enough to follow. You need to remember people are looking at a computer screen then trying to find these things on their phone and press buttons. I'm half way through the video and have backed up and paused about ten times. I suggest you cover the same things but make the video about 15 minutes instead of 4. Moving on to someone else.
I've done this to my Ring 4 but it still doesn't automatically show on my SHOW 5. All devices will announce vocally, but I need to say "Alexa, show front door" to get the video feed. It's SO ANNOYING.
would be nice if my works but you already linked will not help up, becouse ring won't work and the show will not work with ring.... next time show how to do this with a new step by step. so us dumb people could follow

I'm not sure why but the live stream (annoyingly) IS supported on the Amazon Fire TV stick. So when the doorbell rings, whatever I'm watching gets interrupted.
I invested a lot in Eufy ecosystem, with a doorbell and many 2C cameras; that's disappointing. Let us know if this changes anytime soon.
I am trying to do same with Eufy doorbell with Google home display and I test it still I can not get the video like on my google display. Please if you have any idea let me know. Thanks
Thank you for the quick setup video. I appreciate it when a video is under 20 minutes for a quick setup
You bet!
Is it possible that it will automatically show on the echo when motion is detected on the ring? Thanks for the video.

This worked amazingly. Thank you
You should do a video to show this. I have no technology knowledge so was really struggling
Only downside is what?
Love the short and straight to the point video, Steve! May I know if we can do the same settings via a web browser instead of Alexa mobile app?
Glad to hear that, i'll have to start making more of these quicker How To's. And yes, Amazon just launch a web version of the Alexa app. You can check it out here. alexa.amazon.com/
Is the video activated by motion or does the doorbell have to be pushed
Any news on this??
It can be done for both
On show 15 I can only get video on doorbell press
Yeah I had same question.. I set it up using the instructions with the device
It’s only for the doorbell push. As of May 2024, motion in ring cameras are not an option for the automatic display on a show.
I might have to get myself a video doorbell, and Ring is at the top of my list based on this video. Thank you 👍
i ordered ring and eufy . I'm not tech savvy but the eufy worked better personally but see what works for you
Great video, thank you! I just have a question, how do you get the Echo show to automatically stop showing the live view? Atm I’m having to manually turn them off on the screen and I wish it would automatically turn off after say 30 seconds?
Great video - do you know how to allow the video to stay on longer than a few seconds though?
Very useful info , i already have ring doorbell 2nd gen and i wonder if echo show 5 has this feature, when someone ring it to automatically display on it...?
For how long will display live view ? Could drain doorbell batteries if stays on live view

2 different ecosystems
Hi steve , what a generation your eco 5 is ?
When the live view appears is the sound turn on, and can you automatically hear if someone is talking to the ring doorbell, or do you have to tell alexa to turn on the volume?
Does Nest hub allow you have 2 way talk thru the ring door bell and ring security cameras?
Does this work with ring spotlight camera or just doorbell
Great video, can the motion detectors on the ring floodlights activate the display on the echo as well
You can do that with Alexa routines.

I’m having the same problem. Did you find a solution?
when echo is showing the video ask alexa to show you full screen.

Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy doing these quicker how to videos too. Much easier than the in-depth ones. :)
How about the reolink doorbell can also be use for that echo 15?
Does automatic live view work with the eufy doorbell duo?
Is there a video of you with the same procedure but with a google nest hub and a chinese doorbell?
have eufy updated enough to run with echo show to display doorbell
When you say “right here” can you specify where you are on the app?
