Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1168
Hey, Teri here, hope you’re having a great start to your weekend. Saturday, let’s talk about some commands and I’ve got one specific command for you today, which I think is pretty fun.
And I alluded to it just recently and that’s all about using your Echo Show devices, the ones with the camera, as a camera to actually create some photos and turn your device into a photo album.
So the way you do this is you can also say in addition to the command I gave you the other day, you can say, “Alexa, open photo booth”, and when you say that, you actually get four different options.
You can then say select one, which is the first option, which is single shot, you can say select two, which is video mode, you can say select three which is four shot and you can say select four, which is your photo booth album.
The thing to note is that you can’t actually delete photos from the device
And so each one of those things will allow you to do just that, take a single photo, go into video mode, take four shots in succession, or have a look at your photos in your album.
And of course, if you’re on the show, the Echo Show device, you can just push the icon for each of those options as well.
The thing to note is that you can’t actually delete photos from the device you have to go to the Amazon photo, either app or on the web, but it’s pretty cool.
So play around some more with that, I just sort of discovering this for myself and having some fun with it and hope you have fun with it as well.
Hope you have a great Saturday and I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
