Zoom meeting on Echo Show 8

Zoom meeting on Echo Show 8

Zoom at home service comes to Google Nest Hub Max and Amazon Echo Show 8. It is different from the Alex for Zoom Rooms skill.

To make it simple, it means user can join Zoom meeting with Echo Show 8 (but not Echo Show 5).

There are a few ways to join a Zoom meeting from Echo Show, you can get it from the official website for the detail instructions. For me I take some simple steps:

"Alexa, open Zoom meeting"
Join a zoom meeting with ID. This ID is from the host, or the URL of the zoom meeting. I don't even sign on to Zoom.

If the simple steps doesn't work, follow the help from Zoom support.

My short review of using Zoom meeting on Echo Show 8. User interface and fuctions are quite similar with the Zoom application on desktop. Can change the view, mute audio, disable video. Unable to chat with text, but can received text from the others. I am happy with it.

Zoom at home works on Echo Show 8 and not Echo Show 5, not sure about Echo Show 10. Since Show 10 is newer device, expect Zoom will worked on Show 10, if it doesn't for now.
