Can you describe the night mode feature... does it go completely dark? Like for no light when I sleep

@flexon2216 19 дней назад

Is it an echo dot with a screen, or is it a totally different thing? Like i can control alexa same as the dot?

@JayAaronNY 22 дня назад

Great at getting this out so quickly! I keep seeing this idea repeated that you can’t see the clock when playing music. Given that it’s only a day old, I get that folks don’t know this, but you CAN return to the Home Screen (the full clock) whenever you have audio playing. You’ll see the full clock, the audio will still play, and there’s a little icon on the bottom to tap to return to the audio screen if wanted. So that’s good news for folks who want to see the clock!

@draklane 22 дня назад

Yes, it's unfortunate that the time disappears when listening to something. How can we get back to the home screen? It's a bit tedious if we have to do this every time

@JayAaronNY 21 день назад

@@draklane Yes, so to clarify: I’m seeing the time still there when playing music (albeit very tiny on top). To get back to the almost full clock, you just swipe down from the top and click on the home icon. Hope this helps!

@stewartshine5197 21 день назад

Just say “Alexa go home”. I have 2 stereo paired Spots and I love the sound. It’s as good as such a tiny device could be, and better than my 2 Echo Show 5’s that they replace.

@paulgood29 16 дней назад

I'm glad you pointed out that the clock shrinks when you are listening to the radio or music....like you said it's very hard to see.

@CoffeeVibe 13 дней назад

I just noticed a small VU meter on the main screen! Do you know what it is for? Thanks!

@neli5p 21 день назад

Got mine ... surprised how basic it is! It'll never replace my echo show 5 in the bedroom and the screen is a bit small and dim. Not sure where I'll use it tbh, maybe in the kitchen.

@JayBoucher 19 дней назад

Do you happen to know if when you trigger a timer does the timer show on the clock face? The only reason I keep my show around is so I can actually see how much time is remaining versus constantly having to ask how much time is left.

@TheFrenchGlow 19 дней назад

Hi yes the clock face is shown and you see the countdown from start to finish. You can also return back to the normal clock face and the timer will be shown on the bottom with a countdown.

@nelsonrojas6429 22 дня назад

Thanks for the video as always, you showing the news first-hand. I have a question about this device, it is great for my bedroom. Can I see some of my Ring cameras or doorbell?

@TheFrenchGlow 22 дня назад

Hi! Thank you for the kinds words! Sadly, you cannot see ring or blink feeds on the echo spot.

@kenjohnson1594 20 дней назад

Hi, great video. I really like how you gave the pros and cons. I have on question, which is will I be able to turn on and off my lights and will I be able to connect the spot to other Amazon compatible devices?

@TheFrenchGlow 20 дней назад

Hi! Yes can you control your Alexa devices via the spot and turn your lights on and off.

@Bloodstryke 18 дней назад

Why did Amazon remove the clock display feature from the newest generation Echo Dot? This feature is a huge improvement to the previous gen Dot but they just took it away and now a Dot with display is hard to purchase.

@hieu.2024 20 дней назад

*how about audio quality of dot 5 vs spot 2024? which one is better?*

@dystoniaify 3 дня назад

He said the dot is better

@fresca718 19 дней назад

I’m going to be returning mine, only because when I tell Alexa to “loop Rain sounds”, the stupid music icon lights up my whole room every time it repeats the loop 7/10 times instead of returning to the dim red clock face.

@AdieAdie17 21 день назад

Ads? "Not yet.." And that's the 64 million dollar question isn't it? If all the other Amazon things is anything to go with, you can almost guarantee they'll be some sort of annoyance arriving soon enough 🙄

@reticularimus 21 день назад

8GB EMMC is pretty big internal storage for a clock radio. That is the same amount of storage as some Fire TV sticks. Can the user save audio files or anything else to the EMMC so that they don't have to be fetched from the internet? If not, what does it save to the EMMC. The operating system and apps can't possibly use more than 1/8th of that amount of storage.

@TheFrenchGlow 21 день назад

I think it's to store information for faster answers and in preperation for Alexa AI. AI can use that emmc up if you are having a conversation.

@StevenYoungcaptual 17 дней назад

@jaimeerobertswarz 16 дней назад

This is the replacement for the original Echo Spot. Thats why it’s called the Echo Spot 2024. However it fails to carry over the full circle display, camera, and texting functions it looks like. You can shop on the Echo Spot from 2017/18/19 versions in White & Black. They took the Echo Spot 1st gen and combined it with an Echo Dot. You’re missing the Echo Spot 1st generation. So it’s not a comparison video without the original.

@alial-zahrani7495 22 дня назад

Amazing video💯, but i have a question is it a touch screen or just for display?

@Isa-ym4xo 22 дня назад

Yes, you can touch the screen

@foetor 19 дней назад

Sound is for me ok, I don’t hear much difference to my Homepod Mini and Spot was about 1/3 the price. So for me Spot is good

@TheFrenchGlow 18 дней назад

Yes! compared to Apple Homepod and Google Nest, the SPOT is superior value IMHO.

@owenlerry6339 18 дней назад

I have two questions, can you use the spot without the app ? Can you connect Bluetooth headphones to the spot so you can just listen to music through the headphones & not the speaker ?

@TheFrenchGlow 18 дней назад

hi! You have to link the dot to an amazon account but you could get more of the functions from the SPOT using the onscreen menu. Regarding BT, let me check and report back.

@AberdeenshireBeasties 19 дней назад

bit weird doing the history of the dot/spot without actually including the original spot

@johnnytuinals9046 17 дней назад

Seems that people like me that enjoys having talk radio while going to sleep will be disappointed(This is a bed time clock}The radio will be on and the Radio app will take up MOST of the screen and only show(very hard to see}the clock.Yes you can go into settings but that's only good ONCE.And if you turn the radio back on the next night you will still have the problem not able to see the clock. I think Amazon should update the Spot and have the Radio app shut off in 30 seconds and just show the clock with the music on...........

@Darkmiss7078 18 дней назад

The biggest problem with the Echo spot is that once you play music or radio, you lose all of the (Day, Date, Temp) information and you cant see any of that any more until you stop playing music. so it's useless as a Radio alarm clock, if you want the screen to show you all the information you need.

@Palliatus 17 дней назад

That echoes the complaint starting at 7:51 right? I only found out after a while that it's not true, fortunately. You can just ask Alexa to display the home screen or use the house icon on the touch screen to return to the regular, big display.

@Darkmiss7078 16 дней назад

@@Palliatus That is partly true, because if you try that you will see that only the large clockface will return, but the rest of the information is replaced by a tiny graphical equalizer indicating that the music is still playing.
