If you don’t want the camera to autoframe, you can say “Alexa follow off” to disable it. But the Echo Show is a $130 smart display, not an $800 tablet, so it’s hard to complain, so long as you stay relatively still during video calls. The autoframing isn’t as good as the new iPad Pro’s Center Stage feature, and it moves much slower and tends to constantly reframe itself, like you’re the star of a Ken Burns documentary. The Echo Show 8 doesn’t have the motorized base on the bigger Echo Show 10, but it still can automatically frame you and follow you around as you move thanks to its high resolution. In my testing with Zoom calls, the image is much sharper and more pleasant to look at, with better color and much more detail. You can use the Echo Show for video calls to the Alexa app on phones or other Echo Show devices, or you can join Skype, Zoom, or Amazon’s Chime calls from it. The improvements in video calls are immediately noticeable. You can still block the camera’s view with a physical shutter.
