Best part was you walked us through each thing. Not just said turn this off. For us new users it was very very helpful. Thank you
-
Very helpful for a tech newbie like me. I was able to follow each step without a problem. Now to figure out how to get Alexa to stop blurting out random things! Thanks for these helpful tips!

A family member died in April. It is so comforting to be able to go back and hear his voice. So glad this feature was on. Looking into saving these on anther device. Drop in is fantastic for my mom with dementia. All us adult kids can drop in on her throughout the day and see that she is okay. She doesn't need to remember how it works, which is awesome. She just hears our voice and excitedly comes running over to see who came in to visit! Love it!

New subscriber here. You speak very clearly, your demonstrations are good as well , and not too fast, Thanks.
-
Thanks so much for the ideas. The echos are very helpful for someone like me with major memory loss due to a brain tumor. I can have it remind me to do everything. Instant subscriber !
-
Thank you. Would have never known about the "sidewalk" feature.
-
The Drop In feature is one of the top reasons I bought the Echo Show. We want an intercom-like feature in our house so we could call each other for help in cases when either of us are unable to move about.
-
Thank you for this information. You’re presentation is perfect, a short explanation, then instructions. 😀
-
Excellent and very concise. So many people on these instruction videos get so wordy! Your “cut to the chase” format was so enjoyable!!
-
All I needed to do was update my Alexa app on my phone and it installed Sidewalk! So I turned it off. Thanks so much for this very informative video. I appreciate people who share this kind of information with every body else who wouldn't have known about the risky vulnerabilities Amazon subjects us to. I really love my Echo and Alexa and so does the rest of my family, but privacy IS a big thing too.
-
Great video, clear and easy to follow. Thanks for highlighting some of the "Orwellish" stuff!
-
I learned a lot today. Thank you very much. I enjoy your delivery. Straight to the point with step by step instructions. I watched a different guy today that took 6 minutes of blather before any of the tutorial part even started, which btw, included having to wait for his kid to finish eating a sandwich. Yours was great. I subscribed.

Thank you for sharing the Amazon Sidewalk feature. My wifi has gotten more laggish lately and I couldn't figure out the reason why

You deliver very concise and easy to follow instructions. Yours have been the most helpful to me thus far. Thank you so much.
-
Thank you so much for this video! My daughter gave me an Echo for Christmas and I've not had the chance to go through everything yet.
-
Thanks Steve for the information. Good to know someone is on our side.
-
I really appreciate you sharing this very important information. I just started using Amazon devices and was unaware of any of those security and privacy settings.
-
Very good instruction. Just got echo 2 weeks ago and This was very informative. That repeating things, like OK was getting to me.
-
Excellent , descriptive ,good use of the display screen on the left made it easy to pause as i went through it , good job :)
