Starting today in the US, Amazon is launching a series of calling features for Alexa. With a few easy steps, you’ll be able to say, “Alexa, call my family” or “Alexa, join my Zoom meeting”, says Amazon.
Under “Group Calling”, users can now add up to 7 friends or family members to join a hands-free video or audio call. Simply say, “Alexa, call my family,” for example, to connect from supported Echo devices, such as an Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Show. Only 1 customer needs to create & name a group in their Alexa app, & then any member of that group can start a group call by saying, “Alexa, call my [group name].”
With the newly launched Call Captioning feature, Alexa can display text of what the other party is saying in near real-time during one-on-one Alexa video & audio calls & Drop In calls, helping those customers who are hearing or visually challenged.
