        "content": "Congrats on your new Echo Show 5! To answer your question: yes, you *usually* need to take at least one step to ensure your new device works with your Ring Doorbell via Alexa. It\u2019s not fully automatic; it depends on how things are currently linked. Here\u2019s how things work and what you\u2019ll need to do to get it set up properly:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcf1 How Echo & Ring Integration Works\n\n- Ring has an Alexa skill. Once this skill is enabled in the Alexa app and your Ring account is linked to Alexa, your Alexa-enabled devices (Echo, Echo Show, etc.) can show the Ring Doorbell\u2019s video, send announcements, allow two-way talk, etc. ([androidcentral.com](https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-amazon-echo-show-ring-doorbell?utm_source=openai))  \n- Your Ring devices are \u201cdiscovered\u201d by Alexa. That means Alexa\u2019s cloud service learns what Ring devices are linked by fetching them through the linked account. ([developer.amazon.com](https://www.developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smarthome/discovery.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd04 What Happens When You Replace Your Echo Show\n\nSince Echo Show devices are tied to your Amazon/Alexa account (and usually are discovered via Alexa account), here\u2019s what tends to carry over and what might not:\n\n**What *likely* stays:**\n\n- Your Ring skill being enabled in the Alexa app \u2013 because that is tied to your Alexa account, not a specific Echo device.  \n- Your Ring devices being listed in the Alexa app since they are part of your account.  \n\n**What *may* need your attention:**\n\n- Ensuring the new Echo Show is set up, fully registered in Alexa, and connected to the same Amazon account.  \n- Making sure that Alexa discovers it properly as an Echo Show with the ability to show video. Especially if your previous Echo Show was \u201cnamed\u201d something specific or had display settings configured (for example, which Echo Show device is \u201cfront door\u201d), you may need to give the new Echo an appropriate name and enable Live View / video display permissions.  \n- Ensuring permissions and settings like \u201cAnnouncements\u201d when the doorbell rings, or automatically showing the video feed, are enabled for the new Echo Show. Sometimes Echo Shows only show video when you ask for it unless you\u2019ve explicitly enabled auto-show features. ([androidcentral.com](https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-amazon-echo-show-ring-doorbell?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What You Should Do\n\nTo make sure your Ring Doorbell works with your new Echo Show just like your old one, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Set up your new Echo Show**  \n   Use the Alexa app to add the device, log in with your Amazon account, connect it to WiFi, etc.\n\n2. **Check the Ring skill in Alexa**  \n   In the Alexa app, go to *More* \u2192 *Skills & Games*, search for *Ring*, make sure it's enabled and linked to your Ring account. If there's no \u201cenable\u201d or it shows disabled, you may need to enable and log in. ([androidcentral.com](https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-amazon-echo-show-ring-doorbell?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Discover devices in Alexa**  \n   In the Alexa app, go to *Devices* \u2192 *+* \u2192 *Add Device*, or say \u201cAlexa, discover my devices.\u201d This helps Alexa find any device (your Ring Doorbell) associated with the Ring skill. Usually ring devices show up automatically after the skill is linked. ([androidcentral.com](https://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-amazon-echo-show-ring-doorbell?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Check settings on your new Echo Show**  \n   - Ensure the screen/display can show Ring video commands.  \n   - Check what happens when the doorbell is pressed: does the new Echo Show flash video automatically, or just announce? If not automatic, you may want to adjust settings in Alexa app or within the Ring skill settings.  \n   - Make sure the device name in Alexa matches what you use in voice commands (\u201cFront Door\u201d, etc.).\n\n5. **Test it**  \n   Press the doorbell or say \u201cAlexa, show my front door\u201d and see if your Echo Show displays the live video correctly.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through it step by step for your specific model, including how to enable auto-show or two-way communication. Would you like me to do that?"
