Hey there! Let me tell you about the awesome features of the Echo Show. It’s a device that can fit into any home or office with its versatile design and shape.
But you know what’s even better? It can still be useful even when you’re not actively using it. With its convenient size, shape, and high-definition display, it can work as an interactive picture frame when it’s idle.
And here’s where it gets interesting. You can connect the Echo Show to certain plug-ins and make it display a rotating slideshow of your favorite photo albums.
Create a Photo Slideshow with Prime Photos
Prime Photos is a cloud storage service for photos and videos that you capture with your Fire device. The good news is that all recent versions of the Echo Show come with a Prime Photos plug-in!
You can also use Prime Photos with other operating systems like iOS or Android, but you’ll need to manually install the app from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
If you want to make a photo slideshow with Prime Photos, just follow these steps:
- Launch the Prime Photos app on your smart device.
- Tap the ‘more’ icon at the top-right of the screen.
- Choose ‘Create album’ from the drop-down menu.

Now, when you go back to the home screen, you’ll see your photos rotating in the background. How cool is that?
Create a Photo Slideshow with Facebook
