Amazon Echo Drop-in Question - Do you have multiple Echos and will you use Drop-in? 🙂👍

I recently bought a echo. Your videos have been extremely helpful, precise and not a snooze to watch. You do not have a ramble of information that other youtubers have when making video tutorials.. I commented on this one because this was the big question I had about my echo, and it was the most helpful to me. Thanks for all the tips and tricks about echo!!

[garyhunt-french]

Thank you so much for the videos, I now have Alexa everywhere in our home, thanks to you online demos.

Great job Craig! The way you use the camera on your mobile device makes it particularly easy to follow the set-up process.

Hey Craig. I wanted to say thanks. I didn’t expect much going into the channel. Regular guy in a chair talking about stuff. Haha.

But I am pleasantly surprised with how your videos have exactly the right mix of clarity of information. I just bought 2 Echo 2nd generations and your videos have given me all the information I need and more in the last 2 days.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.

I use my Amazon unlimited music to feed my Nutone wholehouse intercom system. This allows me to play music throughout my house but what I found was that if I were in a room other than the echo system that fed the intercom, I was unable to stop or pause the music without going to that room . I found a workaround but I wonder if there is a more direct way to do it?

Here's what I did – I told my local echo in the bedroom to "drop in" to the echo in the kitchen . then I told that echo to "stop" and believe it or not, it worked! I think I should also be able to initiate an audio stream from anywhere in the house using this drop in feature. I wonder however if there is a more direct way to do this?

Craig, I want to throw this out here only because I was in the acting / movie / TV biz some. In fact, our family owned a talent agency and I got a few gigs that were enough to get me Sag/AFTRA eligible. Your videos are great. The lighting you have set up is very good and I watch a lot of Youtube. Acting wise, you might look into it for voice over work & other personal appearances, etc. Could help promote your site & pick up some extra cash. And, the neat thing—you don’t have to do anything, and those checks keep on coming.

It’s a pleasure to tune in! Could you do a tutorial on how you set up your lighting and studio?

I'm new to using my Alexa system and trying to test drop-in. And, amazingly I have a lot of things work already.

I see all kinds of ways that voice activation will streamline everything I do with computers and I have a LOT of computers and use Word a lot to take down notes and check spelling. Can you use a tablet and Alexa to send notes to Word?

[florizonefilm]

Cool stuff! I noticed Alexa is not talking. How can I Alexa to connect to my Bluetooth but not say “now connected” every time? So annoying. Thanks!

[SsseraR]

Does drop in have to be in the same building ? Like same household ?

[ndrarora]

I am guessing, it would work if my two Alexa devices are in different physical locations, but need to test it.
