Five months after the Google Nest Hub and Nest hub Max got support for Netflix, Amazon’s line of smart displays, the Echo Show, follows suit.
The announcement was made earlier today by Amazon and it comes right in time for owners of an Echo Show who will appreciate having an extra display to stream their favorite movies and TV shows on. Below is the official statement from the tech giant:
Today, we’re excited to bring Netflix to Echo Show devices, giving customers more video options to choose from. Whether it’s tuning in for watching how-to videos or streaming your favorite movies or TV shows, our goal is to give customers the most convenient experience and widest range of video content options to select from. – Amazon
The Amazon Echo Show lineup includes the Echo Show 5, the Echo Show 8, and the Echo Show 10. From their names, you should be able to tell what their individual screen sizes are.

Alongside support for Netflix, the Echo Show devices also get a new video homepage that makes it easier for users to find the next exciting series to binge or movie to watch. To access this page, all you have to say is “Alexa, open video home”. The smart displays also got support for group video/voice calls a few days ago.
All these new features should begin to roll out to users starting today in countries where the Amazon Echo lineup is officially sold.
