For example, it will not only let you access a shared family planner but also act as a hub to control Amazon Echo accessories<\/a> such as Alexa-powered lights, security cameras and plugs.<\/p>\n And for anyone with a Ring doorbell, you will be able to see live camera views even if you are on another app, such as watching TV or looking at a recipe.<\/p>\n Amazon said during its event that it thinks of the Echo Show 15<\/a> as a \u201ckitchen TV\u201d, as it can easily be used to stream content via Prime Video and Netflix. And as always, it was keen to stress privacy has been considered. The Show 15 has a built-in shutter to cover the camera, and users can view and delete any of their voice recordings.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the full Amazon event via YouTube:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The Echo Show 15 will be available for \u00a3239.99 in the UK ($249.99 in the US) later this year.
