The new Echo Show follows you around. This seems like a good evolution of a device that’s used for video conferencing. In fact, it could be a huge boon and a worthwhile standalone device when Amazon starts to support Zoom through the Echo Show.
A dedicated, standalone video conferencing device is something many of us could use nowadays. Some wish list items:

- Lighting to improve how people look in the camera
