Echo Show also ushers in a new, somewhat creepy feature called "Drop In," which lets you "whitelist" your closest friends and family so they can initiate a video call with you whenever they'd like.
According to USA Today, you'll have 10 seconds to reject the video call or opt for audio-only mode before it goes through. Fortunately, there's a "do not disturb" option, for those times you can't be bothered with unannounced virtual visitors.

It integrates with connected cameras from Ring and Arlo, so you can view their feeds on your Echo Show screen.
