That's it — so easy! As long as you've connected your calendar to your Amazon account and Alexa app and have a Zoom meeting scheduled, you just ask Alexa to "join my Zoom meeting." She'll confirm the meeting title in question and connect you without you having to recite or manually enter a meeting ID or passcode.

Echo Show users have long been able to make video calls with Alexa to other Echo Show owners or those with the Alexa app, and Skype has been an option for some time as well. In addition to Zoom coming to the platform, owners can also use Amazon's Chime video enterprise video conferencing service.
