To help families and friends stay connected this holiday season and beyond, Amazon has today announced a new Group Calling feature, which allows up to seven friends or family members to join an Alexa Group call.

Alexa Group Calling

Starting today, customers can use Alexa to join their family for a remote holiday celebration and make it easier for everyone to get involved in the conversation.

The new Alexa Group Calling feature lets friends and family members join a hands-free video or audio call from their Echo devices

Once a customer creates and names a group in their Alexa app, any member of that group can simply say, “Alexa, call my [group name]” to get a group call started.
