In Alexa app, go to Skills, search Ring, tap Disable then Enable again. Sign into Ring account. Say Alexa discover devices.
Check Account Match
Ring and Alexa must use same Amazon account. Verify in both app settings.
Update Echo Show
Swipe down on Echo Show, tap Settings, Device Options, Check for Updates. Install pending updates.
Verify Camera Online
In Ring app, check camera shows Online. Fix offline issues first. Then try Alexa show me camera name.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If voice commands stopped working after relinking the account, check that the skill or action is still enabled — relinking sometimes disables it silently.
Rename Ring devices to simpler names in Alexa app. Show me front door is easier than Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2.
This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.
