I am contemplating buying an Amazon Echo Show to view our Wyze cams but I don’t see very good reviews about the Wyze cams showing up on the Amazon Echo Show. Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved?
Welcome to the community @jheck04 .
The short and direct answer to your question from my experience; The viewing of WYZE cameras on Echo Show devices is much better than it was in the past, It’s not perfect, but what is?
The long response
You can in fact view the Wyze cameras (all Wyze camera versions except in my experience the Video Doorbell) through the Echo show devices.
The load times are not the fastest (I see generally around 10 seconds from request to show), manufacturer (Wyze/Amazon) changes can affect this from time to time (as in there can be issues), and it’s not perfect… but overall it works and has gotten better over time.
If you are wanting to buy an echo show for this reason and this reason alone I would say you may not be very happy with the results, if you have other use cases for an echo show as an AI device that will show you your Wyze Cams amongst all of it’s other features. Go For it! I have 4 of them and a number of firesticks that I tether to dots to view my Wyze cameras,

That final “S” makes all the difference. You can go mad waiting 10+ seconds to switch between each camera, and there is no multicam display. You may be happier with a tablet running the Wyze app or running TinyCam.

Good point.
I have 2 Echo Show 8’s and 1 Echo show 5 that I use to view my Wyze cams all the time. For me the stream is pretty close to instantaneous/real-time (after it takes 5-10 seconds to authenticate and load). I use V2 cams, V3 cams, Pan V1 and Pan V2, and Outdoor Cam and they all work great. The Video Doorbell does not work [anymore].
I personally love it. But like they told you above, you can only view 1 at a time. If you want to be able to view a bunch at a time, then you’ll want to use something that supports the Wyze app or TinyCam (tablet, computer running an emulator, Smart TV, etc). But I use the Echo Show 8 in my home office all the time to view my cams and it works great. I personally love it and highly recommend it. I started with just 1 and it was so great I now have 3, plus I have 2 Google displays that I also stream cams to…Google displays used to have problems streaming, and that might be what you’re reading, but they fixed those long ago now.

Can I download “Tiny Cam Pro” into my Amazon Shows?
No, Amazon hasn’t allowed the Echo Show 8 to support All the Amazon store apps. I answered you in another thread about a workaround to this by running a separate TinyCam Pro server.
Hello, I know this is old thread, but I’m curious if you are still able to show your Outdoor cam on Echo show 5 successfully. I can view all of my plugged-in Wyze cameras on my Echo show just fine, but for whatever reason I cannot display the outdoor cam V2 on it.
Not sure if this is a known bug or not. Please advise.
I just tried (I haven’t tried my WCO’s on Alexa Displays in a very long time), and no, it didn’t load for me. It kept saying Waiting for Wyze and finally timed out and said “Hmm…the camera isn’t responding.”
Sounds like it might not be working with WCO’s at the moment. If so, I would agree that it is a bug. Let’s see if we can get anyone else to say one way or the other for their WCO’s on Alexa.
@R.Good I know you have WCO’s and Alexa. Care to try streaming to one?
I just tried WCO V1, WCO V2, and Wyze Battery Cam Pro on Show 5, Show 8, Show 15, and Fire Cube.
They would not stream, and I got a response “the camera isn’t responding”
This is nothing new for Alexa… they usually come back. I’ll keep watch.

I have been trying to view my Wyze v3 cams on my 1st gen Echo Show and my new Echo Show 8. No luck. BUT it does show my battery Wyze doorbell view. Go figure? Anyway I would like to see ALL my cams on the Echo Show. I am not using Cam Plus - does that make a difference?
In my experience, the Echo Shows are terrible for viewing the wyze cameras. I have several Echo Shows. I can get the cam views but they only last for a while and then go away.
A better way is to get a 10 inch Fire Tablet (Version 9 or higher) and download an app. called Tiny Cam Pro. That is what I did and it works great. It will display 4 Wyze cam V3 small displays at one time or one large view of any of the 4 small views on the full 10 inch display. Echo Shows are not any good for displaying Wyze cam V3. I wish there was an EASY way to download Tiny Cam Pro on the Shows, but I can’t find an EASY way to do this.

Thx for that info. I was just trying to use what I already had (and not spend more money😁) but I will look into this.
I understand. If you find a way to do it with Echo Shows, please post it here so I can try it. I am very disappointed with my 3 Echo Shows for displaying Wyze cams.

The Wyze camera displays have been RESTORED to the Echo Shows.
When I couldn’t get the displays to work earlier, I shut off and then turned on my Show. When I asked it to show a camera, a voice from the Show said that the Shows no longer display the Wyze camera display. And that was correct at that time. I called a friend with Shows and they said they had the same problem. That’s why I posted my original comments. I hope this fix lasts and I hope it fixes the problem with the Shows periodically dropping the camera displays.
Thank God we have the Wyze camera displays back on our Shows.
Original Post earlier today 3/12/24:
It appears that Amazon did not want to spend the money to fix the problem of Waze camera displays going off on the Shows so they just removed the camera display capability. It never did work right. Now it doesn’t work at all. I got a voice message today that said it would no longer display Wyze cameras.
So all you people like me who bought Amazon Echo Shows to display Wyze camera displays are out of luck.
Don’t buy Amazon Echo Shows if you want to display Wyze camera displays. They won’t display Wyze camera displays.
Anyone else notice this problem??? Please reply.
Note to Wyze:
Please figure out a way to display your cameras on the Amazon Echo Shows. I use TinyCam on my Fire tablets and that works wonderfully. But we can NOT download Apps onto the Echo Shows.
HELP, HELP, HELP !!!
Who did you get a voice message from? What exactly did it say? This is major freaking news if true - please don’t spare any details.
I agree the Wyze cams and Echo Show are not compatible BUT oddly enough my Wyze battery operated doorbell with chime DOES display on my old and new Echo Show. 
I display my Wyze cameras (all models) on my echo shows and firetvs all day every day for a long time now, and while it was not always perfect – it was reliable, and it kept me buying Wyze cameras and echo shows.
UPDATE: it is working again now. No need to panic
