Evidently I had failed to pair the Alexa Show 8 correctly to his Zoom account in the past. I first made sure that I logged into HIS Zoom account on my PC, not my account or the KH account, and then I went to and typed in the pairing code. When I logged back in to Zoom on his unit, it asked me to pair the device to his Zoom account by going to. So, at my wits end, I went into the Zoom settings on his Alexa Show 8 and logged out. I logged into his Zoom account, and verified that his Zoom account was linked to his Google Calendar also. Everything I checked looked good, his Alexa Show 8 was linked to his calendar, and the events even showed up when you asked Alexa to show you your calendar, but the events never came up in Zoom. ![]() Just a little follow-up to my instructions above, I was still having issues with getting the Alexa Show 8 working for one 100 year old brother, so I ended up having to bring the unit home to fight with it.

I have linked the Google calendar to the Zoom account, both in the Zoom advanced settings at, and on the Alexa 8 units settings screen.Ĥ. You can dial your own phone device to access any meeting from your phone device. I could only get this working again for my in-laws when I had a complete link WITH the encrypted passcode.ģ. Paste the entire Zoom link, with the encrypted passcode in the link as well as the separate meeting ID and passcode (as I don't really know which one it is using). Create a Google/Gmail account in the same name the Zoom account is under.Ģ. However, I have had fairly good success by:ġ.
