My Echo  show calls the wrong device. The whole purpose of purchasing an Echo Show is to allow User B to Videocon with Users A or C.

User A (me)  has a Echo Dot and gave Echo Show to his mom ( user B) so that she can videoconn with us. The Echo Show is still registered to User A, but is located in another location ( mom's house). User B has NO tech skills. In my Alexa account I see both the DOT and the Show.

User A installs Android version of Alexa App for videoconferencing.

User C installs iphone version of Alexa app for videoconferencing.  User C also has an Echo Dot.

User A can Drop in on the Show just fine.

When the Show tries to call User A phone for Videocon , User A's Dot gets called instead of the phone.

When the Show tries to call User C iphone for Videocon, the Show calls the DOT of User C.

All users live apart.  User A can still log in and change the settings on the Echo Show.

Please advise what changes or steps User B needs to take to connect to the phones instead of the DOTs.

Thanks in advance.
