Echo Show to Echo Show communication ??

[BryanP]

I have 4 Echo Shows and Two Dots.  I can't get the Shows to work as Shows.  Trial and error mode is kinda frustrating

It seems Alexa default is a non-screen communication

How do you set up Alexa so she knows which devices are Echo Shows video screen and turns on camera ??

to help me understand this a little better.. here's an analogy.
Does the whole Alexa app work as a VPN.. and each device using an alexa app need to be set up as a node ??

Thanks in advance for your assistance

"Drop in" doesn't work?

It works fine for me, between show & dot.
