    Question

    How do I increase the brightness of the clock and display on my Echo Show 5?

    Answer

    To make the time numbers and display brighter on your Amazon Echo Show 5, you can adjust the brightness settings using these steps:

    • Manual Adjustment: Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings menu and use the brightness slider to increase the light level.
    • Settings Menu: Swipe down from the top of the screen, select Settings (the gear icon), then tap Display. From here, you can adjust the brightness level manually.
    • Adaptive Brightness: In the Display settings, you can toggle "Adaptive Brightness" off if you want the screen to stay at a consistent high brightness regardless of the room's lighting.
    • Night Mode: If the clock is dimming too much at night, go to Settings > Home & Clock > Night Mode and adjust the behavior or schedule to prevent the screen from dimming automatically.

    You can also simply say, "Alexa, increase brightness" or "Alexa, set brightness to 10."
