Amazon in September announced it was bringing video calling support to its Fire TV platform. Today, the company says two-way video calling is now available with its Fire TV Cube devices (2nd gen.) The new feature will allow customers to pair a third-party webcam with their Fire TV Cube in order to make and receive video calls from their TVs to any other Alexa device with a screen.

That means customers could call other Alexa owners who have a Fire TV Cube of their own, an Echo device with a screen like the Echo Show, or even just the Alexa app installed on a smartphone or tablet.
