I have my Echo Show on my desk in front of me, and it\u2019s distracting when the display keeps changing every few seconds. Thankfully, it\u2019s easy to make the Echo Show stay on the clock or display the time always instead of switching between different home screen content. Here\u2019s how to achieve the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Turn off the Home Screen Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to do is turn off all the content that appears on the Echo Show\u2019s home screen. And also, change the clock to a static wallpaper. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Go to Settings > Home & Clock > Home Content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Turn off the toggle for all the options including the Rotate Continuously<\/strong> at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Next, use a static wallpaper or one that doesn\u2019t change. Go\u00a0to Settings<\/strong> > Home & Clock<\/strong> > Clock & Photo Display<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Now, choose any wallpaper other than the Personal Photos or Art, Nature, and Travel Category. I use a wallpaper from the Modern category, and it stays on the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 2: Enable Night Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the first method doesn\u2019t work, put your Echo Show in Night Mode at all times. Alternatively, use this method in combination with the first method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Settings > Home & Clock > Night Mode<\/strong>. Enable the toggle for Night Mode Behaviour<\/strong>. Then, select Scheduled<\/strong> > tap on Change<\/strong> in the Scheduled option > set it from 12AM to 11:55PM<\/strong>. That way, Night Mode will stay enabled 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
