Ongoing issue with Ring doorbell and autoview on Echo Show 5

Have seen various mentions here but not a satisfactory answer. Basically I am trying to get Echo Show 5 to answer / view when the Ring doorbell is pressed.  If I ask Alexa to show the Front door, it shows up the Doorbell Camera view without any problems. Infact it also shows indoor cameras and allyway camera as well when asked. I have tried suggested Echo routine (when doorbell is pressed, "show front door and use Echo show 5). Have also tried without a routine by tring to get Ring bell video to answer using Echo Show. Neither of these work. I have "Do not disturb" turned off and in Ring bell settings, the Motion detection and dorbell press are turned on. Any suggestions please?

    You need to set this up in Alexa's Skills section in the Alexa app.  Although, I have noticed that it will intermittently not work.  No clue why that happens, but it's a Alexa issue, not a Ring issue.

      I have same issue, but echo show says "waiting for ring.com" so I thought this must be an issue with ring servers rather than amazon.
