Amazon Glow: Kids’ Video Calling Hardware Discontinued

Amazon is discontinuing its Glow device. It was a screen and projector combination that was aimed specifically at children. With Amazon Glow, children can make video calls and talk to their interlocutors at the same time, e.g. B. play games, draw together, or have books read to each other.

Glow was a rather experimental product for Amazon and apparently sold poorly. After the pandemic ended, the need for video conferencing solutions also decreased. Bloomberg reports that Amazon has confirmed the discontinuation of Glow and is now reassigning employees who were still supporting the product to new teams.

Glow was probably also slowed down by the fact that people on the other end of the line should ideally be using a tablet. The idea was also praised during testing, but the implementation was still very artisanal. As far as I know, Glow was not available in Germany and the distribution in the USA has also already been discontinued. Thus, those who were interested in the device should no longer hope for a release in Germany.
