The Amazon Echo line of smart speakers usually relies on Alexa to give you feedback, but the light ring on top of the device also has a lot to say about what’s going on with the Echo. If you see your Alexa flashing green or the smart speaker has a blinking green light, it’s part of the Amazon Echo’s notification system.
Don’t worry, the notification is rarely about something wrong with your Echo. The different colors on top of your Amazon Echo notify you of things such as unread messages or incoming calls. These notifications allow you to know the status of your Echo with a simple glance. See a spinning white ring? Alexa Guard is in Away Mode.
Say, ‘Alexa, I’m back’ and she’ll stop guarding your home. The white ring should disappear.
What does the green light mean? – Whether you’re using an Echo speaker with an LED light ring located on either the top or bottom of the device or an Echo Show smart display with a light bar at the bottom of the touchscreen, a green light on your Echo hardware means that you have an incoming call.

What does the green light on my Amazon Echo mean?
Anyhow, the green light means that you’re currently receiving a call or a drop-in on your Amazon Echo device. To turn off the green light, simply accept the call, or hang up. On the other hand, drop-ins can’t be handled that easily. They work a little different than calls. If someone drops in on your Amazon Echo, you have no say in it.

What does a Pulsing Green Ring Mean? – If users see a pulsing green light on their Echo, it means they are getting a call. It might also indicate someone is dropping in. Make this light disappear by simply saying, “Answer”. By saying this, they will be connected with the caller.
However, users don’t have to blindly answer every call they get. Echo devices with a screen will display the name of the caller. If they were expecting a call from that person, they can pick it up. Moreover, they might get calls from an unknown number. In this case, the Echo screen will display the number to allow the user to make an informed decision about whether to answer or to reject the call.
If you don’t want to answer the call, say “Drop”, and it will be declined. You can also ignore it by saying nothing. Your Echo will stop spinning right after the call ends. Both ways work fine and will turn off the pulsing green light on your Echo. However, if you aren’t home and someone calls, the green light will also start pulsing if your Echo is turned on.
