Amazon explained this change, saying:
For example, if you're watching a show and a visitor presses your Ring doorbell, you will receive a picture video feed in the top right corner of the screen. You can then say, "Alexa, talk to [Ring device name]" to speak with the visitor, or pull-up the camera feed by saying "Alexa, show me [Ring device name]" to expand the video to full screen. Picture-in-picture is currently compatible with Ring doorbell cameras and non-doorbell security cameras from Ring, Nest, Wyze, and Logitech, among others.
