Hi @oscar1372,

Announcements are currently supported as an audio-only experience on Alexa Smart Screen SDK. So the display card is not supported.

We have noted your interest for this functionality and are continuously working on improving the Smart Screen SDK, however we cannot comment on when a specific feature may be available.

Thanks a lot for reaching out and contributing to Alexa Smart Screen SDK.

@VaruPan Thanks your response. Yes, I am checking the test case of functional self-test checklist and found it needs to show display card on GUI device(TV).

Could I know whether certification will be impact when SDK only support audio-only experience?

You can reach out to the certification team to get more information on waivers for unavailable UX.
