Hello all,
Someone gave me a gift of a new Echo. Some basic set up has been done today.
I've read some helpful info from emails Amazon keeps sending me and I've
been on the Amazon site which gives a list of things to look into. Some of
what I am told to do isn't fool proof, perhaps due to human error.
I cant seem to get at the place having to do with enabling
video such as Prime Video or Netflix. I've got both Apps on the phone and
naively thought I could use Alexa to activate those apps. It doesn't seem to
work that way! I followed instructions from a hard file as well as where
Alexa tole me to look, that were supposed to get me to TV and Movies under
Skills and Games, I think, but I never got there.
Under the section in settings for Communication, I did check off various
music services and podcasts and Tune In stations I listen to and Alexa was
able to find those. I can't however find the place to do that with video, TV
and/or movies I am subscribed to.
I really did imagine that I could tell Alexa to do things like open Bard and
continue reading what I was reading last. I assumed the Echo device was
totally privy to everything on my phone, as if it had a mirror image of it.
Hmmmm, I'm smiling. Still I did manage to do a "drop in" message to my
brother's own Echo and he was indeed notified he had a message and when he
asked Alexa to play it, there I was on a live recording which is what I
chose to use as the medium.
I look forward to learning to do as much as I can with the
Echo "hands off.
Any tips anyone can provide about which sources are most
reliable and easy to follow would be greatly appreciated. This will take a
systematic approach to getting things set up at more than the most basic
level.
