You can play Jeopardy, Song Quiz, Escape the room and many other games. You can play IHeart radio, your favorite local radio stations, etc. Amazon Unlimited music also has comedians, recipes, jokes, soundtracks, Disney music, etc.. I love that I can create playlists and have her shuffle my music or tell her what songs I like and she plays similar songs. You can also tell her to play a genre of music.
Echo needs this skill: "Alexa, normalize audio." (maintains consistent volume between songs in a playlist, especially needed for older music) Also, would like to see more flexibility in user-created routines. For example, Saying, "Alexa, let's workout" could set volume to 3, set timer to 30 min and play Trance music. Keep up the good work Mr. Bezos.
@@linkinparkfan4119 Last time I tried to make Alexa routines, found it was limited to some predefined commands. I'll have to try again to see if they have added more capabilities.
Have you looked into IFTTT? I'm sure it should be able to do that for you. I used to use it before Alexa updated and had more routine features in the app versus discovering another apps routines.
I connected the audio output jack on my echo to an AM transmitter, tell alexa to play oldies or AM America's OTR Comedy Channel and then broadcast the shows to my antique tube radios.
@CowsRus that's a _huge_ generalization, and in fact I'm reading these comments to see if I'm the only one (I'm American) who found his showy enthusiasm and "humor" annoying. I just wanted information, not a song and dance.
you definitely own one more subs (myself) because of this video and specifically because of the announcement you and Echo have made on 3:14. NICE, dude!!!!
@@MikeWat I'm the one who needs to thanks you. That kind of video + enthusiasm + getting interested about your content were the main things I'd like from you and just subbed. Keep doing great, man...I'm just exciting to see your channel "leveling"!!
I really like your video because it is very fast and just hits the highlights but my personal taste is to just tone it down just a little bit...but love you content!
Been watching shows for useful stuff from amazon. Most are repeats of stuff we all already know. Your video was well paced and i learned a thing or two. Keep it up!!
Entertaining and informative video! Probably not an intended note but I caught the fact you can control you Harmony Hub which I didn’t even think about. Have only had my Echos for a week so still figuring out all the capabilities. Thank you! Alexa Turn TV on! 😀
CORRECTION at 5:30 , my daughter and I got an Amazon Echo 2nd gen (the full-size one with subwoofer) which also has the AUX OUT 3.5mm socket and I also believe the Amazon Echo Plus along with the Echo Dot 3rd gen also has the AUX OUT
I love how excited you are! I’m excited too! I just bought the echo dot but I’m disappointed it mist be plugged in, can’t go wireless. I’d think that the charger would be microsim, not its own charger☹️
Great. Thanks. Im from South Africa. Just starting to look at Alexa. My home wifi can take 6 devices. This is my internet link. If I buy Akexa and I start adding all sorts of devices will that be a problem and how do I solve it.
Haha when Alexa says good bye I think it’s cold too 😂 I’m like darn, she’s sassssy. Oh mannnn and where I was trying not to buy my second Alexa product. I love Alexa sooo much. Do I need an audible sub to use the reading function? That looks coool
Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way when she says good bye xD I think you would need an audible sub because it's linked to your amazon / alexa account! You should try it out, you get 3 months & 3 books for free in the trial! :)
You can tell your Alexa to go in guard mode and she will listen and see if she hears any glass breaking or any suspicious things. You should try it out!
Stumbled across this, turned off my spot to watch the vid, upvoted and subscribed, because I think I'll enjoy the content of the other stuff, too. Thanks for a great video here :)
+jan ian lim Hey Jan, I mentioned that you can use the drop in feature to see through your echo spot - but that’s about it - it won’t detect movements and notify you or anything
@Mike Wat have you done a video on the echo spot 2nd gen. I've heard it doesn't display recipes. Searched for with Alexa. Will this function be updated? Having g trouble getting information on this topic.
Mike Watt is a great bass player, I got confused when she said "this is Mike Watt" I thought she was talking about him.... You can also control your Xbox by telling it to tell Cortana to start a game.
Thankyou so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have new Bose headphones with Alexa also does it do the same things? I would think so -useful stuff & energetic clear presentation!
@@MikeWat what does that mean? What can that app do. Like can you sit at work on your job and get on the app and listen to whats going on at home in a room with voices?
I have looked everywhere for an answer to a question I have. Hopefully I can get some help here. I have echo's in my kids rooms. Each have playlists created on Apple music. When they ask Alexa to play their playlists it only play my playlists from Apple Music. How can Alexa recognize their playlists. The have given their playlists unique names but its not working. Please help. Thanks.
You are funny and informative without being annoying. A rare combination of these days. Keep up the good work Mike!
Thank you! 😊👍
Nah it's annoying

That would be a super cool feature!
You probably can do exactly this right now. You have to make your own "routines".

If you have Spotify there’s a setting to normalize audio
Can you get to the device to display day, date, time, temperature, and weather at the same time?
I've got an Alexa echo dot too. It's cool. These are very helpful thank u. 😊
I just love when people put positive comments,keep the positive energy people,we need more people like that know and days,have a blessed day
Thanks Yolanda! :)
Yolanda Tanner still it is a spy device,,thoe lol
YOU TOO!
Not sure how I navigated to your video, but thanks for cracking me up.
Thank you Mike. I appreciate your efforts and information. Respect to you.
I am sold with the guitar tuner idea! Saves me firing up my pedalboard for minor tweaks.
I connected the audio output jack on my echo to an AM transmitter, tell alexa to play oldies or AM America's OTR Comedy Channel and then broadcast the shows to my antique tube radios.
Not sure why I'm here, I don't ever intend to own Alexa, but love your enthusiasm!
Tadaaaaahhhh, wayyy cooler than a Google Display. 😁
Mike - you're a straight dork, but funny as shit! I'm definitely liking and subscribing to your channel. Thanks!
Haha! Thanks Drew!! :)
I didn't know about The Tune My Guitar function... Definitely gonna install that one! Thanks 🎸 ✌ 🎶
You are very funny. Enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it buddy! :)

Love your energy and enthusiasm, great video!

CowsRus and most Americans dislike grouchy negative people like yourself soooo...yea

Can I somehow set an alarm or timer for another echo? I am in the kitchen and want to set a timer that alarms me in my living room. Is that possible?
Never knew you could tune a guitar with Echo. Thanx!
Glad it helped James!
You can even tuna fish with Alexa using the Sushi Facts skill! Forgiveness please.
helbock LOLL i see what you did there ;)
Thanks. Helpful & really funny
Thanks Asha :)

+jan ian lim Hey Jan, I mentioned that you can use the drop in feature to see through your echo spot - but that’s about it - it won’t detect movements and notify you or anything

There's only one generation of echo spot right now - do you mean echo show?
Mike Watt is a great bass player, I got confused when she said "this is Mike Watt" I thought she was talking about him.... You can also control your Xbox by telling it to tell Cortana to start a game.
+Not The One Thanks for letting me know about that, it's a cool feature!
Thank you ! I appreciate your quick and right to the point. Echo say hello to my viewers " what" ? That was hilarious . Love the video.
Thanks Kat! Glad you liked it! 😀🔥
TIP: use the mute button to prevent it going off for when he says echo if echo is your wake word
Thankyou so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have new Bose headphones with Alexa also does it do the same things? I would think so -useful stuff & energetic clear presentation!
Pretty freaking useful tips
Thanks, I'm glad it helped buddy!!
Hey mike can you use your device to locate an Apple phone? Great video!
Liking this phone finder skill.
Guy: Alexa, order me toilet paper.
Alexa: Sorry, that shit is sold out!
Nice video Mike!
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it!!
An unbelievable job. . . Informative, good editing, energetic. Nice work.
Thank you very much Michael :)
Thanks for the video. How do I get Alexa to say good morning back to me?
great video, learned a few new things to do with my echo! I'd love to see more on the Smart home section you mentioned!
Thanks Taigan! I made a LIFX video for smart bulbs, but more coming in the future! :)
That was as funny as hell. Keep up the good work.

You look like that kid on RUclips who played the ukelele. He hasn't been on for 9 years.😊

This is the most useful and informative and practical video I've ever watched about Echo !!! Thank you !!!
You're welcome, I'm very glad it helped you!
What model do you have with camera
Took 10 seconds to like cos of that compliment at the start. 😊Thanks
Is there a way i can get a contact output from Alexa?
Great video!
Thank you Todd! :)
Subscribed because backgroud looks so cool 👍👍
+Mirak Limbu Thanks for your support !! :)
So what app was on your phone to drop in on the echo spot to see whats up in your room its in?
