We hope you enjoy our video on the Complete Beginners Guide to using the Amazon Alexa Echo Dot! By the end of this video you should have everything you need to know to be an Alexa Voice Assistant & Echo Dot Expert!
*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*
Now, this video was useful, as I was given an Amazon echo dot for my birthday last year 2020, & I am still learning more about this device, however I found having the application for the echo dot on my phone, is easy to integrate as well as navigate with my echo dot, and it has playlists in my history, which I just simply click on my phone 📲 📲 and it plays on my echo dot, without having to use my voice, this is handy especially if one has a sore throat. Next thank you for this video.
I just want to correct a few things mentioned in this video. The device is not always recording. It is always listening for the Wake Word. Once it hears the Wake Word then it starts recording. Skills are not downloaded, they are only enabled. The device does not have any storage to download apps. Everything is done in the Cloud. Some of the things you did in the app can also be done by voice. Ex. changing the Wake Word. Just simply say Alexa change wake word to [insert Wake Word].
This brings up an interesting question...say you have old 1st/2nd gen echo dots...they don't support sidewalk. But if you add a new echo dot before June 8th 2021 it will show up under "account setting" and you can either disable or enable it...but after June 8th if you add a new echo dot you will not be able to opt-out of Sidewalk.
Hi! I have just been given the Echo Dot 5th Gen for Christmas! Can it work with just using the wi-fi on my IPhone 12 Pro Max?? I have been really struggling with the set up process! I really hope u can help me! Thank u so much! 👍
How do I fix the location on my Amazon Echo Dot to set it to my location cause everytime I ask it to give me my local weather or news to my City & State it gives me the wrong City & State I was asking for?
Okay so my Alexis been working for about a year and I just unplugged it accidentally and there's two holes in the back I just needed to know which hole to plug my Alexa into the left or the right
You tell people what to do, like get onto wifi, but you don’t tell them how to do it. Many will not know. There’s a lot of “so now that you’ve….” assuming they’ve successfully done it.
I wanted it to connect to my itunes library but I need to subscribe to apple’s music and when I stop the monthly payment it says I can’t access my library? Totally cancels why I bought this thing, plus doesn’t play youtube stuff unless you bluetooth it from another device, so why have two devices going when my phone or ipad alone is just fine without the Echo Dot. Very disappointed.
@@alinadima8015 Go to devices and choose your current device and then look at Wi-Fi networks then click change then choose your network and type the password it will connect
You can pair Alexa with you tube through bluetooth. I googled how you enable pairing and I did it quite easily. Now I can listen to RUclips through Alexa.
It does make sense to integrate RUclips to Alexa because Alexa responds when you tell it to stop playing RUclips music/ tracks and also it responds when you command it to play the next track on my RUclips playlist. The only thing it doesn't respond to is when you ask it to play a specific RUclips track by name. The sound quality is just as good as the integrated channels on Alexa such as Spotify. For the above reasons I disagree with you.
Have Alexa Show. Sometimes its crazy. Ask it to play BBC Radio 4. It gave me BBC Nepali service. Then tried again. This time BBC West Africa. Then 3rd time lucky. 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I don’t have Amazon Alexa Echo dot
It is not always recording. It is always listening for the Wake Word. Once it hears the Wake Word then it starts recording.
Thanks for the video, I was able to help a patient who was vision impaired set up the echo ! Thanks !

Decent.... my gramma said the sound sucks. For Christmas I'm giving her the 5😊
@sab3295 not a techno pro but bear with me,dies our command to alexa should be on our phone for alexa to recognize?

Thank you very much for this information, it is very helpful.
Thank you!! I can see this device will help my vision impaired FIL. He’s 86, lives alone. How else can this help him?
Thank you for helping me find the audio equalizer settings, along with the rest of the helpful information :)
great clear instructions which helped me understand my new device.
The Amazon echo devices powered by mediatek are pretty cool for a smart home
I thought the echo dot was connected to the main alexa in the house? I just want an independent alexa for my nephews room...thanks
How/where do I find voice history?
Can it pair to more than one device?
Very helpful thank you as I'm getting one for Christmas

great video, thanks! ☺
good video AppFind. I shattered that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the superior work.
Okay so my Alexis been working for about a year and I just unplugged it accidentally and there's two holes in the back I just needed to know which hole to plug my Alexa into the left or the right
Is this still a feasible choice in 2022 and how did mediatek's support end up being in the area of consistency?
Thank You
I cant find the amazon alexa app on the apple store😢

Can you link your alarms from your iPhone to the Amazon Alexa app?
For some reason it didn't let me play music on the echo dot just through the phone ?
Thank you. 👍
Mines blue can I change it
What do you soopes to do when It's on red
What if your Alexa says it’s not registered how do you register it
This guy sounds like Bruce McCulloch from Kids in the Hall.
i am a senior,once i get Alexa on line,why cant i quit the smart phone and go on a cell phone

Yeah but why does it say that my email has been already used? It hasn't I just got it today?

@@nhfraser11 youtube is not integrated, and using it as a bluetooth speaker makes no sense, you lose the ability to control the voice
