Bro you literally did it for me because I was playing the video out loud she started pairing and I went to Bluetooth now everything is working smoothly ty
Thank you....I nearly bought a new speaker to pair with Alexa because I was trying to pair through the app instead of my phone's bluetooth......you saved me!
I figured this would be a piece of cake, then thought maybe it wasn't even possible. All I had to do was tell alexa to go in pair mode, no guide online says this, that's all I needed to know. Holy crap they need to make that more obvious.
Ok, so I just picked up a pair of the 4th Gen Echos. I got them connected to my account and then paired to each other. It plays Spotify and Pandora fine, but when I switch to RUclips or Netflix, or my internal videos, it goes just to one single echo instead of the pair. Additionally, If I run an aux cable to one of the Echos, thinking that they are paired and it should play on both, I would be dreaming, because it doesn't. I am not sure why it has to be this complicated. Either it plays everything or not. One other suggestion, not criticizing, but you may want to duck (drop the volume) when say "Alexa" and just put the word on the screen, that way you don't trigger everyone's units while. yours is muted. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
I want to get a speaker so it can be used by both my PC (3.5mm jack) and my phone (Bluetooth) and be able to switch between them easily. Can this be done with any of the echos?
how do you change your bluetooth name? the “ive now connected to ‘camerons iphone’” ive changed it on my iphone but when i connect to the alexa it still says an old name :/
Hi Cam, I have connected iPhone to Alexa and both the phone and Alexa say they are connected to each other however absolutely no sound is coming through from my phone to Alexa even with a song from Spotify running. I’ve factory reset the Alexa and forgot device on iPhone and reinstalled both of them but although I’m told they are now connected I still hear no sound when playing a tune. Am I doing something wrong or is the Alexa broken? P.s my phone will connect wirelessly to my other Alexa device no problem with sound coming out of Alexa, thanks in advance I hope you can help
Hi thanks for the video! If I do the pairing at home (where I have wifi), and then I take the Echo in my garage, where there’s no Wi-Fi and even no telephone signal (as it is underground)... Will I be able to stream music from my iPhone to the Echo there?
does this work with the echo flex? i mean know you can pair a bluetooth speaker to the flex but can you also use the echo flex as a bluetooth speaker? it's on sale right now for $10 and you get a free lifx smartbulb with it too so that is a really good deal especially if you can use it as a bluetooth receiver since it has a 3.5mm out jack
No there is not especially if you have iPhone forget it you won’t be able to do it. I don’t have Internet at my house so this video is basically useless because it requires your Alexa speaker to be connected to the Internet before you can even start this guy‘s methods. I tried using the hotspot on my phone but it doesn’t work because Alexa does not recognize a phones hotspot as a form of Wi-Fi.
how about I want to connect my echo to a non Bluetooth speaker through AUX and connect my phone to my echo through Bluetooth --> will my non bluetooth speaker play music when I do so on my phone.
I am sorry but this method doesn’t work unless your Amazon speaker is connected to Wi-Fi or Internet. I do not have Wi-Fi in my home and I tried to do it via mobile hotspot on my phone but it does not work because the mobile hotspot will not show up on the list of Wi-Fi devices so I am unable to connect my Alexa to my hotspot in order to try these methods and since I don’t have Internet at my home it’s just doesn’t work. This is so much more difficult than it needs to be I wish that they could just come up with a way to connect Alexa to Bluetooth without the need to have an Internet connection! So frustrated right now………
well i used my echo as a speaker once maybe a year ago, and when i try now, "an app is needed to use this device"... thats what it says on my phone when i attempt to pair with it via blutooth just to use it as a speaker. nothing can ever just work can it? -_- be great if anyone knows wtf is up with this. ive unpaired and paired again and no change.
I try to do this from my PC using bluetooth to connect to my Echo Studio and it pairs, but it disconnects 1 sec after it connects, and it doesn't say any reason why :// I tried remove the device from list and do it from 0 several times
I've got an Echo dot as present, but this method simple does not work. When I turn on bluetooth on my phone (Samsung S10) and also connect the Echo dot, I can see the Echo dot in the list and when I tap it it goes to the Paired devices list. However, it is still not active, my phone does not play music through the Echo dot. When I click the Echo dot on the list on my phone, it says I need an app to use it. So I've dowlnloaded the alexa app, registered an account, and tried to add the device. I absolutely don't understand why I need an app and a registered account just to play music through bluetooth, it looks like it is some kind of amazon "feature". The app on my phone wanted me to turn on location (again, why?). It does not allow me to continue without it. So I've enabled location for it. The app actually sees my Echo dot device (bluetooth is still on), but when I choose the device, the app gives me error that there is no wifi. Why the hell do I need wifi to listen to music through bluetooth? I don't undrestand. I've repeated it like 5 times, same result every time. My Echo dot either have this orange light saying it is in setup mode, or have some blue light saying it needs wifi connection. I've tried the above method in both modes, no result. When I go back to the bluetooth device list on my phone, it still says I need an app. And yes, I tried to tell the Echo dot like a dozens time to "Alexa, bluetooth on" and "Alexa, pair", and absolutely nothing happened. I'm completely lost. bluetooth speaker that costs 1/4 of an echo dot can be paired to my phone in like 5 seconds. I've spent more than a hour trying to figure out how to use the wonderful Echo dot to music listening, and no luck. And yes, I've read a lot of articles, but they all say the same thing that in this video, but that simple does not work Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I'm out of ideas.
It would be smart if tutorial creators didn't say ALEXA. Some do but not all. Because of this video we now have a whole new issue. An Amazon Music banner is now showing (Coldplay) that we cannot remove. Spent ages trying to figure out how without any success. We're asking how to fix this please? Thanks.
video starts at 1:07
Thanks!
Took 5 seconds been trying to figure this out for days. Thanks
😂
Had been struggling for so long, didn't know it was this simple!!

I like how you muted your Alexa 😂
Ayo this helped me thank u so much
Thank it actually helped me i was so dumb
Been trying for days lol! thanks man
Wow that was way more simple than I thought it was going to be.
Its really work thx bro all yall need to say is to alexa open the Bluetooth
Thanks. Can you pair it without using the Alexa app? My phone says it's paired but no sound comes out of the echo.
I shouldn’t need a tutorial to connect this “expensive” echo. But I’m glad you made this.
Ty.
Incredible this requires a video to help pair a device. But thank you anyway
Thank you so much for this tip! I got it to work with a Galaxy phone, but I had to restart it to get bluetooth to pair with the Alexa device

I want to get a speaker so it can be used by both my PC (3.5mm jack) and my phone (Bluetooth) and be able to switch between them easily. Can this be done with any of the echos?
You just activated my echo dot lol
Awesome Alexa.
how do you change your bluetooth name? the “ive now connected to ‘camerons iphone’” ive changed it on my iphone but when i connect to the alexa it still says an old name :/
My gosh!!! Great solution. Like others I was getting ready to throw it at the wall. They’ve turned us in SLOW AI people 😀
Thank you so much!!

His Alexa in the background EVILLLLLL
So how do I connect my 2 studios and alexa sub to play thru phone.
Thanks much helpful and simple narration..
can you use bluetooth in stereo pairing mode
THANK YOU
Thank you!!
What brand name your speaker sir?
Hi thanks for the video!
If I do the pairing at home (where I have wifi), and then I take the Echo in my garage, where there’s no Wi-Fi and even no telephone signal (as it is underground)... Will I be able to stream music from my iPhone to the Echo there?
Without wifi use as Bluetooth worked?
Thank you very much. It worked !🌸
Wow, I feel like an idiot! Thank you SO SO SO much!!
Connecting alexa speakers is like trying to scoop out cancer with a spoon
And that's an understatement
does this work with the echo flex?
i mean know you can pair a bluetooth speaker to the flex but can you also use the echo flex as a bluetooth speaker?
it's on sale right now for $10 and you get a free lifx smartbulb with it too so that is a really good deal
especially if you can use it as a bluetooth receiver since it has a 3.5mm out jack
thank you!! this helped!
lot of thanks
Is there a way to use it as a Bluetooth speaker when not connected to the internet?
No there is not especially if you have iPhone forget it you won’t be able to do it. I don’t have Internet at my house so this video is basically useless because it requires your Alexa speaker to be connected to the Internet before you can even start this guy‘s methods.

Thanks much ! 👍🏼
Thank you
which version of bluetooth does amazon echo 4th gen use?
starts at 1:05 thank me later
Thanks bro
Is it possible to connect maybe 10 or more echo studio speakers with a single cell phone?
How do I get a Bluetooth input to play on all alexa devices?
I think it's worth upgrading to the Echo studio because that Echo you have, I tried it, and it barely sounds any better than the Dot if at all...
how about I want to connect my echo to a non Bluetooth speaker through AUX and connect my phone to my echo through Bluetooth --> will my non bluetooth speaker play music when I do so on my phone.
This helped so much
Will I still be able to use it as amazon Alexa
I tried it and works you can still use it as alexa
Say I was camping with no internet,could I Bluetooth music that is stored on my phone without having an internet connection to Amazon???
Why did I not know this before?
Thank you!
I am sorry but this method doesn’t work unless your Amazon speaker is connected to Wi-Fi or Internet.

Very helpful.. thanks..
I am using a dindinmodern bluetooth speaker, which I think is very good at the price I bought.
well i used my echo as a speaker once maybe a year ago, and when i try now, "an app is needed to use this device"... thats what it says on my phone when i attempt to pair with it via blutooth just to use it as a speaker. nothing can ever just work can it? -_- be great if anyone knows wtf is up with this. ive unpaired and paired again and no change.
I've the same problem (Echo dot). It is insane. It looks like you cannot simple use amazon speakers as a simple bluetooth speaker.
I try to do this from my PC using bluetooth to connect to my Echo Studio and it pairs, but it disconnects 1 sec after it connects, and it doesn't say any reason why :// I tried remove the device from list and do it from 0 several times
Omg thanks

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? I'm out of ideas.
What if Alexa is red Bc its not connected to the wifi ?? I can’t connect in to my phone ;(
Thank you! Honestly Alexa isn't that advanced especially when your commanding it to play Sirius XM......I'll give it a few years lol
Alexa stop no Coldplay
It would be smart if tutorial creators didn't say ALEXA. Some do but not all. Because of this video we now have a whole new issue.

Mines conencted but wont play music through it?
When you said Alexa my Alexa went red because of the internet :/
im using echo dot, But my ohone dont show any device after i do this... 🙁
What is weird: Connecting a bluetooth speaker to Alexa is easy and would be awesome but the sound quality sucks. No bass.
"Alexa Pair"...Thats all I had to say lol
Goated
What if no internet
If the Alexa has a password do you need to put in a password?
Bro dis took literally 5 seconds 😂
Tried this and can't listen to my using when I want to play a song I'm using RUclips
