Straight to the point without likening the sound of your own voice. Extremely professional and more so informative. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a channel like yours? I have to subscribe to your channel and set my notifications too. I am here because I want to get an Amazon doorbell. Thank you kindly for your time in making this video. Your time hasn't goner unnoticed.
So you have bought devices without asking to yourself : what I am doing to do with those things ? Or maybe those were gifts and you didn't ask : What is it, how does it work ?
Very useful, we have the echo 8 setup for our elderly parents on their 1st floor and the dot on their second floor. They can call us in an emergency! 👍👍👍 one problem was our number wasn’t showing up when they call someone, it was showing another long distance number!
The Show 15 is great. Have you watched my video talking about everything you can do with it? Here's a link to that video. th-cam.com/video/f1NyLsDch-o/w-d-xo.html
I watch your videos all the time and thank you for your instruction! One question, I have 5 fire tv sticks. In devices they are labeled 1,2,3,4,5. How do you identify which one is in which room? Many thanks!
Very good video. A long question I have: Can you connect a echo dot 4 or 5 in an adjoining room as a second speaker to my Fire TV that has a sound bar connected by a HDMI cable on ARC 1?
Good video, but.....how do you go about subscribing to 'Plus'? Not sure if Alexa app is very different compared to UK. I tried to set temperature settings to either 'cooler' or 'heater' - if temperature is high or low, my devices is suppose operate, but it doesn't do anything under routines. 😒
pretty cool vid. I have a question : is there a way to get audible content (audiobooks for kids) that was allowed in the amazon dashboard, and which plays on echo dot fine (child room) but to play somehow in the child phone without giving access to the entire library? or perhaps a device that can be taken in vacation or something
Hi Steve. . Do you know if you can create an inventory list on amazon Alexa echo and ask it for a specific item in that list. Eg. Shopping list - bread , milk , eggs Q? Alexa is eggs on my shopping list I have create the list, when asked the specific question. Alexa responds with last 5 items
Steve, what do you think about a short video on the three Amazon Smart bulb options? I need soft white dimmable but having all the colors would be great. Does the color changing bulb have the soft white with the capability of dimming?
Nicely laid out. Question for you or for others before I hit Reddit.... Currently using two on the patio setup under the Home Theatre option from a Firestick 4k. I am moving to an Nvidia Shirld Pro and I cannot figure how to maintain the Home Theatre setup or output to a Speaker group as these two speakers (I don't need the seperate channels). Can this be done still? I read you can still output audio to the Firestick which would then output to the "Home Theatre" setup, but I can't figute out how. Or, how to output bluetooth to a speaker group. Appreciate any help.
Thank you for this very helpful video. I just gave a question and I’ve seen people on you tube having the same problem: how do you turn off “It’s time for bed”- at 9:03. I didn’t set that it’s annoying and can’t turn it off. Thank you! 😅
Please check app menu. Go to „more“ , click „routines“… I can imagine there is one enabled. Maybe „Alexa, delete all routines“ or „Delete all reminders“ „ delete all alarms“ could help, too. But this will delete every command from the particular category that has been set before. Hope that helps
My mum has 5 echo devices, and I have added drop in for her contacts (she is blind and cannot see the telephone) is there a way to choose which of her echo devices contacts drop in on?
One other great benefit I just found out is that these work as nodes for eero WiFi mesh systems. I already had a few echos that support doing that so I just had to buy one router.
Try opening the App, Devices, Select the one where you would love to have this feature enabled. click the gear symbol, there must be some subsection labeled ´general´ ( sorry, if that is not the correct term, i am using a different language on mine), and there you will find gestures that you can enable or disable. hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing. I've got the 5th get. (2022), so not the plus with the _Guard_ feature. How can I speak to a friend in another country through their Alexa and mine? Sometimes we like to chat whilst we're busy doing stuff. Also, would you know how to make Alexa pronounce your name correctly? It says my name in a weird way
I am having problems with the communication making phone calls. I am setting up for an elderly couple that are going blind. It used to work now it only allows a few phone numbers. When I deleted a couple of double numbers it now tells me I can't until they reset data. Do you have any help for this. Alexa used to be a great resource for my elderly clients now it's just a paper weight.
My Alexa App does not have Guard option now I do have emergency assist. The problem with that is they don’t have a free version. It makes you buy the one for six dollars a month or $59 a year something like that.
Hello. My mom lives in an assisted living facility five miles away from me. Can we communicate with her via the dot? Can we use it as an alarm to get her awake every Sunday for church. Thanks for your help.
I have a question for you... I just got the new one for Christmas and she won't tell me my motivation speeches daily or tell me my positive mindset speechs... Also morning and night prayer 🙏.. please help... I've been trying for 2 days before Christmas when I got her. Thanks .
I’m not 100% sure but I think you can say: **Alexa, announce [your announcement message] to [group/device name]** For example, Alexa, announce it’s time to go to the kids room. I’ll try to test it soon but if you test it first please let us know your results.
@@SteveDOES maybe this feature has been removed for some reason or I’m just completely misremembering and this has never been the case. The latter seems more likely. Providing the phase is the same every time, you could set this up using a routine then you don’t have to announce to every Echo device. Hope that helps
Hi Steve I'm new to Alexa sometimes when I ask a question the replies are so wrong it's hard to believe. Here's an example - I'm planning a drive I ask Alexa "what's the weather on Bowes Moor UK tomorrow morning. So the answer comes back "The weather in Bowes park part of a US state sorry can't remember which one is cold and rainy temp can't remember "err I'm in the UK not the USA oh the answer had a date attached to it - some time in 2021 omg !!! Is there anyway to update the search engine or change it altogether like dare I say it Google sorry if I swore !!!. Any help would be great cheers Mike...
In the Alexa app, go to the Devices tab at the bottom and select your Echo Device. Click the gear icon in the top right corner and scroll down to 'Device Location'. This is were it should pull information based off of that location.
Pulling my HAIR OUT trying to get echo dot 5th gen to pair to my iPhone that HAS the Alexa app - NO DICE. Set music as default - not happening. Errrrr

Great vid. I loved how you kept muting "Alexa" but I kept thinking that my speakers were crapping out. Like, every. Single. TIME! LOL!!!
That would be some lucky speakers
Thank you for this tutorial. I was going to send all my devices back because i didn't know how to use them. greatly appreciated.
Happy to hear that it helped. :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MUTING “Alexa” OMG 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This item is in our bucket list we were waiting for any new year announcements .
I started to get that device but I got a deal on the echo show 15 and i brought it and I love it. 👍🏼👍🏼😊
The Show 15 is great. Have you watched my video talking about everything you can do with it? Here's a link to that video. th-cam.com/video/f1NyLsDch-o/w-d-xo.html

Unplug 4 see what device is plugged in with the device list then name it something else.
Me: Alexa, why is artificial intelligence so useless?
Alexa: Artificial intelligence poses dangerous privacy risks.
Very good video. A long question I have: Can you connect a echo dot 4 or 5 in an adjoining room as a second speaker to my Fire TV that has a sound bar connected by a HDMI cable on ARC 1?
Have a like just for the thoughtful muting of a word. Bravo!

Thx. can you play music from your mobile/laptop to Eco via Bluetooth? or do u have to have Streaming service (like Google speakers do need it)
Wowzer!! I am not tech savvy in the slightest.. meaning I barely know how to switch it on. I was lost after the first couple of minutes but THANK YOU.
Is it possible to use the Echo as a speaker for my cell phone? Can I pair it to my phone for enhanced volume, my telephone speaker is weak.
Great video, did not know about the home guard
Glad you liked it
I just bought this from Amazon trying to learn more about it thank you ☺️

You can request the name of the device you want to drop in on.
very valuable
Hi Steve Am I able to shut off light on Dot when sleeping?
1. Can it connect to PC?
2. Do you need to pay a monthly fee or dous it just work on its own?
One other great benefit I just found out is that these work as nodes for eero WiFi mesh systems. I already had a few echos that support doing that so I just had to buy one router.
That features makes me want to try eero out.
Does this work more or less the same as our old Alexa ?
Very informative 👍
what languages does it support?
Nice tutorial 👌 can't figure out why single tap gesture on my exho dot(4th gen) isn't working

Do you have a echo hub , I have one but how do I set it up
You already have the Echo Hub?? I'm jealous! When i look it just says, "coming soon"
nice and easy to understand...many thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
Can we add email to echo dot 5th gen (2022) model ?
does the amazon echo dot work with apple homekit?
can the Echos connect one another with different accounts ?
Obrigado, Avanco Social, pelos seguidores e curtidas de alta qualidade!
I hope it support synology diskstation so I can play my audio station and WOL enable
Guard does not exist in my Alexa app! No sign of anything like it. Lives in England
Amazon is replacing it with something called “emergency assist” - I think it will have the guard features.
i just want to have a conversation with this thing. will it talk back if i talk to it ?
hi Steve,!is this local ?
Obrigado, Avanco Social, pelos seguidores e curtidas incríveis!
Outdated instructions do not match what is shown on the Alexa app.
Mine has a red light on it, suddenly stopped working. 😢
@@aquiconfeyaits a mute alexa cant hear your if u press it
0:11 I do not have that I have the echo show 10 christmas I have the echo show 5 and the echo dot
How do you register it
İn a whisper Voice ask ..... .
Alexa are you skynet,?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do I make an announcement to only one echo dot and not all my echos? I would like to make announcements to the echos that are in my kids room
I’m not 100% sure but I think you can say:
**Alexa, announce [your announcement message] to [group/device name]**
For example, Alexa, announce it’s time to go to the kids room.
I’ll try to test it soon but if you test it first please let us know your results.
I've been trying to test this out and i can't get it to work. It's still announcing to all my devices.

Can you play a book on all your devices at the same time or is that only for music?
Can it force Amazon to allow unions ? That would have to happen before I buy anything from Amazon again.
And your lives will be monitored and recorded 24x7!!! Amazing people voluntarily do this to themselves!!!
Careful, tin foil hats are known to cause brain malformation.
can you have more than one phone operating Alexi
So no clock on it? 😢
They do sell a version that displays a clock.
"Alexa, tell me *ANY RECIPE* / search for a recipe" -> sorry this feature is not supported
does anyone has faced this issue ??
That's a request that only works on the Echo Show devices that have a screen.
@@SteveDOES oh thanks!
can someone listen in without you knowing it. an acquaintance set up my elderly parents eco dot.
Pulling my HAIR OUT trying to get echo dot 5th gen to pair to my iPhone that HAS the Alexa app - NO DICE. Set music as default - not happening. Errrrr
It’s funny how it gets quiet when it says Alexa🗿(edit I said this before he did)
Thank you for muting!
I see, cheating on us with some 'Emmie' person. Hmmmm... 🤔
your audio is distorting
It distorts when he say Alexa because his devices in his house would react to his voice. I think. Don’t quote me 😂😂
Thanks for a great video but you are speaking way too fast for me. I am trying to decide if I would use an echo device.
The most useful review among a ton of useless videos.
Ok yah this is too much for a 8 year old girl lol
WHEN SOMEONE DOESNT KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH ONE DOT, WHY ARE YOU SHOWING SET UP OF MULTIPLE ONES????????????????????????????????/
Echo don’t.
Your recording mic voice quality is hurting the ears
I really hate these small speakers there just a waste of money .
What speakers do you prefer?
@@SteveDOESI will be waiting for him to answer…😂
