He didn't change his wake word to "computer" ew.com/news/2017/01/25/star-trek-amazon-echo-wake-word/ Plebians everywhere I go it's sad. Bonus points if you change it to computer and then speak into your mouse like it's a microphone for extra Star Trek nostalgia.
Stopped for a sec to comment because wow, first video I've seen that someone actually edited out the wake word. Very nicely done too. Not surprised to see other comments on that!
We use our device as an alarm clock and then you can also ask it to play any song you like to wake up to. I also use as a timer when cooking. I ask it the weather every day. I also ask it to spell something for me or trivia questions. It will also do math questions. You have to be careful because sometimes it will pick up on conversations when not prompted!
I love how you edited out the wake word, i just dont get why everybody cant just mute their alexa when watching these type of videos. thank you, youve helped a lot.
I got an echo dot for Christmas, previously i wasn't too fussed and didn't bother looking into them but great video, pretty convenient and useful features.
I was worried to watch a video about Alexa because I was sitting 2 feet from mine, but round of applause and big thank you for editing out the word ‘Alexa’. Very thoughtful aspect !
How can so many people dislike a video that was amazing enough to not use the Alexa alert word all throughout? I mean 90% of the other Alexa videos out there do not have this basic level of intelligence!
Number 10 should really say control any lights or plugs etc if you have the relevant pieces of kit. I use Hive and the level of control via my Echo devices is fantastic. What about Alexa commands such as Announce and Drop In?
#Jeremywallace. The drop in is nice when you know ur other friend has there's on or like myself I will leave my Alexa up stairs where I know my Fur Boys are & when I'm away I will. Call out with them through my phone. To. See how they are doing. Bc. 1 of my. Dogs. Talks back. Lol but haven't taught him to say ( ALEXA ) & MY AKITA He's trying to talk but again need to teach them to say Alexa. I actually. Taught both my Dogs to say. Certain words I can understand Like I said I have a male. Akita & A make Lab & pit mix. & he's super intelligent. Just saying. Can be used as a police dog that's how Good he is
Games: Bamboo Music and Bamboo Math are skills you want to enable. These are learning games for children, but also, adults when it gets to the higher levels. They are not competitive but a test of you own knowledge and meant to hone your appreciation of these knowledge sets. If you are an adult, you might want to start off its Bamboo Music by saying, “Alexa, enable Bamboo Music.” The Bamboo company is a non-profit started by a former Amazon executive who retired from the company after a long successful career, to provide inner-city youth skills in coding. They continue to develop skills for the Alexa platform and provide other programming platforms for kids in Seattle. It’s a noble ambition and you can support them just by enabling the Alexa skills.
Do you show in any of your video's on how to set them up, because im going to be new to getting one and Im clueless on what (She) all does, so any advice would be greatly appreciated? And once set up is she just programmed for the person that set it up only recognizes that particular voice only?
I have a echo show 8 and would like more devices around the house. What's the best alexa to buy to team up with mine. It'll only be for music so just a speaker is fine
My friends and I have played Escape room, it's kind of annoying cause there arent many options and Alexa keeps declining any moves we try to make. But it's good to get you to think outside of the box and challenge yourself
This is really weird.... In my Amazon Alexa setup at home.... I have had more than 100 "Routines" ---- which is Amazon's name for little programs that run based on events happening. For example, one routine might be triggered by a motion sensor. Then the routine causes all the lamps on that floor to turn on, etc, etc. Well..... Here's the weird thing..... I have deleted several such routines because I decided that I don't want them to do that any more..... Yet those routines are still doing what they were programmed to do. Even though they've been deleted! Apparently, they exist in Amazon's cloud.... and their software is so buggy that deleting a routine doesn't always delete that routine. 😣
The video shows you have a Harmony Touch remote. Can this work for your TV/Sky box with Alexa without a hub? Or do you need a hub to make them talk to each other? Thx
It depends on what search engine you prefer. Echo uses Bing and Google uses Google. As far as functionality goes, they are basically the same thing. You can voice order from Amazon with Echo and Walmart with Google. I have both and find that when I ask basic things like news, alarms, routines, or timers they work similar. For search results, I do prefer my Google as it has answers more often than Echo.
Put TWO identical Alexas next to each other and tell them you LOVE one of them and HATE the other one. Now, ask them to consult each other to answer why one is worthy of being loved and not the other, and ask if you made the right choice. (A legacy of of Harcourt Fenton Mudd )
There are a lot of inexpensive plug in devises on amazon that will allow you to turn on lights, etc using your Alexa. I have multiple ones throughout my house.
I need some help with Echo Dot 3rd Gen. I have try several headphones and ear buds. I can't find one that the 3.5 mm plug stay in place you have to hold it or jiglle to hear the sound . Am I doing soming wrong ? Do I have the wrong kind headphone? ThankU
New to Amazon here just set up my smart home. Might sound like a silly question but do you mute you saying "Alexa" to avoid other people's Alexa's getting picked up?
I need some help. I just feel like this CAN be DONE! I purchased an Echo Show, because I want my Mom to be able to participate in our Group Family Chat. I just have NOT been able to figure out how to make it happen. The family members simply reply using our phones, but Mom needs to be able to "speak" her chat messages or type on the Echo Show. Can you help me? We are currently using "Messages".There are 6 or 7 of us included in the message. Thanks in advance if you are able to help!
Hi there very good and clear instructions, I was wondering wether or not you can do a video on the Fire TV cube which I recently purchased, It works ok, but having minor issues with it not doing what it is supposed to do at times.
If he said ‘Alexa’ while talking to us, our devices would react to it. When a commercial came on TV, my device heard it. That’s why he wrote Alexa on the screen. Tada! 😂
If you have the original tv remote, it may work for the firestick. I have a Sony Bravia and I can choose the input that my firestick is on and use the tv remote. It doesn't give the same functionality as using the firestick remote but it does give you the basic scrolling and search options.

ofcourse. you just need to connect your echo device to your computer via bluetooth and you would be good to go. To enable the pairing mode just say "Alexa, pair".
Can a person program these alexa devices to record voices in the home invadeing others privacy without knowing? I was told i could program my alexa to record and then listen to the voices that were recorded when i come home. I dont like that.

Can we just all take a minute to respect the fact that he edited out the parts when he said Alexa?
Litteraly a hero.

Bonus points if you change it to computer and then speak into your mouse like it's a microphone for extra Star Trek nostalgia.
I ordered an echo dot 3 and it shipped like 20 minutes after I ordered it and it’s coming tomorrow!
Is it awesome? I just got a echo 2nd gen. I want a dot next
@ but then if people had changed it to computer it would have been annoying to them :) so he pleased everyone not just most peolle
I just got mine today and im crazy sayin alexa play this play that hahaha i just love it
Stopped for a sec to comment because wow, first video I've seen that someone actually edited out the wake word. Very nicely done too. Not surprised to see other comments on that!
you need to watch more videos...lol... most of the ones ive watched have the wake word cut out for both alexa and google.
But why; pray tell??
Yes
I don’t understand why tho
Daniel_ thegamer because it might activate your Alexa.
Trump: Alexa, how many miles did I ran today?
Alexa: Ok, sending missiles to Iran today
*Did I run, but this comment is still good lol
😂
@@domtoretto4433 nah I swear it’s “how many miles have I ran today”

Better than vid
I love how you edited out the wake word, i just dont get why everybody cant just mute their alexa when watching these type of videos. thank you, youve helped a lot.
There is a song quiz where it plays a song and you haft to guess the artist and song name
BiscuitGaming Do I just say song quiz to her?
Mitchell Maytorena say Alexa play song quiz
I moved to the other side of my house bc I thought he would say Alexa a thousand times but he didn't i could've stayed in that room lol THANK YOU
He could've changed the wake word to "Echo" though.
@@aseemsharan still would DC be activated
Can you change the voice to Morgan freeman?
Only in USA
Why...?
Claire Will how?
I got an echo dot for Christmas, previously i wasn't too fussed and didn't bother looking into them but great video, pretty convenient and useful features.
Re - Logitec Harmony. If you're actually watching tv is it not much easier just to use the tv's remote ?
My girls lost the remote to the tv😒
Not if you have 3 puppies that steal remotes and chew them up like I do 😔
I was worried to watch a video about Alexa because I was sitting 2 feet from mine, but round of applause and big thank you for editing out the word ‘Alexa’. Very thoughtful aspect !
thanks
For the tv thing does it work with all tvs? If so does it need to be a smart tv?
How can so many people dislike a video that was amazing enough to not use the Alexa alert word all throughout? I mean 90% of the other Alexa videos out there do not have this basic level of intelligence!
Like others, I really appreciate that you did not say “Alexa”out loud.
Can I ask you where you got that knife set.
Number 10 should really say control any lights or plugs etc if you have the relevant pieces of kit. I use Hive and the level of control via my Echo devices is fantastic. What about Alexa commands such as Announce and Drop In?
Fair point well, i'll include in an update video
But, to be fair, who didn’t want to know that Alexa could spout absolute bollocks on command? It’s essential stuff.
#Jeremywallace. The drop in is nice when you know ur other friend has there's on or like myself I will leave my Alexa up stairs where I know my Fur Boys are & when I'm away I will.

How do I get Alexa to speak with a Brit accent? Or Aussie, or Scottish????
Change the language in the Alexa App
Great video just got one...but I don't see your link to the games and quizzes plz
Purple 3mpress Ik I’m so sad about it too I was looking forward to that part
dude, your audio levels are ridiculously dynamic
All these features are for Echo Dot as well I assume?
Yes, all echo devices
Can you use it for assignments?
Can you use the Echo Dot/Alexa as an encyclopedia?
My blink Mimi camera is not recording the video. Can you help me this is? When I first set it up it worked, back now is not.
