Amazon Fire TV Gets Enhanced Voice Control for Prime Video, Netflix, and More
Control Your TV with Amazon Echo Devices
Echo speakers and Fire TV Stick now offer expanded voice commands
Amazon's Fire TV streaming platform has received a significant update that enhances its voice control capabilities. Users with Amazon Echo devices can now use voice commands to control Prime Video, Netflix, and other popular streaming services on their Fire TV devices, including the Fire TV Stick. This new functionality provides users with a more convenient and hands-free way to navigate and manage their TV viewing experience.
Previously, voice control on Fire TV was limited to basic functions such as playback, volume adjustment, and content search. With the latest update, users can now use voice commands to launch specific apps, search for movies and TV shows, and even control playback on compatible streaming services. For example, users can say "Alexa, play The Crown on Netflix" or "Alexa, pause The Mandalorian on Disney+".
This enhanced voice control functionality is available on all Amazon Fire TV devices, including the Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV Edition smart TVs. Users simply need to ensure that their Echo devices and Fire TV devices are connected to the same Amazon account and Wi-Fi network. To enable voice control, users can follow the on-screen instructions or consult Amazon's support documentation.
