Use your Amazon Echo to find your phone

The next time you can’t find your phone under the couch cushions, Alexa can help. Ask your Echo to “find my phone.” Alexa calls your phone to make it ring.

The Alexa app must be installed and set up on your device for the feature to work. It doesn’t work when your phone is on silent or vibrate, but this is better than asking your friend or family member to call you so that you can search for your phone.

Control your TV using your Amazon Echo smart speaker

Ditch the remote control and let your Amazon Echo or Echo Show take control of your TV. Ask Alexa to play your favorite show on Prime Video on your living room TV, switch it on and off, and more.

1. Open the
   Alexa app
   on your phone.
2. Tap the
   More
   tab in the bottom navigation drawer.
3. Scroll down and select
   TV & Video
   .
4. Select your TV or streaming device from the list of supported service providers.
5. Link Alexa to the service provider. The linking process can vary depending on the supported service.
6. If you have multiple Alexa devices, link the TV to one of them.

When linked, ask Alexa on your Echo speaker or smart display to “turn on/off the TV,” “play The Boys on Prime Video,” “change the TV input to HDMI 2,” and more.

Use the Amazon Echo Show as a security camera

Your Echo Show doubles as a security camera. You can watch the live feed from its camera on your phone or an Echo Show connected to your Amazon account.

1. Open the
   Alexa app
   on your phone.
2. Tap
   Devices
   in the bottom navigation bar.
3. Slide on the list of device types and select
   Cameras

   Mic
   button to turn on the microphone.
6. Turn on the
   Speaker
   to speak to anyone in the room.

Combine your Amazon Echos for multiroom music playback

If you have multiple Echo speakers or smart displays in your home, combine them for multiroom music playback. This allows you to stream music over multiple speakers, so you can listen to music as you move about your home.

1. Open the
   Alexa app
   on your phone.
2. Tap
   Devices
   in the bottom navigation bar.
3. Tap the
   +
   icon in the upper-right corner.

   Combine speakers
   option.

   Multi-room
   music
   .
6. Select the speakers you’d like to add to the multiroom setup.

7. Give the group of speakers a name.
8. Tap
   Done
   to complete the process.

When everything is set up, say, “Alexa, play music on (group name)” to trigger multiroom music playback. You can also set up multiple groups with different sets of speakers.

Make Alexa talk faster or slower on your Amazon Echo

Do you have trouble keeping up with Alexa on your Echo because the assistant speaks too fast? Or maybe you want Alexa to speak faster because you find it too slow? Adjust Alexa’s voice playback by saying, “Alexa, speak slower” to slow down the voice assistant’s pace of speech. Similarly, ask Alexa to “speak faster.”

There are seven speed settings for Alexa. Every time you issue the command to speed up or slow down the speaking rate, it increases or decreases by one notch. You can say the command multiple times to speed up or slow down Alexa’s speech rate.

Create a Voice ID

Unlike smartphones, Amazon Echo-like smart displays and speakers are meant to be used by everyone in a family. If multiple people use Amazon Echo, create a unique Voice ID for each person. This allows Alexa to recognize them better and show personalized information. Every person can add products to their Amazon wishlist and make purchases from their account.

Follow the steps below to set up Voice ID:

1. Open the
   Alexa app
   on your phone.
2. Tap the
   More
   tab in the bottom navigation drawer.

3. Tap
   Settings
   .
4. Tap
   Your Profile & Family
   .
5. Tap your profile name. You must be logged in to your account to create the Voice ID.
6. Select
   Set up Voice ID
   from the settings page that opens.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your unique voice profile for Alexa.

After it’s set up, the profile automatically syncs to the other Echo devices linked to your Amazon account.

Change the Alexa wake word

You don’t always have to shout “Alexa” to wake up Amazon’s voice assistant on your Echo device. Amazon provides a few other wake word options. Changing the wake word for your Amazon Echo device is simple but requires you digging into the Settings menu.

1. Open the
   Alexa app
   on your phone.
2. Tap
   Devices
   from the navigation bar at the bottom.
3. Tap
   Echo & Alexa.
4. Select your Echo device.
5. Tap the
   Settings
   icon in the upper-right corner.

6. From the Device settings page, select
   Wake Word
   .
7. Select the wake word that you like. Amazon sometimes offers special wake words for Echo devices, like “Santa” for the holiday season. They appear at the bottom of the page under the Additional Wake Word section.

If your Echo device has trouble understanding you, try a few tips and tricks to help Alexa hear you better.

Let Alexa be your gateway to smart home features

Using your Echo or Echo Show device is more enjoyable after you use these tips. If you’re thinking of upgrading your Echo, consider the Echo Dot or the Echo with Clock, depending on your needs. There’s also the Amazon Echo Show or the Amazon Echo Hub, which offer different features from a standard Echo speaker.
