Learn how to use Alexa on Fire TV Stick

Amazon Fire TV Stick is a media device that has become very popular in recent years due to its ability to turn any TV into a smart TV.

Simply connect the device to the TV’s HDMI input and configure it to access streaming apps like Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube and more. But far beyond that, newer versions of the Fire TV Stick feature voice commands with Amazon’s virtual assistant Alexa.

This offers various possibilities such as requesting streaming content from the voice assistant without having to search using the remote control. It also facilitates searches that need to be typed letter by letter on the television screen.

Which Fire TV Stick models have Alexa?

All currently sold models are equipped with a voice assistant. The main differences are:

• Fire TV Stick Lite: Does not directly control your TV (like volume buttons) and has more basic sound quality.
• Fire TV Stick: Includes TV commands and Dolby Atmos sound quality.
• Fire TV Stick 4K: Includes TV commands, Dolby Atmos, and 4K picture quality.

However, you may find that the Stick TV Lite controller has fewer buttons than other versions, as it lacks TV commands.

However, the key to accessing Alexa is the button there, in a blue circle button, just above the navigation buttons.

How to use Alexa on Fire Stick TV

Activating the voice assistant is pretty simple: just press the button on the top of the remote, search for the device and issue the command.

Check out some of the things you can do with the voice assistant on the Fire TV Stick:

• Watch movies and TV shows: Say “Alexa, watch” Rings of Power” — or any other TV show and movie you want – to start playing that title.
• Open apps: Say “Alexa, open Netflix” or “Open YouTube”.
• Control the TV: On models with a TV remote, you can say “Alexa, turn the volume down” or “Switch to Globo”.
• Control playback: You can give commands like “Alexa, pause” or “Rewind for 30 seconds”, among other commands.
• Find content by speaking the search term without typing it.

Other functions with Alexa

Remote control voice commands, assistant reminders, alarms, questions, etc. it is interesting to remember that it accesses all its functions. Just press the button to talk to Alexa, just like you do with any other Amazon device.

You can also use the app to connect your Fire TV Stick to other devices like smart bulbs and switches, or to create custom automations (for example, if you want to turn on the TV or stream a series with custom commands).

In short, access to voice commands and Alexa automations makes the Amazon device even more convenient and simple to use.
