But if you have an Echo, you were out of luck.
A new skill from Roku changes that by bringing Alexa voice control to your devices.
Roku is the best streaming devicefor the person who wants to watch everything.
It has an easy to use interface and even offers4K support at pretty low prices.
Anyone in the Alexa camp was left out.
Now Roku is addressing that with a new Alexa skill.
Similar to Google Assistant, voice commands need to use Roku for the name, i.e.
tell Roku to open Hulu or open Hulu on Roku.
And unfortunately, you’re able to’t control Netflix with voice commands.
How To Set Up The Roku Alexa Skill
Getting started is just installing any other Alexa skill.
initiate the Alexa app, and tap on the hamburger menu in the top left corner.
Tap “Skills & Games.”
Tap the magnifying glass in the upper right corner and do a search for Roku.
Choose the Roku option from the results.
Tap “Enable to Use.”
Tap the “Accept and Continue” button.
You should get a message that Roku is linked.
Just tap the X to get back to the Alexa app.
Just remember that the voice commands require you to say “Roku” as part of the command.
