12) Go to ' Connect ' at the bottom of the screen. Tap your ' myQ ' connection. 13) Tap ' Sync ' at the top right corner of the screen. 14) Go back to ' Connect ', at the top go to ' Companions ' and then tap on the ' Alexa Home Skill '. 15) You should show a sync count matching the number of routines you created. When I ask Alexa to play Spotify on my 2nd Dot, it says 'Playing from Spotify', but then there is complete silence. I also no longer see the 2nd Echo Dot as an option in Spotify Connect through the app (either iOS or desktop), though the first Dot is still there (as well as the multi-room group). Before you start listening to music from third-party services, you'll need to connect your accounts. To get everything set up, open up the Alexa app on your phone or visit the Alexa web interface. Slide out the left sidebar and select Settings. Tap the Music category and you'll see a page where you can connect your services. Alexa will also ask questions about your news preferences, Alexa-based skills you may want to install, and more. Once the introduction concludes, you can begin using your Alexa-enabled device. Now say, 'Alexa, connect' - the voice assistant will start checking for devices to connect to. On your smart TV, navigate to the Bluetooth settings to find the Echo speaker you're wanting to connect.
Apple Podcasts for Alexa is available only in Austria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States.
