The latest update to Amazon Alexa’s Video Skill API is adding some cool new capabilities to the smart digital assistant. According to the retail giant, the new software will now enable users to record to a DVR via voice commands. Users will now also be able to use voice to navigate to frequently used options in their compatible DVRs or streaming services. That includes launching an app, opening the programming guide, execute playback / pause commands, and more.
Amazon also says that the update will enable Alexa to better handle multiple video skills at once, so a new voice command shouldn’t create any problems even if you’ve already enabled another video skill. That being the case, users can just say ‘Alexa, record the Red Sox game’ or ‘Alexa, Launch Prime Video’ to get the job done. Of course, the commands will work with any sports team and any streaming service.
