Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1219
Hello there, happy Monday, Terry here and today I want to talk to you about another featured routine.
Just before we get to that I’m excited about this week, because this week is the latest episode of The Voice Den.
And of course, you can catch all of the festivities involved with the show and the augmented reality after party at TheVoiceDen.com and of course, it’s free due to the generous sponsorship of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Alright, let’s talk about a routine today and this is again, one of those featured routines.
Follow along here, you go to your Alexa App, you click on the More button in the bottom right corner, you click on routines and then you’re gonna see featured at the top, you click on that.
once you enable this and set it up, it will power on your Fire TV
And the next featured one that I want to highlight for you today is the Begin My Day routine.
And this is if you have a Fire TV Stick, then this allows you to just simply say, “Alexa, Begin My Day”, and once you enable this and set it up, it will power on your Fire TV.
It’ll tell you something new about the day, it’ll report your weather, it’ll report your traffic, and then it’ll play your news from your flash briefing.
So you get all of that done with that one command, “Alexa, Begin My Day”, and of course, you can edit and customize all of this.
So check it out, that’s how you set it up, you go to your app, bottom right More, click on routines, and then you’ll see featured and then away you go, alright?
Hope that’s helpful for you and will be back tomorrow with a great, great podcast and I’ll tell you about it tomorrow. talk to you then.
