Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1129
Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Tuesday and today, I want to give you a little bit of a tip of how you can Drop in on your other Echo devices when you’re out and about and it’s pretty simple.
All you have to do is use the Alexa app on your phone, so when you go to your Alexa app, you can click on the communications icon at the bottom of the screen.
Once you do that, there will be some buttons along the top of the screen, you click on Drop in and then you can choose the particular device that you want to Drop in on and is that simple and then away you go.
And you can now talk to that device and so if you are out and somebody is at home, and you want to Drop in on them through one of the Echo devices that are in the home, you just use that feature.
When you’re ready to hang up, you just push the red hang up icon, and you are all set, so hopefully you find that helpful, I think it’s a pretty cool feature.
I will also be making a couple of announcements about some special things coming up for session 12.
Alright, and I do want to give you one more reminder that tomorrow, tomorrow on Wednesday, March 24 is session 11 of The Voice Den the happy hour of voice online sponsored by Amazon Alexa (Don’t say the word Alexa) and Google Assistant.
Thanks to them, it is entirely free, we have five voicefluencers joining us on the show and you have the opportunity to come and ask them questions be part of the fun.
If you haven’t been there before it’s set up like a gamified online reality show/game show without any structured content, it’s all about chatting.
So I hope that you’ll come and check that out with us TheVoiceDen.com I will also be making a couple of announcements about some special things coming up for session 12.
Which will be well the 12th session there’ll be one year of doing episodes of The Voice Den, so I hope that you will come and hear those announcements as well, so that’s tomorrow, Wednesday, March 24 5PM Pacific at TheVoiceDen.com.
Have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will talk to you again tomorrow.
