Searching with Amazon Alexa
Use your Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile app
to search for programs:
1. Link your Roku account to your Amazon account using the Amazon Alexa app
on your iOS or Android device.
2. Start your command with
“Alexa,”
and follow the command with
“on Roku.”
Some examples:
•
“Alexa, turn up the volume on Roku.”
•
“Alexa, show me documentaries on Roku.”
Note:
You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have enabled
Fast TV Start on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying,
“Alexa, turn on Roku.”

Direct-to-playback search results
With direct-to-playback, voice search results jump directly to and start playing the
program whenever your search command can be uniquely identified and the
requested content is available at no additional cost to you.

1 Direct-to-playback commands work with selected streaming channels. Direct playback occurs only
when there is a high confidence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the
channel is already added to your Home screen.
