Use Your Alexa Device to Control Your Fire TV

Just tell your Alexa device what you want to do, and Alexa completes the action directly on your Fire TV--no remote needed.

Note: Some voice commands are only available in select languages.

Compatible Devices

You can find your compatible Alexa devices when you link your Fire TV in the Alexa app.

This feature requires both the latest Fire TV device software update and the latest version of the Alexa app. Echo Show devices don't support all features.

Link Your Devices

You can find steps to link your devices on Link Your Fire TV and Alexa Device.

Note:

You can link multiple Alexa devices to the same Fire TV.
To link your Alexa and Fire TV devices, you must register them to the same account.

Control Your Fire TV

Once you've completed the linking process, this table lists common features that you can control on your Fire TV using Alexa devices:
