Welcome to my first official Echo tutorial video! This video is to catch you up on all the features available on with an Amazon Echo. What feature do you want to see next?

[Newie]

I love Alexa. I have it set up all over and some times i see myself as a kid dreaming of having a computer like Star Trek and now here i am 50 years later and i have it. Thx for the video. You never stop learning from your videos.Keep up the good work.

[Soprano]

I'm so impressed with this. Thank you for this great video.
My mother is blind and disabled. I'm getting her into a nursing home and this would be great to play her music and to "drop in" to talk with our her having to touch anything or press buttons!

[SoeaOu]

Holy smokes. I just wanted to see if it's worth to buy the echo and i watched the whole 1h video...
Top quality overview.

[ohijordan]

I very much appreciate you muting when you say "Alexa" so you don't wake up all of ours haha

[ashbow]

I was ready to send my echo back, couldn’t set it up to WiFi, you mentioned the red button on top, I thought this was a power button, you set me straight, set up and activated, thanks so much, Ash

[terracecred]

thankyou, squire
- probably the clearest, most useful online tutorial i've ever sat through.
appreciate your style and delivery.
a bit of a latecomer to such magikal smoke'n'mirrordom,
(never yet spoken to my alexacated tv),
we've now got a santa's reindeerload of gizmos and setting 'em up
(maybe i should name 'em individually dasher / dancer / donner / blitzen...)
i really believe i have learned and understood what you just did
- now for the practical application thereof.
stand clear...
cheers from sunny brighton

I did buy a Phillips hue smart lightbulb, but it’s white and it only dims. It doesn’t change color and I didn’t have the Phillips app so I connected it directly with Alexa and we do have an Alexa that has Zigbee hub and that worked.

[carterb]

Just a cool feature you didn’t mention. If you tell Alexa that you’re going to get a snack during a movie, she’ll pause it until you say “I’m back”

[grindTIME]

so in depth... the only video i need to watch as a 1st time alexa user

[lisaevans]

I just bought this and i really wish they still printed a booklet with tech to show you what it does and how to do it

[antaggio]

Absolutely the best editing on a tutorial - it actually makes you believe Echo devices are functiomal - unless you already own one and know better. This goes for all the people that have caught themselves yelling at their devices to perfortm the most basic functions such as "play"or "pause" with no success.

[richardinnocente]

Loved the Star Trek “beam me up”, laughed out loud, and I was on the head.

[ccdogpark]

I REALLY like how you created an outline of this video in your description
with links for each topic. I know this takes more time but it makes your video
a much better reference. I'm going to look back through some of your previous
videos, now that I've seen that.

Very thorough, thank you! Owners of these devices don't realize exactly how much they can be used for. They really are a great wireless assistant. I only hope that future updates will allow US to choose exactly what "wake up" name we want to be saying all day every day because "Amazon, Echo, Alexa and Computer" get old fast and definitely are putting a dent in the "user friendly" and "user personalization" of owning these devices. Also, I would like to see the option of a Male voice and a Cartoon voice for children, I mean, come on Amazon, it is simple AI Coding. Again, thank you for this very educational video that should truly be provided by Amazon on their website for these devices.

[Finley.]

I got a twilight blue echo dot for Christmas (2020) yesterday I set it up but I still wanted to see how it works by watching the best tech guy on the planet I love u☺

[jeanneeber]

Absolutely the best unboxing video I’ve ever watched! Very accurately explained & you’ve managed to simplify even advanced features to be understandable & concise to both a beginner-as well as a techy! Thanks so much! Great work!

[OnMySoulJourney]

Yes!!!! You are the only one who has shown me how to correctly troubleshoot connecting my Phillips hue bulbs!! For weeks I’ve been watching videos but yours did the trick. Thank you!!

[Cowboy_Carter]

You're a doll for muting every time you say 'Alexa'. Mine would've gone craaazy. Lol

[BuddyBouncer]

I bought one of these yesterday (to pair with the security camera system I purchased at the same time - both were heavily marked down), and this video helped immensely with understanding its functionality. For my first foray into smart-ifying my apartment, you have single-handedly broken down almost every question I had after unboxing and setting up this product. Thank you.
