Using Alexa to Control Netflix

Basic Voice Commands

If you have a Fire TV device or an Alexa-enabled smart speaker linked to your TV, you can control Netflix using your voice. Simply say, 'Alexa, open Netflix,' to launch the application instantly. This removes the need to manually navigate the home menu every time you want to start a show.

Contextual Playback Control

Beyond just opening apps, you can ask Alexa to play specific content. For instance, 'Alexa, play Stranger Things on Netflix' will jump straight into the show. You can also use commands like 'Alexa, pause' or 'Alexa, skip intro' to manage playback, making your smart home setup truly hands-free.
