How to share Amazon Echo device with family

 

Setting Up Amazon Household

 

  • Amazon Household allows you to share your Amazon Echo device with family members. It connects multiple accounts under one household.
  •  

  • To set it up, visit the Amazon website and go to "Accounts & Lists" and select "Your Account." Then, find "Amazon Household" under "Shopping programs and rentals."
  •  

  • Follow the instructions to add adults, teens, and kids to your household.

 

Creating Voice Profiles

 

  • Create voice profiles for each family member to personalize the experience. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone.
  •  

  • Navigate to "Settings," and then "Account Settings." Choose "Recognized Voices" and then "Create a Voice Profile."
  •  

  • Each family member should create their own profile by following the prompts to say specific phrases to help Alexa recognize their voice.

 

Managing Permissions

 

  • Control what each family member can access with Amazon Alexa. Go to the Alexa app and choose "Settings."
  •  

  • Select "Amazon Household" to adjust permissions for each person, controlling things like calendar access, shopping lists, and more.

 

Using Drop In and Messaging Features

 

  • Drop In is a handy feature for checking in with family members in different rooms. Enable it in the Alexa app under "Communicate" and then "Drop In." Adjust permissions as needed.
  •  

  • Family members can send messages or make calls using Alexa. Simply say, "Alexa, drop in on [name]," or "Alexa, message [name]."

 

Sharing Music and Media

 

  • Use one Amazon Music or other streaming service account across multiple profiles. Set up family sharing within the specific streaming services, if available.
  •  

  • Each family member can request Alexa to play music, audiobooks, or other media using their voice profile for a personalized experience.

 

Tips for Trouble-Free Sharing

 

  • If users face issues, ensure everyone is using the latest version of the Alexa app.
  •  

  • Check that all devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network for seamless operation.
  •  

  • Regularly update your Amazon Household settings to ensure everyone’s access is as intended.
