  1. Alexa app for windows


    Setting up devices and routines on my iPhone app works but is fiddly and I would rather use the full screen on my Windows PC. Most functions seem to be available, but you cannot configure devices rename, group and set routines. Does anyone have a workaround??

    :)

  2. Alexa App on Win10.

    Win10 1909. Strange problem with Alexa app from MSoft Store.

    Alexa on Win10 is the only Alexa device that will not play BBC Radio.

    Me: (To DESKTOPPC Alexa) "Alexa, play BBC Radio 2"
    Alexa: "Here's Radio 2"
    App: (On DESKTOPPC) "BBC Sounds"
    Silence.

    Me: (To Echo Alexa in the Hallway) "Alexa, play BBC Radio 2 on DESKTOPPC"
    Alexa: "Here's XXX" (A completely different TuneIn station)
    App: (On DESKTOPPC) Plays the TuneIn station that I did not ask for!

    I have the BBC Skill on the app. So I say...
    Me: (To DESKTOPPC)... Open BBC.
    Alexa: Choose a station or program.
    Me: Play Radio 2.
    Alexa: Here's Radio 2.
    Silence. The above works fine on other devices.

    I'm thinking this may be a Win10 settings problem, although I have no idea which. When I go into Sound Settings on Win 10 and choose "App volume device preferences" the volume slider against Alexa is greyed out. All other media/music apps are shown in blue and the slider can be adjusted. Kind of strange in that Alexa works (voice-wise) in all respects other than BBC radio. So for example if I say to DESKTOPPC.. Alexa Play Music ...it plays music. Despite that the App volume slider in Win10 settings is still inactive. This suggests the Alexa Win10 app installer is not installing properly.

    Alexa App

    The font in the Alexa app for PC is too light I can barely see the text in the app. I have changed the font in Windows yet I cannot change the font in the Alexa app for PC. Does anyone have a suggestion for correcting the problem?

    Thank you

    Hi Worried

    Download the Alexa App from the Microsoft Store

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/alexa/9n12z3c...

    Then you need to link Cortana to Alexa, a full step by step can be found here:
