Key Takeaways

  • Amazon Echo is a versatile device loaded with features and hidden settings. It can make to-do lists, set alarms, stream podcasts, read PDFs, control your smart home, and more.
  • You can customize your Alexa experience by muting the wake word, changing the wake word to something other than "Alexa," customizing your news or flash briefing, creating a sports update, and adding your calendar to your Echo.
  • You can enhance your audio experience by connecting a Bluetooth speaker or a music system via a 3.5mm cable, creating a multiroom group for music, and creating a stereo pair of Echos for stereo sound. You can also change the default music service and play songs you don't know by singing them to Alexa.
