While Amazon Prime already gives you a decent range of benefits, from faster delivery to Prime Video and more, Alexa can help you can even more out of your subscription. This fully-featured skill makes it easy to dodge about your Xbox without stopping what youвЂ™re already doing.

The skill gives you the handsfree ability to turn your Xbox on and off, launch games, adjust volume, request clips be recorded and, even, start a party with your friends. Now, with the Xbox Alexa Skill, itвЂ™s finally modernised. When Microsoft introduced voice commands to its console at the launch of Xbox One, it didnвЂ™t really take off and has been mostly absent since. To find new features, open the skills store in the Alexa app or simply say the correct voice command to auto-enable them. Whether you have an Echo speaker, or an Alexa-enabled device, weвЂ™ve picked some of the best Alexa skills you should try out. Plenty of these skills are completely rubbish but there's more to Alexa than just checking the weather, turning on the lights and ordering takeaway food. Amazon calls these third-party apps 'skills', and there are now over 100,000 available in the Alexa Skills store. Voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple's Siri are capable of performing more tasks than you might think, especially if you haven't checked in with them for a while.
