How Can You Stream YouTube Music on Alexa?

Did you know that you can stream YouTube Music on your Alexa device, even without a direct integration? It’s true!

All you need to do is pair your smartphone or tablet with Alexa using Bluetooth. Simply say ‘Alexa, pair’ to your Echo device or enable pairing mode through the Alexa app.

Once you’re paired up, just open the YouTube Music app on your mobile device, select the songs you want to listen to, and hit play. Your Alexa device will then act as a Bluetooth speaker, playing the music from your YouTube Music library.

This workaround allows you to enjoy your favorite playlists and subscriptions with the added convenience of voice-controlled playback. Just remember, you’ll control the music directly from your phone, so keep it handy for uninterrupted streaming.

Enable Bluetooth Pairing Mode

Before streaming YouTube Music through your Alexa-enabled device, you’ll need to put it into Bluetooth pairing mode.

First, open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. In the app, navigate to the Settings menu by tapping ‘Devices’ at the bottom. Once there, select your Echo device from the list.

Now, you’re ready to pair a new device; just tap ‘Bluetooth’ and then ‘Pair New Device.’ Alexa will guide you, but you can also say, ‘Alexa, pair,’ to enable Bluetooth pairing mode.

Your Echo device will then appear in your phone’s Bluetooth settings. Select it to connect via Bluetooth.

With that done, you’re all set to play your favorite tunes from YouTube Music.

Connect Your Device to Alexa

Why not connect your device to Alexa for a seamless streaming experience with YouTube Music?

First, ensure your Amazon Echo is in pairing mode. Then, on your phone, navigate to Bluetooth devices in settings and search for available devices. Tap on your Echo when it appears and confirm the pairing.

Now, with your phone connected, you can open the YouTube Music app. Select music to your taste and hit play. Your favorite tunes will stream through your Echo devices.

To manage connections in the future, use the Amazon Alexa app. Follow the steps to connect your phone or select your device from the list of Bluetooth devices. Once linked, you’re all set to play YouTube Music through your Echo with ease.

Access YouTube Music Library

How can you access your entire YouTube Music library on your Amazon Echo after pairing your device?

Once you’ve paired your phone via Bluetooth, you can play songs from your favorite YouTube Music playlists through your Amazon Echo as you’d with any Bluetooth speaker.

Say, ‘Alexa, connect my phone,’ and once connected, open the YouTube Music app on your device and select the tracks you want to listen to.

This way, you’re essentially using your Echo to listen to YouTube Music, letting you enjoy your music streaming experience hands-free.

Remember that while you can’t play YouTube videos directly, accessing your YouTube Music account and streaming audio is simple when you treat your Echo as a Bluetooth speaker.

Control Playback via Voice

Having connected your device, you can effortlessly control your YouTube Music playback on Alexa with simple voice commands. Your Amazon Echo is now more than just a speaker; it’s your personal DJ.

Here’s what you need to know to command Alexa to play your favorite tunes:

• Say ‘Alexa, play [song name] on YouTube Music’ to stream music instantly.
• If you need a moment, just ask Alexa to pause, and say ‘Alexa, resume’ when you’re ready.
• To discover new hits, tell Alexa, ‘skip’ and she’ll jump to the next track.
• Want to hear something again? ‘Alexa, start over’ is your go-to command.
• Control your playback without lifting a finger by saying, ‘Alexa, set the volume to [number]’.

Enjoy hands-free control of YouTube Music on your Alexa device, and keep the vibes going!
