Title: 2 Questions if I may please.
Post by: Peter.R on October 15, 2018, 05:40:19 am
Hi.

I have a couple of questions that after looking around these forums I couldn't find an answer to, so thought I would ask here. If anyone knows of someone / somewhere I should ask then, by all means, please do let me know.

1) Will we be able to log into our favourite radio stations such as Absolute Radio here in the UK via the Echo smartphone app so we get fewer ads seeing as we are logged in, just like I can through my smart TV?

2) Will we be able to log into our Youtube account via the Echo smartphone app so we can play our playlist over the Echo V2?

Kind of like adding faves to an IE site, rather than having to keep going through your mobiles Bluetooth and having the mobile on all the time!

Thank you in advance for any help.

What you need to know is if there's a Skill for those.

When you add a skill for something like Spotify or Pandora, it includes a step to login, and thus get that benefit of having an account.

YouTube is google and Google is arguing with Amazon about YouTube on the Echo Show, so it's not likely there's a skill for YouTube right now...
