Media Playback Commands
Learn basic media playback commands while playing story track on your Alexa
In this article, we'll go over some of the commands that you can use while the Alexa is playing a story track, i.e; when your Alexa enabled devices such as Echo, Echo Show or Mobile app is actively playing a story at the moment!
While there is an active playback going on, try saying one of the following commands to 'Stop' or 'Pause' the playback.
"Alexa, Stop"
"Alexa, Pause"
"Alexa, Cancel"
To resume playback of a story, trying saying the following:
"Alexa, Resume"
Note: When resuming, the Story Stream Skill automatically resumes the playback of the track from where you had left the previous time.
At any time to start over the track from the beginning, try saying any of the following:
"Alexa, Start over"
"Alexa, play from the beginning"
During a story playback, to skip to the next story, try saying the following:
"Alexa, Next"
"Alexa, Go to next"
During a story playback, to go to the previous story, try saying the following:
"Alexa, Previous"
This feature is work in progress. Soon you'll be able to say Alexa, forward and the player will forward in the increments of 15 seconds at a time.
We hope you enjoy Story Stream!
