Xbox Skill all lets you control Xbox
Users can try the Xbox Skill with Cortana or Alexa, here’s how to get started: 1] Sign in to your Xbox account and visit amazon.com, 3] Plug your Echo into a power outlet. After about a minute, when the light turns from blue to orange, tap Continue.
5] then, sign in with your Microsoft account to link the skill. 6] Wait for few minutes until Alexa discovers your console, then follow the on-screen instructions to pair your console with Alexa. 7] Try your first command – “Alexa, start Rocket League.”
Control Xbox One using Cortana
1] Sign into your Xbox gaming console you would like to control. 2] Next, go to your Windows 10 PC, click on microsoft.com to sign in with your Microsoft account to link the skill. 3] Give a command like, ‘Hey Cortana, tell Xbox to open Netflix.’ You should be good to go now! Apart from just turning on the console, Alexa can do a bunch of different things with your Xbox One – launch games, pause an episode playing and even capture screenshots mid-game. Earlier too, Xbox had this ability to be voice-controlled but required a Kinect peripheral. Also, it didn’t receive much response then, since a hefty price for the console and Kinect peripheral together, drove the potential buyers away.
