Once the multi-room music feature is set up, playing music is as easy as issuing a simple voice command. Say it:

  • "Play [music selection] on [group name]. "

You can also specify the service you want to use to play the music by saying:

  • "Play [music selection] on [group name] on Spotify." "

The feature works with the following music services:

  • Amazon Music Unlimited (Individual Plan or Family Plan)
  • Music from Amazon Prime
  • Amazon Music
  • Spotify
  • Third-party services like TuneIn and iHeartRadio

However, it won't work with any Bluetooth audio, as it disables Bluetooth connections while in use.
