All those users who have the Echo Show 15 in their homes are in luck. Basically, because Amazon has just released a new update with which these devices become a kind of Fire TV. And it is that, from now on, with this new update of its software it allows users to use their screen to view content on different streaming platforms.
Previously, the Amazon Echo Show 15 did not have this quality. But, from now on, the brand has decided to turn this device into a mini Smart TV , since it adds one more function to the smart screen. A device that landed in Spain this year, being the largest smart screen in the Amazon series. And now you have the Fire TV interface.
Adding Fire TV to the Echo Show 15
It was at the end of September of this year when Amazon already revealed that a new update would be released to its Echo Show 15 so that its users were lucky enough to have a Fire TV interface and thus enjoy the different streaming platforms on this device in concrete. However, it has not been until now when the brand has decided to launch this update.
In just five minutes or less, you will have the update downloaded and installed on the Amazon Echo Show. With it, a shortcut to Fire TV is added to the top right of the device’s user interface. Therefore, it will be that simple to access this new section that has reached the largest smart screen in the catalog of the well-known brand.
Also, keep in mind that it is an update that comes completely free to all users with an Echo Show 15 . And not only this, but from now on, this particular model will be released with this new version from the factory, so it will not be necessary to update the device to have access to Fire TV.
Open a platform with Alexa
And not only is Fire TV added for free to the Echo Show 15, but Alexa can be used to quickly open any of the many streaming content platforms that exist right now, such as Disney+, Prime Video, HBO Max, etc. . It will be as simple as saying the following words: « Alexa, open Netflix ».
However, it must be taken into account that, after having installed the update, we will have to access Fire TV to add the different applications of these streaming platforms that we want to have on the Amazon smart screen. In addition to that we must log in with our accounts in those same applications so that we can start watching series and movies.
Therefore, Amazon’s idea of turning its Echo Show 15 into a small screen as if it were a Smart TV has finally been fulfilled. Since it has all the necessary functionalities for it. Especially now that current streaming platforms can be easily accessed.
