I also have an Amazon Echo but have not paired them. I really like Plex and, along with Kodi, it is my go-to media center. While it is true that there is no advantage to doing things with your voice that takes a second to do with a remote control or a mouse, it looks great when it happens! You can even control Plex with your voice using Alexa. To control playback, use your phone or the touchscreen controls on the device itself.Check How To Use Plex with the Amazon Echoĭid you know that you can link Plex with Amazon Echo? I didn’t do it until I spent time with someone who had organized it that way. Select your Nest Hub and playback starts. Simply load up YouTube on your phone (or your laptop), find the video you’re after, and tap on the Chromecast button. The Nest Hub doubles as a Chromecast device and will automatically show up on your network.
It’s a bit hit or miss if you’re looking for a specific video, you’re better off finding it on your phone and beaming it over to the Nest Hub. YouTube is the default video player on the Nest Hub, as you might expect, and you can just ask to “play some cat videos” or “play Billie Eilish videos” to fire up a list of clips. Here is every video-streaming app that works on your smart display.
You can’t run Netflix on either the Echo Show or the Nest Hub, and you can’t use the Chromecast feature built into the Nest Hub either, because Netflix doesn’t recognise these devices as displays in the same way a service like Plex does. There’s one conspicuous omission: Netflix. It’s not always obvious which video apps work on these smart displays, or what you can do with them, which is why we curated this list of what you can run and can’t run right now. Get yourself a Google Nest Hub or an Amazon Echo Show, and you’ve got a device that can do everything a smart speaker can-plus play videos.
