Tell Alexa to start a Jam

Tell Alexa to start a Jam

I would like to allow guests that come to my house be able to set their own music to play on my Alexa by telling her to start a jam. Then all my guests can set the music they like.

Implementing an option to ask Alexa to Start a Jam via voice control is difficult, as the other users would need to receive an invitation to join, and invitations can only be sent from the native app. But no worries, we have two different ways that actually make joining a Jam super easy.

 

Spotify will automatically start a Jam when you are connecting to a smart speaker or most Bluetooth speakers. And this works on Alexa devices. Users on the same WiFi will receive an invitation to your Jam. Or, if both you and others have Bluetooth permissions enabled, others will receive an invitation to your Jam by taping your phone. You just need to enable the following option from the Connect picker next time you're listening to Spotify on your Alexa device:
