Amazon and Google are locking heads! This will come as a surprise to many, but it’s true. Amazon and Google are not in good terms as of late, as a result of which Google has decided to stop permitting Amazon Echo Show to access YouTube.
This is a big jolt to Amazon Echo users because YouTube was one of the most important apps for them. But, if they try to ask for ‘YouTube Video’, then they get this message, ‘Currently, Google is supporting YouTube on Echo Show’.
This is a serious issue because people were accessing YouTube on a daily basis. People asked Amazon as to why this issue has occurred in the first place to which the company said that ‘Google has made changes on its platform. Google has decided not to give access to YouTube to Echo Show.
The company hasn’t explained as to why they took such a decision and hasn’t given any prior notification to the customers as well.’ Amazon deemed this decision as very disappointing and hurtful for the customers. People have called for Amazon Echo help, but Amazon can’t do much about it.
If you are not familiar with Echo Show, then it is an Alexa-enabled smart speaker, which comes with a screen in order to make people eligible to do stuff like watch videos and so on. Talking about videos, YouTube is the biggest source of videos in the world today, so if YouTube is not available on Amazon Echo Show, then people would really find it hard to get the best videos. Even getting in touch with Amazon Echo support couldn’t get rid of this problem.
Amazon has confirmed that it isn’t the mistake by them, but Google has taken off YouTube purposely. But, Google has told a different story to the media. Here is what Google said, ‘We are in talks with Amazon for a long time, and we are trying to come to a point where we can strike a deal with Amazon to be able to provide great experiences for the customers.
Google blamed Amazon for violating the terms of service, but it also said that they are trying to reach an agreement and resolve all outstanding issues soon.’ Many Amazon Echo users have tried to setup their devices all over again by visiting www Amazon com echosetup, but they found out that they have performed the setup in the right manner.
Google is very particular about the way YouTube gets displayed on the apps that are developed by other companies. Google has been into a similar kind of issue with Microsoft a few years ago, and Google has blocked the app, which forced Microsoft to launch a web player for YouTube.
Google Home also allows you to listen to music sourced from YouTube. The problem can’t be fixed by doing Amazon Alexa setup because it’s not a problem that is related to setup.
This fight between Google and Amazon is going to affect customers more than anyone else. Alexa, which is a highly sophisticated voice assistant will lose its ability to display video from YouTube.
It seems like Google and Amazon are not gelling up very well together because if they had, then this issue would have been resolved by now. If you are not being able to access more apps other than YouTube, then you need to log onto www.Amazon.com alexasetup. Maybe there is an issue with the setting up of Amazon Echo, which is causing this problem.
