Note

Some Amazon Alexa features are not supported in some regions (TV supports app starting from webOS 4.0 [2018 TV Models]).

Connecting to an AI speaker is affected by the wireless environment, the state of your mobile device, the apps you're using,

Settings for each step may vary if there are program changes from the app developer or speaker manufacturer.
