The voice commands are one of the finest features of using Google on your device. You may instruct your device to perform a variety of tasks on your behalf just by speaking to it.

Play Media

Open “Netflix/Hotstar/Youtube/Prime Video/—“

O: Opens up that particular App.

This works for a majority of the Apps installed except for a few that are not recognized either due to the pronunciation or because it searches for a single word as two words. For ex, when you say “Open ErosNow”, it searches for “Eros Now” and comes up with Youtube results. The same happens with JioCinema too.

In such cases, use the command “Open Jio Cinema App”. This time as we added App to the command, it comes up with App results as below, and we can click to open the App.

• “Play Money Heist on Netflix.”

Here’s the total list of Apps that can we control the playback with GA Netflix, Hulu, CW, CBS All Access, HBO Now, YouTube TV, Sling TV, Viki, Crackle, Red Bull, STARZ, and Google Play Movies & TV.

• “Pause.”
• “Play some songs.”
• “Play Latest songs from Youtube.”
• “Play music on Home Speaker.”
• “Show my pictures.”
• “Show me photos of Dad/Mumbai.”
