alexa.amazon.com media controls for Amazon device

When using Alexa device to play, for example Spotify, the media controls (pause/play/next/volume) appear on the alexa.amazon.com web site. This happens with a small number of Skills (e.g. Spotify, Amazon Music and TuneIn).
How about opening this up to all media-playing skills?

    This would be a very useful addition to the capabilities of an Alexa device

    I believe this is already available on .ca version. It is under Now Playing tab.

    I think this should be basic function for mediaplayer, and would bring more users to integrate alexa devices into their smarthomes

    This would make a huge difference for controlling older systems with Alexa voice control.

  • Phil McGee commented  ·   ·  Report

    I fully agree that this should be generally-available functionality.

    I agree with Paul

    Would make integration much easier for certain platforms

    Sounds great and could take Amazon Alexa devices to the next level
