    I think this will be possible only when a skill can install custom temporary wake words, because longer listening time (>8 sec) is not acceptable for privacy reasons. However, I do hope that a solution like that given by Marius Narkus above is implemented, a special type of skill that allows longer listening times if the user has agreed beforehand, and where frequent feedback about the listening status is given.

    My motivation is a game skill which is made unplayable by the discussed restriction in listening time, or on the other hand by lack of customizable skill-specific wake words.

    This would be a way to work around the 8 second response time restriction.
