How to Add an APL Video to an Alexa Skill
Recently, I was thinking that it would be cool if I could extend my knowledge of APL by learning how to add videos to my Alexa skills. This was one feature that I felt was important and that I was eager to learn. It was actually much simpler than I was expecting! Here are the steps:
- Create a video layout.
- Add that layout to your code.
- Add two directives to play your video.
And that’s it! You can watch my video where I explain these steps in detail.
Here is the link to my sample code for adding a video using APL.
Thank you! This helped so much
I’m happy I could help!
I thought I Heard you say you were going to post a rerun of the APRIL 26 VIDEO. Did I miss it? My wife and i both watched and ENJOYED it very much.
Hi Thom! I will be doing a rerun in the coming weeks. You haven’t missed anything!
hEY AARIV,
I’M A COLLEGE STUDENT ATTENDING CSUN AND I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS PRETTY OFTEN. I HAVE A PROJECT USING THE AMAZON ECHO DOT TO CREATE A CUSTOM SKILL.
I’VE LEARNED A LOT, BUT AM HAVING SOME TROUBLE SPECIFICALLY IMPLEMENTING THE VIDEO ONTO MY SPECIFIC INTENT. IS THERE A WAY WE COULD CONNECT TO GET SOME HELP?
THANKS.
BEST,
