From here, you should accept the terms and connect your NVIDIA account. Finally, select the specific Shield TV and Echo device for pairing, and you should be good to go.
So what can you actually do with the Skill? NVIDIA says you can use your voice to power on/off the TV box, adjust volume, launch specific apps, use media controls (pause, play, fast-forward, next), or visit specific menus (e.g. settings and home).
The company noted that it’s now the only “streamer” to support both Amazon Echo andGoogle Homedevices. That would be a pretty big feather in NVIDIA’s cap if the company is talking about streaming boxes or even Android boxes in general.
