All-New Personalized Fire TV Experience The Main Menu is at the center of your screen to make it easy to find what you’re looking for. You can now jump into your favorite streaming service directly, or scroll over supported apps to quickly peek at what’s inside and begin playback. Further, the brand-new Find experience makes it easier than ever to discover great movies, TV shows, and more, with browsing capabilities that allow for broad and specific searches based on genre (e.g. comedies, action), helpful categories (e.g. free, sports, Live TV), and more. Alexa remains at the core of the new Fire TV experience. It features improved voice controls that give you greater control of your entertainment. Just say, “Alexa, go to Live,” to jump to the Live TV guide, or say, “Alexa, go to Find,” to browse shows. With user profiles, Fire TV now delivers a personalized experience for up to six members of a household, providing individual content recommendations, viewing history, watch lists, preferred settings, and more. Changing user profiles is simple by saying, “Alexa, switch to my profile.” After the initial setup, Alexa will automatically recognize the voice and switch to your profile. Additionally, the redesigned Fire TV experience features a dedicated Alexa Explore destination, which displays popular Alexa features and helps you discover new recipes, view stocks, and more. You can also see and control connected smart devices in your home and multi-task while viewing a picture-in-picture feed of your Ring security camera. The new Fire TV supports for two-way video calling on Alexa by connecting a compatible Logitech USB webcam with the Fire TV Cube. Alexa video calling will be available later this year, while other services like Zoom will be added over time. The redesigned Fire TV experience will start rolling out globally later this year, starting with the all-new Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Stick Lite. Exact features will differ by country. It will be available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
