GUYS GET BOTH APPS THAT WERE SHOWN! I tried it and it worked!

SOLUTION TO LAUNCH YOUR LG APPS: To get Alexa to launch Apps on your LG TV, it requires different phrasing than all the other commands. You have to tell her to *ask LG* to do it. So for example: To launch the Prime Video App, say “Alexa tell LG to launch Prime Video on [my TV]” (or whatever your TV is named). Same goes for Netflix and any other app. I just tested it and it works.

You are a lifesaver! I spent hours with tech support and you explained it perfectly.....thank you!!!!! Now it works

Thank you for your questions/comments. You can check if your LG TV is compatible here - www.lg.com/us/support/works-with-google-alexa-voice-assistant

Here's how to get it to turn on (from LG support and it actually worked: 1) Turn your TV off. 2) Unplug it from the outlet. 3) Press and hold the power button on the TV for 15-20 seconds. 4) Wait for one minute and then plug your TV back into the outlet.Tell Alexa to turn your TV on.

After a year you finally solved my problem!! Thank you

I finally got it to work with your help!! Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial! ❤️

To launch an app you have to say "ask LG to launch KZfaq on my TV" the ask LG part I think makes sure it's using the TV ap and not like a fire stick

FINALLY. THANKYOU! After jumping through SOOOOO many hoops with passwords and stuff, I’ve got my new tv working with Alexa! Easy to follow and simple instructions! Liked and subbed!

If you can't find WebOS go to settings

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!! I watched 10 videos and you showed the whole process thank you

Thanks so very much - I've been trying to get my TV linked to Alexa for best part of a year and only thanks to you have I been able to do it! Brilliant

I just enabled everything now. In late 2019 I am able to turn the TV on with voice commands. However, I'm also having problems with launching apps via voice command. My Echo just says "I couldn't find any enabled video skills. Please enable video skills & devices." When i go to the TV & Video section of the settings I see a list of apps but no mention of LG TV or Netflix. I'm at a loss because when I first connected the TV to the Echo the example commands on-screen showed launching Netflix as a possible command.

Good vid. But please note viewers that your LG tv may not have the Webos tab even if it is a webos tv. The 8 series tvs were shipped to some countries without the app and it can't be installed. Why companies do this I have no idea. surely it isn't a rights issue in this case but who knows. I know this is the case with New Zealand models. Amazon has good info on which countries models were shipped with the app. The 9 series I think, were shipped with the app or automatically connect.

Thanks , worked for me , I had to download th basic app as it would search for new devices or work on the other app , pretty slow and basic but I'm just happy I can turn on the TV with my voice now

Your LG TV must support webos 4.0 in order to support this feature. Find out in your TV Settings >General>About this TV. My LG TV has webos 3.8. Not sure what the alternative is? Maybe an Amazon Fire Stick?

Best app iv found, simple and easy to understand and works great

Thank you . You really made that simple enough.

Worked thank you!

I don't have a web-os on my LG TV. Should have. It's brand new. Smart tv

Thank you, well explained and very helpful!

Very good video on how to set it up. Thanks.. I am thinking on getting me an echo speaker but I want to control everything at home lol

Thank you so much I tried setting this up on my TV 12 times and failed. I was logging into my LG account instead of Amazon under the skills which I believe was causing me my issues. I didnt notice the Amazon login option before. Works great now except when I say Alexa, set my TV to channel 25 all I get is TV isn't responding.

OK, but what if your TV has Alexa built-in I am having trouble it’s bad enough. I had to buy an extra remote because the remote that came with the TV doesn’t have an Alexa button when the box at the store said it had Alexa built it such a rip off.

The LG ThinQ app use to change channels for your topbox (AT&T, Uverse, etc), but stops working. 😤 however it does work if you use LG’s live TV. I hope LG fixes this Buggy App soon. However I do like the feature to listen to TV using your smartphone and wireless earbuds.

I don’t have a web os app and it’s not on the content store could it be because I’m from Scotland?

Bummer I have WebOS 3.8. Wonder if 4.0 is coming to the C7P.

Thanks for the help was very easy to follow

Great vid. I was having trouble setting up but your vid was great.

I managed to setup my samsung series 7 tv today and I had to download the smart things app and then link it to Alexa. It also works with Google home as well. I can turn my tv on from both devices. .

Thank you I was going crazy trying to figure out. Thank you all your videos are supper helpful

The set up to for Alexa app is gone and my Alexa just says there is no TV connected to LG except on the lg app I can control the TV fine

My TV is a model lg signature, produced in 2017. Can I connect him to Alexa? I can't to find the application of alexa in the menu.

I was looking to turn ON tv by alexa when tv is standby mode. but unfortunately turning ON by alexa is not working..

the application does not appear in the store , only Amazon prime.

it doesn't work, the webos app is not displayed in my tv

Now tell Alexa to turn on TV 😂

Alexa does turn on/off my tv but it doesn’t recognize to launch any video app like netflix, youtube etc.

Spent a good hour trying to get Alexa to discover my TV. **Solution** Log in using amazon option for everything. Do not use “login with google” or else it’ll detect your TV but won’t discover your device. Hope that helps somebody.

Thank you for the video....it's very interesting. Today is possible turn on the TV also? Because in the video you show only how turn off the TV. Thanks

Alexa screen doesn't pop up when I go to web os???

Hi. Very nice video. Very informative. But when I go to alexa app I cant find the lg smatThinQ

Hi Caroline, I did follow your tutorial and it worked perfectly. However, after a few months, my LG Smart TV does not want to respond to Alexa whenever I command it to TURN ON. It does however respond when I command it to TURN OFF. I did try to disconnect my Eco Dot and reinstall but it still does not want to TURN ON. What might be the issue here?

Are you still not able to turn on the tv with alexa device?

Hello again. Is it possible to set my lg sound bar to my echo dot. I've tryed and tryed and had no luck what so ever. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thank you 😀

Logitech Harmony hub will allow you to turn on your TV through Alexa.

Do you have to have the magic remote to enable this?

Can I connect my Echo Show 5 to LG WebOS version 3.21?? Pls help!

2019 OLED / WebOS 4.5 - Settings button, All Settings, Connection, Link To Device for Voice Control. Why LG moved it from the front screen to buried in a menu I have no clue....

Where do I download and install webos? I don't have it on my tv

Your Awesome!

my eco dot dosent respond to any commands other than turn on and turn off. why is this?

I can’t open youtube with the echo dot

Is it possible now to turn on the TV using Alexa?

I did everyone of those steps but my echo won’t discover the TV. When I open the Alexa app on my phone it shows the TV as another Alexa device but not a TV that I can control with the echo. Super frustrating. I’m just going to reset the TV back to factory settings and try again, I guess. It should be SO much easier then all of those steps. If the TV is on the same WiFi network the only steps should be to get Alexa to discover it and connect. There shouldn’t be any need for all of the registration crap.

Thank you!!!

Were you able to get the echo to work as a Bluetooth speaker!?

Thanks, However LG provide the service only in USA and UK.

I'm planning to buy 2 Amazon Echo devices. Is it possible to use them in conjunction as output speakers for the LG TV. My LG TV's inbuilt speaker quality has deteriorated over the years and it now sound muffled. Your help would be much appreciated
