# alexa-youtube-skill

By default, Amazon Alexa does not support playing audio from YouTube.
In fact, it only supports a limited number of third-party audio-based skills like Spotify music.
Otherwise, all default Alexa skills that use audio are tied almost exclusively to Amazon services.
This project contains the code for an unpublished skill that allows users to search and play audio from YouTube.
For example, a user might say:
This project contains the source code for an unpublished skill that allows users to search and play audio from YouTube
as, by default, Amazon Alexa does not support playing audio from YouTube.

> Alexa, search YouTube for Frost Hyperventilate.
After setting this skill up, it's easy to query YouTube for the video of your choice:

This skill performs a search, finding [the most relevant video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol592sakmZU) that matches the query.
> Alexa, ask YouTube to search for ...
This skill performs a search, finding the most relevant video that matches the query.
It then streams the video (audio only) to your Alexa device for your enjoyment. :)
