Adding the TV to Alexa

Why Is My Vizio TV Not Connecting to Alexa?

Is your Vizio TV having trouble connecting to Alexa? There are a couple of things you’ll need to check. First, check on your Wi-Fi router and make sure your network is online because a faulty connection will prevent the TV from connecting.

Select Add to Alexa on the TV screen.

Tap More (three lines) > skills & games.

Tap the magnifying glass and type Vizio Smartcast.

Tap Enable to Use.

You’ll be prompted to enter your My Vizio login credentials.

Once you select Approve, Alexa should be enabled.

Select the Discover Devices button.

Alexa will sync your Alexa-enabled device to your Vizio Smart TV.

Perform a test by saying, “Alexa, adjust the volume on my TV.”

You’ll also want to make sure you have the most updated version of the Alexa app. The Vizio Smart TVs are constantly updating, and it can be easy to forget to update the Alexa app on your smartphone.

Doing a complete reboot of your Vizio Smart TV might be in order, as well. This can be done by navigating to the Settings menu and pressing Reboot.
