PERFECT TIMING

Amazon Fire TV Stick users are just realizing ‘remote command trick’ removes annoying ‘timestamp issues’

You can pause, play, resume, stop, rewind, and fast forward with the feature

HAVING to rewind during a good movie or TV show can be annoying at the best of times, especially when you can't reach the right time stamp.

Amazon Fire TV Stick remotes can help you do this perfectly.

The trick requires making the most of an Amazon Alexa Voice Remote.

Older Fire TV Stick devices didn't come with a remote that you could talk into.

If you don't have one, you can buy one online as long as you check it's compatible with your current device.

Using a voice remote to talk to Alexa is easy.

Just hold down the Alexa button, which is the blue button with a white circular symbol.

Alternatively, you may need to hold down a black button with a microphone symbol.

While holding it, you can say useful commands that help you rewind.

Try saying "Jump back one minute" or "rewind 10 seconds."

You can also pause, play, resume, stop, and fast forward using voice commands.

Make sure you release the button once you've finished your command.
