<p>Hey Xbox Insiders! Did you know that you can “Report a problem” through Alexa skills? </p>
<p>Detailed reports on Xbox One features and experiences help us provide meaningful feedback to Xbox engineers. But we know some prefer to submit reports without the controller and virtual keyboard on the console.</p>
<p>Team Xbox is improving speech-to-text to make your Xbox One experience the best it can be. In an age that allows us to work and play hands-free, your smart device holds the key to easily provide feedback to Xbox engineers. If typing with the virtual keyboard and controller isn’t your preferred method, now you don’t have to!</p>

<h2>“Alexa, tell Xbox…” </h2>
<p>Last September, Xbox’s family got a little bigger with <a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/09/06/xbox-now-connects-with-cortana-and-alexa-enabled-devices/">Alexa</a>, but we haven’t spoken much about what this AI can do for you as an Xbox Insider. Before we begin, however, make sure you have <a href="https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/digital-assistant-voice-commands/set-up-alexa-as-digital-assistant-xbox-one">set up Alexa for your Xbox One device</a> with these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign into your Xbox One console</li>
<li>Install the Alexa app on your mobile device and search for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Beta/dp/B07H25BSCN/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-skills&ie=UTF8&qid=1539320836&sr=1-2&keywords=xbox&tag=pocketlintviglink-20">Xbox</a> in Skills</li>
<li>Sign in with your Microsoft account after selecting the <strong>Xbox Skill</strong></li>
<li>On your Xbox One console, make sure “Digital assistants” is enabled under <strong>Settings</strong></li>
<li>Follow the instructions on the Alexa app to pair your console with your Alexa-enabled device </li>
</ol>
<p>Got your devices paired? Excellent. Now comes the fun part. <strong>Just say, “Alexa, tell Xbox to file a bug.”</strong> </p>
