I'm working on Amazon Echo (Alexa) now days, and quite new to it. I'm using AWS-Lambda function as endpoint, and testing my custom skill on simulator or Echoism.io. The skills without audios are working fine in this scenerio
The problem is, i'm creating an audio list, and want echo/alexa to play that. I've read that simulator doesn't support audio streaming at the moment. but i'm unable to stream it on Echoism.io as well.
I'm writing the simplest possible code on lambda from this link
But audio is not streaming. I've updated audio link and also have added logs (cloud watch). Function is being called and returning the response. but no audio.
Please help. Can we do it?
So, simple answer to my question in NO. i asked the same question on Alexa developer forum, and got this email from Alexa team:
Hello Faiza, audio streaming is not supported on the service simulator or echosim. You will need to use an Echo devices.
