Find your pairing code First things first, you need to find your pairing code on your YouView box:

1. Bring up the menu with your remote

2. Select Settings*

3. Go to the Connected devices and select Voice control

*Depending on your box model, Settings will be on the last tab on the Main Menu or in a cog in the top right corner of the screen. You can get to the cog by pressing Up after opening the Main Menu. If you have the new Home Screen, you can access settings by pressing Up and then right after opening the home screen.

The YouView Alexa Skill can be found on the Amazon Alexa store which is available through any device with a web browser and internet connection. 

• BT users can also use the BT TV Alexa Skill

Select Enable to start the pairing process. 

1. Enter the pairing code displayed in the Voice Control section of your settings on the YouView box.

2. Select Pair

3. It will then display whether the pairing has been successful within the YouView Skill page. 

Once the code has been accepted in the form, your box will automatically update to show the device has been paired.

Pairing unsuccessful?

• Pairing code has expired
  The pairing code can expire if it's been open on your YouView box for more than 3 minutes. A new one should automatically generate so try the refreshed code instead

• Box or mobile device is not connected to the internet
  In order to pair your box to your Alexa device, both devices need an internet connection. If you lose internet connection while in the Voice Control or Mobile Devices settings, the page will automatically refresh and advise you to reconnect to the internet. 

There are two ways to unpair your Voice Device and box. From the box or from the YouView Alexa Skill:

• Disconnecting from the Box will ask you to also disconnect from the YouView Skill to complete unpairing from box ends.

• Disabling the YouView Alexa Skill will automatically unpair from both the skill and the box.
