Listeners can access Live365 on Amazon Alexa using the phrase "Alexa, play Live365!" Note that "Live365" is pronounced "live three sixty-five."
Enabling the Live365 Alexa Skill
Before you can listen, you need to enable the Live365 Alexa Skill. You can do this in one of two ways:
- Voice Command: Simply say, "Alexa, enable Live365 skill."
- Alexa Skills Store: Search for "Live365" in the store, or navigate directly to the skill page for your region:
Once you select "Enable," Live365 will be accessible across all of your available Alexa devices.
Using the Live365 Alexa Skill
After enabling the Live365 skill, tune into Live365 by saying “Alexa, play Live365!” You will then be prompted to pick a station or genre.
- To pick a specific station: Say "Play [Station Name]."

Live365 and Amazon Alexa+
As of February 2026, Amazon rolled out the latest version of Alexa by launching Alexa+. Amazon’s next-generation, AI-powered assistant – Alexa+ – is currently in an Early Access testing phase.
Because Alexa+ is still in active development, some Live365 broadcasters and listeners have reported functionality issues when trying to use Alexa Skills with this updated version.
How to disable Alexa+ for better stability
If you are experiencing issues using the Live365 skill on an Alexa+-enabled device, you can temporarily opt out of the Early Access version to restore standard functionality.
- From your Alexa Device: Speak directly to your device and say, “Alexa, exit Alexa+” or “Alexa, disable Alexa+”
- Without an Alexa Device: Alexa+ cannot be disabled from the Alexa App or Alexa.com. If you do not have physical access to the device, you must contact Amazon Support directly online or by phone at 1-888-280-4331 to request to have Alexa+ removed from your Amazon subscription.
