How do you use a family premium account with amazon alexa speakers?

[jeremyhyatt]

My family has four amazon alexa speakers in our home. I just upgraded to the family premium plan, but I still can't get spotify to play unique music simulanteously on each echo. Help! My children are young enough that I control all the alexa's through the ap. They don't have their own emails and there is no reason to invite them through the family premium upgrade process.

There are a few other threads about this - but to summarize:  if each child has a speaker, the easiest way is to set up an Amazon account for each Spotify account.  Two adults in the same household can use the same Amazon account, but if you set up a child in the household, you cannot assign an Echo speaker to them.  So, you set up a new Amazon account for them, log into the Alexa app as them, then assign the device to them and connect it to their Spotify account.  Don't forget to turn off voice purchasing unless you want to allow them to buy things.  Also you will probably want to set the default music player to Spotify.  If you don't want to dedicate a speaker to a user, you can use the command "Alexa Spotify Connect" but you need to log into the Spotify account on a device as that user and then play the music and each time select that speaker to play it on (as you would with a Bluetooth device).  You won't be able to play music that way using voice commands.

One other thing I should mention is regarding your comment about the kids not having their own email addresses.  We have a "kids" email address which is controlled by us and has a rule to auto-forward all email to our regular email addresses.  So you would still have to set up separate email addresses but don't have to log into each one to manage your account.
