There are some Alexa features Vector will not support like playing songs from streaming music services via Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora, etc. But we'd rather you connect your tunes to an external smart speaker so Vector can show off his dance moves

A self-serve Help Center to assist in getting the most out of your product has been implemented by Anki.
