Yes, you can do so not only from amazon music but also from other platforms such as Spotify and panorama.

however, you can not play non-music content. With some improvement, you can listen to audiobooks in multiple rooms.

Also, you cannot use a Bluetooth connection, your speakers have to be connected to the same wi-fi network. 

What commands should I give to Alexa so that music plays in different rooms?

you can give several different types of commands like

Alexa stops or starts playing music on [name of the group]

As these commands are simple and easy, they can be given by anyone.

However, sometimes Alexa might get confused and play different music such as if it interprets the song name to be different or the name of the group to be a particular song and start playing that.

So, a better alternative is that you can go to the Alexa app and directly play from the music streaming platform.

You will face some problems if the speakers are in different rooms while connecting, the process is not very seamless. the problem will be more if they are not amazon echo, even if they are Alexa-enabled speakers.

These are:

  • The speakers need to be on the same wi-fi network
  • They need to be on the same band and BSSID. in case you are not aware of it, tell the person who set up your wi-fi to set it up too.
  • And if none of the mentioned ways work try calling amazon and they might be of help.

What are the other things that I can do?

You can set reminders on all the connected devices so that everyone in the home can listen to the reminder, this is specifically necessary for making announcements in big houses.

To do that, open the Alexa app and press the communication button which you will find at the bottom of the screen, there you can type the message you wish to communicate.

Closing thoughts

The speakers will have to be connected by the same wi-fi network and the speakers should be Alexa enabled.

However, if you do face problems after that check the wi-fi network and the compatibility of the speaker.
