Control your TV by connecting to Bixby

Before you begin using Bixby, take a look at the Bixby guide by pressing the Microphone on your TV Remote. The Bixby guide will help you learn what voice commands you can use and will also offer access to Explore Bixby. Select Explore Now at the bottom of your screen to view your Samsung Account, Bixby settings, user information, and more.

When you learn a few commands, press and hold the Microphone, say the command, and then release. On the 2019 QLED TV, you can simply say "Hi Bixby" to wake Bixby up rather than using the Microphone button. Your Smart TV will recognise your voice command and navigate to the requested page or apply the changes directly - for example, "Navigate to the Settings page," or "Lower the volume." You can even adjust the sensitivity of this feature or turn it off in the Bixby settings menu.

Here are some examples of Bixby voice commands you can use to make life a little easier:

• To open the apps page, say "Open apps".
• Better yet, try "Open Netflix" and start watching some of your favourite shows.
• To set the volume, say "Volume" and any number from 0 - 100. For example, saying "Volume 25" will set the volume to level 25. If you choose a high volume level, you will need to confirm your selection by saying "Yes" or selecting Yes with the remote.
• To change the source, say "HDMI," "USB," or "TV".
• When playing media content, say "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Rewind", and "Fast Forward". These commands should work in many different apps.
• To search for a setting or show, say "Search..." followed by what you want Bixby to search for.

Don't like the way Bixby's voice sounds or want to turn off voice wake-up? Just change Bixby's settings.

Press the Microphone button once and select Explore Now to go to the Explore Bixby screen. Select Settings, then select the setting you want to change. Voice Wake-Up can have the sensitivity changed from High, Medium, or Low, or it can be turned off.
