The Call of Duty Alexa Skill is activated by you saying, "Alexa, tell Call of Duty…" or "Alexa, ask Call of Duty…" followed by a specific action or question. Alexa then responds to you based on keywords in the action you request or the question you ask. If Alexa doesn't hear the keyword correctly, the Call of Duty Alexa Skill will either make a guess or not take action.
