""Due to low usage and shifting priorities, we made the difficult decision to remove the Plex Skill for Alexa," the company said, adding that after the cutoff date "the skill will no longer function on your Alexa-enabled devices.""
"One Reg reader summed it up with characteristic restraint: "Lifetime membership now useless for people with MP3 collections. This is whats [sic] wrong with 'open' source - you can't trust it to be there tomorrow, even if you pay for it.""
Plex will disable its Alexa skill on June 15, 2026, impacting users who utilized voice commands for media control. New users are already unable to access the feature, while existing users have a limited grace period. The decision stems from low usage and changing priorities. Despite the removal of the Alexa integration, Plex accounts and other functionalities will remain unaffected. Users who relied on Alexa for hands-free playback express frustration, particularly those with locally stored music collections.
