Can I stream audio into Echo device when a call is made from iOS / Android VOIP app using bluetooth connection?

We have a VOIP app (both in Android and iOS). I wanted to know if the audio could be streamed into the Echo device device when a user makes the call from this VOIP app on his phone using bluetooth connection.

That is when the user makes the call from that VOIP app, he should be able to listen to the audio through Echo device speakers instead of listening it on his android or iOS phone speakers. For example, if I connect my iPhone's bluetooth to Echo device bluetooth and play the music in my iPhone, I could hear the music on bluetooth speakers. In the same way when I make the call to my friend using our VOIP app we developed, can I hear the voice of my friend who answered the call on Echo device device and can I respond back to him through Echo device device.

We would really appreciate if you could clarify and let us know if the audio could be streamed into the "Echo device device" when a user makes the call from a VOIP app on his phone. If there is such kind of possibility could you please let us know, what kind of APIs we need to use to implement this feature in our VOIP app.

Thank you in advance.

Hi. I understand that you would like to know whether it's possible to use the Echo's bluetooth connection as a microphone input. This is not currently a supported feature of teh Alexa platform. That said, as a developer you can submit feature requests and ideas in our uservoice space via the following link:
