Unable to discover devices using VideoSkill API

I am added Video Skill functions both in developer account and AWS lamda as per the documentation. I have enabled this Skill in my Alexa webapp (alexa.amazon.com) in my account. Once enabled, it does trigger "discovery of devices" but doesn't detect any FireTV box connected in the same network. Is there anything to be done additionally in FireTV to get detected? Video Skill documentation doesn't talk about this.

Is the trigger for your skill enabled in your AWS lambda?
