Last updated:

Abstract:

Systems and methods for voice-enabled configurations for audio-output devices are disclosed. User accounts may be associated with one or more voice-enabled devices. Those voice-enabled devices may include audio-output functionality, while other voice-enabled devices do not include audio-output functionality. For devices without audio-output functionality, sending and/or receiving calls and/or messages may depend on whether the device is connected to an auxiliary device with audio-output functionality, via wired and/or wireless connection. Notifications of whether calling and/or messaging is enabled may be sent to the sending and/or receiving devices.
