### Improved media player commands
We have introduced new media player intents that allow you to do more while saying less. Thanks to
two new features, you can say the following voice commands to control media players in the same area:
We have introduced new media player {% term intents %} that allow you to do
more while saying less. You can say the following voice commands to control
media players in the same area as your Assist device:
- "Pause"
- "Resume"
- "Next"
- "Set the volume to 50%"
- _"Pause"_
- _"Resume"_
- _"Next"_
- _"Set the volume to 50%"_
Up until now, we were only proposing sentence targeting a specific entity by its
name. Due to this limitation, these intents were not the most user friendly to
use, as the sentences were pretty heavy to say: _"Skip to the next song on the TV"_.

We added two features to allow us to get to the smallest sentences possible. Context awareness makes
our voice assistant aware of the devices in the same area as the satellite. On top of that we have created
a smart matching strategy that finds the right media player to target. For example, if you say "pause",
the voice assistant will automatically target the media player that is playing.

Just make sure your voice assistant is assigned to an area that contains an
exposed media player, and you will be good to go.

Just ensure your voice assistant device is assigned to an area with an exposed
media player, and you will be good to go.
