Create your own Youtube Channel. Any Videos within your channel when played via a link, will auto start and will not have advertisements.
- Find your desired Youtube video and using any free converter download it to an MP4 file
- Upload the MP4 file to your YouTube Channel. Place in UNLISTED privacy so no-one just stumbles on it.
Install the MyPage Skill to your Alexa. This skill, when invoked, will open any desired web link (i.e your above video)
- Tell your Echo Show to "Open MyPage and Show Dashboard
- Scroll to bottom of dashboard to see instructions to perform on computer.
  - Open the website and enter the number provided
  - Enter a name like (example: GM)
  - And enter a web link (example: https://youtu.be/3QvylTQfjnc)
  - Click on Save
Create a Routine in Alexa (triggered anyway you wish)... to say "Open MyPage and Show GM"
- I use it to play the above video on my mom's echo show each morning.
