This is a video for novice Alexa Skill developers. This is a screen recording step-by-step video where I take the Hello World Alexa Skill and add cards with images. I will show you how to upload your correctly sized/formatted images to S3 and update the CORS configuration. Then I will show you the correct syntax for your Alexa skill.
