You can easily control Google TV using your voice by utilizing the Google Assistant button on your Voice Remote.
Using the Google TV Voice Remote
The primary way to interact with Google TV using your voice is through the dedicated Voice Remote that comes with devices like Chromecast with Google TV. This remote has a built-in microphone activated by a specific button.
Here are the simple steps to use voice control:
- On the remote, press and hold the Google Assistant button. This action activates the microphone.
- Ask a question or say a command while holding the button.
Important Note: When you use the Voice Remote in this manner, you don't need to say "Hey Google" before you talk to Google Assistant. Just press and hold the button and speak your command directly.
You can use voice commands to:
- Search for movies and TV shows
- Open apps
- Control playback (play, pause, skip)
- Adjust volume
- Ask general questions (weather, sports scores, etc.)
- Control compatible smart home devices
