Do chromecasts come with remotes?

Chromecast does not come with a remote but you can likely use the remote that came with your TV if you follow these instructions.

A frequent question we ran across in our research was “Do you need a second device to control Chromecast?”.

This is what my research found. unlike previous iterations of the Chromecast, this new model comes with a standalone remote. That means you are no longer required to use a secondary device (such as a smartphone or laptop) to control/cast media. Instead, you can use it just as you would a Roku or Amazon Fire TV device.

You could theoretically one day rewind and fast forward videos on your Chromecast — right from your TV’s physical remote control. However, the Chromecast doesn’t have support for these features. Google may add support for this in the future, allowing you to use your TV’s remote control for even more.

Do you have a Chromecast with Google TV remote?

You likely already have one [UPDATED 10/15/2020] UPDATE – 10/15/2020: With the release of the new Chromecast with Google TV, you can now have a fully-featured remote that will do way more than the remote that came with your TV.

This is what our research found. with the remote, new interface and Google Assistant, the new Chromecast with Google TV is finally on par with the Roku Streaming Stick and the Amazon Fire TV Stick. They’re even all priced at around $50.

The “Chromecast with Google TV,” as it’s fully called, is available starting today for $49.99, a price that puts Google right in line with Roku’s Streaming Stick Plus and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s also $20 less than Google’s Chromecast Ultra, which doesn’t have a remote or its own TV interface.

How do you use Google Assistant on Chromecast with Google TV?

The remote that comes with the Chromecast With Google TV includes a Google Assistant button ; press it to search by voice or ask Google’s virtual assistant to open supported apps. If you have an older Chromecast and a Google smart home devices like a Nest display, connect them and say things like “OK Google, play The Woman in the Window on Netflix.”.

What is Chromecast and how does it work?

In the end, Chromecast is just a different way to think about watching things on your TV : built from the ground up not to require a remote and with the expectation that there would never really be one for it.

The Chromecast’s new remote control looks and feels like a minimalistic, well-designed Roku remote (minus the headphone jack, unfortunately). It’s compact, comfortable, and the buttons beneath the D-pad are well-spaced out.
