Is it possible for one Google Chromecast withe Google TV to support two remotes. My wife and I sit beyond arms reach when we watch TV and each of us would like to use a remote.

Thank for your help.

Mine allows me to use the original remote plus the remote on the Google tv app on my phone, so maybe? I can't see why not.

BigSky's solution is the most elegant.

If you have an Android phone that supports the on-phone remote, use that along with your regular remote.

Note: the on-phone remote will not include all the same buttons and may not be able to do volume and TV power-on/off because a lot of TVs use IR for that.

Hi Jeran,

I never got the answer to my question. I want to know if 2 voice remotes will work with the same Chromecast with Google TV Puck.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the help

The answer should be yes. I also have hooked up my husband's Xbox controller as a remote. All you do is add a Bluetooth remote in settings. Just try it.

Hi there,

KQRR4449, Chromecast with Google TV only supports one Voice Remote at a time. You may try the suggestions provided by Byteguy and bigskydolphin, but take note that it may or may not work.

Thanks for the help, Byteguy, Jeran, and bigskydolphin. I appreciate it!

Thanks,

Jennifer

HI Jennifer,

Thanks very much for the information. It might be nice to add the ability to use 2 remotes in the future.

In the meantime, I've been trying Google Voice Assistant with Google Home on my phone and it works great. It took a fair amount of work to set it up but I can now ask for a program from a streaming service and play it on the TV via Chromecast. Pretty slick!

Thanks again for your help.

Best,

Hey there!

It looks like KQRR4449 no longer needs any assistance, so I'm locking up the thread. As always, feel free to make a new thread if you have any more questions or concerns.

Thank you for your help, bigskydolphin, Byteguy, and Jennifer!
