Does a Chromecast have a reboot from the remote feature.

I have had Amazon Firesticks and if things were flaky with an app or a crash, I could hold down the select and pause button on the remote to reboot the Firestick. Does Chromecast have something similar. I can kill an app if I need to but if something happens to lock things up, rebooting with the remote is very helpful.

It does not have a reboot-from-remote. You can reboot from the Google Home App or from the settings menu of the Chromecast.

Thank you for your confirmation. Neither of those work if the device has locked up. It may not happen often but on a cold night, needing to crawl out of bed in the dark to unplug and re-plug, is a rather unwelcome solution.

Thank you
