An extra remote for google chromecast with tv remote

Can I add an extra remote to the same chromecast, so my wife has one, and I have one, working at the same time on the chromecast?

And if I can, then I must buy an additonal remote. I have 1. generation. If I buy an extra remote, will it then have to be a remote from 1.generation, or is it irellevant which generation the remote is.

We use two remotes at our house, though one is a Harmony hub. I don't see why two Google remotes wouldn't work.

Also, if you have a compatible Android device you can setup a Virtual Remote on it:

I have THREE remotes now; the one that came with the Chromecast, my phone, and my tablet.   That makes life a lot easier.

Hello there,

 

Thanks for the help here, kiltguy2112 and Byteguy!

 

Piratjolle2, Chromecast with Google TV only supports one Chromecast Voice Remote at a time. You may try the suggestions provided by our Product Expert or you can try to buy a Bluetooth remote and pair it to your Chromecast with Google TV.

 

Thanks,
