Microphone button not working with apps

[Wam1]

It's cool being able to use Google Assistant on this but it's frustrating because you can't just use the mic button to do a voice search within individual apps. Some apps are designed where you can just press the mic button within the app and it works but most don't so when you press that button it just searches everything again and takes you out of the app. The Roku remote doesn't do this and let's you search within pretty much every app.

Hi @Wam1!

Thanks for bringing your concern to our attention and posting it in the community. I'm really sorry to hear about the inconvenience you're experiencing with the Google Assistant when controlling or accessing third-party apps.

Let me help you with that, but first, I need to confirm some extra details.

• What is the make and model of your mobile device?
• Do you have any existing Google Home or Nest products on your account?
• Are you getting any error messages?

In the meantime, you may find this article useful: Google Account Linking with third-party apps & services

Let me know how this goes, and once I have this information, we'll find a resolution together.

Regards,

Catheryn.
