For a variety of reasons, if you picked up a new Chromecast with Google TV you may have skipped out on setting up the TV controls during your initial out of box experience. I know I did initially (we unboxed and set up on camera, so I bypassed that part) and had to figure out how to go back and get our office TV under the control of that sweet Chromecast remote that came in the box. Rest assured, the process is simple once you know where to look. Let's go over it, shall we?

Glad you took the time to show how this is done. Very much appreciated!
Bro , I started buying a bunch of google products then decide to see if there was any youtube channel that focused on just that. I found you guys !
Liked and Subbed !
R that ucking with u 2? I know where that live.??? Think
You are awesome Rob! I had it for couple of months but never can get power and volume to work. Now it works perfectly!! Thank you.
Thank you. Exactly what I'm looking for. Now I can stop wasting my youth finding all the remotes :))
Good to see things are not broken. Like when I click on tv it just takes me back over and over. So sick of everything being broke
Same for me
Same for me :(
Do you manage to solve? Here lg TV works only Power button and output volume wont work...
Same 😡

What if our tv brand is not shown from those tv brands selection?
Year 2024 nothing your still screwed. (I use a projector) 😂
You click TV and get a list of brands. Mine goes back to the previous screen to choose TV again.
Same
Do you solved?
If you factory reset your Chromecast it should be fixed. I had the same issue and this resolved it.
It would be good if the directional buttons also could work with IR in different sources so then it truly would be the only remote you neeed.
Is there a way to get the remote to control the 'menu' button to display settings? I want to be able to adjust brightness and things!
I hope they improve the support over the buttons. The remotes will have problems with TVs with an input screen as the button will only load the screens and work as scroll. The remote can't actually select the sought after input.
Can you control more than "power, volume and input" on your tv? Can you switch "normal" television channels?
I just discovered that I can at least pause TH-cam videos by tapping the button in the middle of the wheel on the remote.
Bonus: if your Chromecast is powered independently from the TV, you can use the assistant button even when the TV is turned off. Just give the command and the TV will automatically go to what you want to watch.
it wont show the tv brands it just kicks me out

Hello, quick question, what can I do if the tv manufacturer list doesn't appear when I try to " add device" (to set up remote buttons)? Please help
Great video.can we change tv channels using google remote?
I click on TV and it just takes me back to the add device option, doesnt pull up a list of tv brands
Alba TV not listed? What do you do if its not listed?
Thank you!
Thank you for your tutorial.
You just solved the last bugaboo I had with this device - being able to rely on its remote for everything associated with the hardware. I no longer need to use my Logitech remote to turn things on and off. So I thank you. More importantly this is maybe the third or fourth video I've seen of yours and I really appreciate your no nonsense, straightforward, clear and unencumbered information. No backstory or long lead-ins or comparisons just what I need to know and why. So thank you again.
is there a way to change the channels as well by the chromecast remote ?
or just volume up& down
Just the volume, power and inputs.
Yeah that sucks! Then we have to use the other remote anyway..
I have a hisense A6 series. When i click on "add new" and then click on "TV" nothing happens, no tv brands show up. What can I do? I disabled CEC both on tv and Chromecast.
thanks, this helped a lot.
Extremely helpful, thanks for this!
Thanks it really worked
Got it up thanks!
Someone please explain how having the ability to change inputs is useful if you can’t use the remote to change channels when the input is on TV?
Exactly. Its USELESS
what about a tv that isnt on the list like a 3rd party way or maybe using a projector instead
This is exactly what i wanted to know, clear and concise thank you!
I've found that using the Chromecast remote to control my TV volume isn't as nice I'd imagined it would be. In particular, it makes casting a second-class experience, as I can't control the volume from my phone. It's especially bad when using the new Chromecast in an audio group. So I prefer setting Volume control to Chromecast volume, which enables the Chromecast's internal volume control, just like how Chromecast devices have always worked.
Piry not all TVs are aupported. I have a Blaupunkt Tv that isnt listed in yhe Chromecast. The popular workaround of selected a Bush TV didnt work either. No CEC or IR blaster for me.
What if our tv brand is not shown from those tv brands selection? our tv is ace and there's no ace tv on the selection, what should i choose?
How do you solve a captcha when adding a new account? The remote doesn't work.
I get to the TV menu and it never shows the brands, just goes back to "add device". Is this still supposed to be working?
My TV Support CEC but it can use only Power Button on Chromecast Remote Control. How to fix it.
Any particular reason to go IR instead of CEC?
Hello i have a question i can't find my tv brand in that list
thank you for clear information. How can I copy a letter, or link with google tv remote?
Thanks and nice video; I noticed that when I shutdown my tv with the power button of the chromecast, the chromecast still powered on. Any setting to shutdown both at the same time? Many thanks...
I have reset my remote, held down the home while putting in the batteries. And pushed the button on the device to pair. My remote won’t pair and the light on the remote stays in the pulsing mode FOREVER!!!!!! Ahhhhh
Oh. And I also held down the back and home at the same time. It still won’t pair and the light won’t turn off on the remote. Any ideas?
Very usefull information, but is the input button on the remote working to switch back to the antena input for DVBT2 channel? Because i didn't see input antenna option in this video. Greetings from Indonesia. Thx
My tv isn’t in the list..bauhn tv .. what should I do ? Thanks
Can 8 use the stadia for this?
Does it support Haier?
Are Vestel (Turkish brand) in this list?
There's no settings in library, when I select it!
What do I do when the buttons aren’t working?
Is it also possible to control the Android TV OS inside your smart TV? I have a 2016 Sony with Android TV and my remote has some problems with going up and left. Would love to replace the remote with a Chromecast remote.
When I click select device and then choose TV it doesn't open a menu to pick a brand / device.
Somehow my TV remote can control the Chromecast, though, just not the other way round. Anyone got a fix?
Same. Do you solved?
Anyone else finding the remote jittery? Like sometimes it won't do anything after a click and other times it'll act as if you've clicked it loads of times and basically scroll even though you just clicked it once?
ok, nice. But I still do not understand why the remote control that comes with Chromecast TV, works fine with Netflix & Amazon but refuses to work with YT, when I start YT-videos from my Chromebook??? 🙁
Is it an infra red or a Bluetooth remote? Do you need straight line of sight? I'm suffering from my T. remote so I am looking for Bluetooth remote
Hi, can I use this to control my Sony x90j? Do I need to buy anything else either from the remote? Does it require the Chromecast even tho I have android tv in the Sony tv?
Thanks for sharing !
Assuming you have an Tv app installed that after getting in you need to work with 1-9 digit to get into some channels - how would you do it? can you do it from the google controller or you suggest to work the the CEC feature and the default controller comes with the TV brand?
Hey I have a TCL Roku tv I just got the Google tv I love it but unfortunately I can't use the left, right, up and down controls on the remote on my TV home screen. When I power on my tv I then have to go left to be able to access the google tv input to access google tv, I also cannot scroll through inputs as you can in the video. I'm wondering if this is just my tv or am I missing a step and there is a way to control this?
This video was so helpful to me! I recently just got this 2wks ago. Went from using 2 remotes….to following your steps….now I only use ONE remote!!!! Thanks so much! I & my (4) TV’s thank you! 😁
how the heck do you open the battery compartment. Gwad sake. Stuck and wont open.
Thanks for the video, switched from CEC to IR. I noticed you also had a chromecast ultra plugged into the same tv. When I do this the chromecast with google tv flickers so I can't keep the ultra plugged in. Do you experience the same thing?
Nice! Thanks for the info!
I got a new remote and paired it to the Chromecast but I’m getting none of those prompts to pair my remote to the TV. I basically get a spinning circle then it says try again. Any idea how to fix that?
Same here. Hisense tv. When i clixk on the "add new device" then click on "TV" nothing happens.
@@GothAudiophiledo you solved? I have the same issue
I accidentally deleted my remote so can you please make a tutorial on how to fix that :)
Thanks, dude! I've been debating whether to get the Chromecast and I decided not to because we didn't want to use three remotes! Now we don't have to worry about that. 😁👍
😁😁😁👍👍👍.. happy holidays
Good to know!
Thanks for this tip. My lone issue with my new TV is that I'm forced to use its remote for input switching, but now I can stick to just the Chromecast remote.
I cant change the input. I can open it, but not move the pointer so I can select a different one. Has anyone Else had that problem and if so did you manage to fix it?
Just keep pressing the input button until the input you want is highlighted.
Thank god for this video! I was a little peeved when I thought the input button on my remote was pretty much never gonna be used. Now I never have to touch my Samsung remote again! Thank you!
Thanks! Do you by any chance know why my Samsung blue menu bare don't disappear by itself like it does on your TV? Is this customizable?
I finally found out a way to deactivate the the smart hub menu at startup in the settings menu
Google TV is so much better than anything else
Can you help me ?
I try to reset a few times already but the problem still exists.
When i set up remote buttons and add new device and select any options, it always show "Something Went Wrong" and Try again. I cannot choose anything.
Now, I cannot use my Google Remote to control the volume, power button and input button.
I try to search on Google but no results.
Please help.
I don't get it.. The setup takes you through all this, honestly what purpose does this video serve? This video was not helpful and was hoping it would help for people who have older tv's.. I assume this is an old video. As there is a 3rd option than CEC... but its not selectable..
What if my TV is unsupported?
(None of the 15 tries worked.)
Is there any hack to copy the power on signal from the original TV remote?
if i have chinese cheap no name tv that not in the list can i learn from the original remote control directly to the google remote¿
Can you please share with us the entire list of TVs available? That would be really helpful, and I can't find it anywhere on the internet.
I have no idea who at Google designed this remote but they need to be fired. This looks and feels like a toy that a woman would use. What a horrible design. It's like trying to hold an ice cube between two fingers. Now I've got to find a way to make it so it doesn't slip out of my hands.
You forgot how to explain if you press forget remote and then how to turn it back on. (Pairing the remote)
My remote doesn't have control of the TV either the remote that came with the TV do you know how to solved the problem?
How to FIX Google Search Button not working on the Google TV Remote. I only get a green dot at the top right on the TV
My hisense TV opens up the input list but doesnt let me scroll using remove arrows why?
So you only watch the one tv channel, because there was no channel up/down mentioned.
Way too fast. Starts in the middle. No one can follow this. Slow down and do things step by step.
Remote won't come on! Never did. Light comes on when i put batteries in then it does nothing. I can't even set the thing up smh
Right there are 5 peaple in this house. Some one is controlling all the tv,s in the house. How can I stop this
can i contol the hako pro box with this remote its better than the basic google tv remote
My stupid chromecast constantly disconnects and can't find tv.
Its sad you canot add 2 devices and change between controlling both
Hello, thank you for the quick video tutorial. I added the remote (went through all those steps) but noticed that the mute-button doesn’t work. Example: watching TH-cam TV and need to mute the audio and nothing happens 🤷♀️
I didn't even realize there was a volume control. Duh! My menu appearance was a little different, but I was able to figure it out. I also found that I can pause TH-cam videos by tapping the button in the middle of the wheel at the top of the remote. Cool!
My remote doesn’t work with my tv, any tips?
With Apple-TV, this works with no set-up
i started to write a constructive note for others to read.....but then my Google web browser crashed.....lost all the comments. 1. remote too small for big hands. 2. Volume buttons so tiny and small....hard to adjust. 3. Remote will NOT sync with my Bose sound bar. 4 Wheel at the top of the remote is erratic when scrolling. And you have to be very precise when going up, down, left, right...or you end up in another app or row in Google TV. 4. Remote turns the TV off, but Google TV stays on. From where i was researching, you have to literally have to delete your Google account for a complete sign out. 5. If you have to reset your Chromecast...….you have to re-input all the data again...WTF....including all the logins for MAX, DIsney+ , and any other premium channels. 6. And you wasted space to include buttons on the remote for TH-cam and Netflix...maybe those could have been the volume buttons. But Google owns TH-cam....so go figure. I'm done ranting.......probably best I send this to Google instead of TH-cam......oops, Google owns the site I'm typing on........
I have a Panasonic tv and Samsung soundbar, I can turn on/off individually but at the end power bottom can be program to only turn on/off tv or soundbar but not both! Is there a way for me to choose both devices when setting the power bottom? I have Auto(CEC), TV(CEC), Chromecast, Samsung Soundbar (IR), and Panasonic (IR). I only can pick one!!! No problem doing that with Amazon fire stick!!!
great job sir thank u ❤
So my remote was working for volume & on/off until today . I tried the way you showed but the volume not changing or the off button or the input. My app icons looks a bit different. Could it be a chromcast auto update screwed it up?
Never mind, even though the remote works for viewing it needed new batteries for the vol/ on-off functions. Thx
This helped a lot. After LG flat panel died, I replaced with Hisense panel and a new Denon AVR. Unfortunately the 9 codes for the Denon volume control did not work. I tried the Auto CEC and sure enough I can now control the volume on the Denon AVR. Wife is loving having only one remote.
Nice! thanks for the video.. I bought Google TV for this biggest reason. I wish Firestick tv controller has the capability, amongst other things.
Hi, I have this device, I really like it, but I noticed that there is a clicking sound when pressing the down portion of the directional pad on the remote.(Clicking on the remote not on the TV) Beyond that, the device is very solid, but I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how I can fix that clicking sound on the directional pad. Thanks for your time.
If you press and hold the TH-cam button on the remote you can set up that button to default to either TH-cam or TH-cam TV when it is pressed. The factory default is TH-cam. I switched mine to TH-cam tv. This is really useful if you're using chromecast mainly for TH-cam tv.
I have a Westinghouse and went through the setup just like you showed and it refuses to work.
Use samsung as your brand
@@Brian-xi3kz Thanks. It worked. I figured there had to be a way since I've been able to setup other remotes with that TV.
Many thanks for this video - most useful. I didn't notice the two little buttons on the right of my Chromecast remote - duh! Your tutorial at 1:47 showed me the buttons.
