The Google TV Streamer has added a feature that makes it easy to find a lost remote control. Here’s how to use it.
One of the more simple — if important — new features of the Google TV Streamer is the addition of a tiny speaker in the new microphone that enables it to chirp if it becomes lost. Google is hardly the first to do this, but it’s a welcome addition.
There are a few ways to trigger the remote control to start emitting a sound, as we noted in our Google TV Streamer review, and we’ll walk through them. But you really only need the last one.Use your voice to trigger Find My Remote
If you have a device that’s connected to the same network as your Google TV Streamer — a phone, a tablet, or one of Google’s smart displays — that also has access to Google Assistant, then you should be good to go. It’s this simple:
Say « Hey, Google — find my remote control.
