You can configure your Chromecast Voice Remote to control devices like your TV, receiver or soundbar by setting up the volume, power and input buttons.

By offering the same remote as the Chromecast with Google 4K, the HD model brings a whole different level of functionality to its inexpensive streaming device. Not only did it work seamlessly to control my 2020 Samsung TV's power, volume and inputs, but it also comes with a button to access the Google Assistant.

The remote and the Chromecast communicate with each other via Bluetooth.

The remote has both HDMI-CEC and IR, so you can control your TV's power, volume as well as input mode in case you need to switch over to a game console or a cable box for example.

If your device comes with a remote, it means that you have the latest generation of Chromecast. Also for battery life, we expect 6+ months with normal use. Please give these steps a try: Try to check if there are stuck buttons on the remote.

TLDR The Chromecast with Google TV offers a user-friendly interface and convenient features, but it has some limitations such as inconsistent playback controls and lack of support for certain audio and visual formats.

Unlike Bluetooth setup, Chromecast built-in speakers work over WiFi so you can connect more than one device to your speakers at a time and control what's playing from anywhere in the house.

Replacement Voice Remotes are available for purchase on the Google Store.
