So whatever it is that caused you to want this option, then read this short tutorial to the end where we’ll teach you how to use Google TV as Chromecast remote easily on any smartphone (Android/iOS).

But it’s worth noting that there are two approaches to achieving this. The first being through Google TV application or the alternative, Remote Android TV.

First approach: Google TV

Google TV

In order to achieve this, you need to firsts download the Android TV remote application on your smartphone (Note: available on both Android and iOS). If you already did that, the next thing is to launch the application and then grant it access to your network as well as agreeing to the service’s terms of service an other thing it requests.

Afterwards, the next thing you should see is a list of available devices on your network which you can control. The next thing to do is to tap on your Chromecast with Google TV.

With that, there will be a pop up on the Google TV application which you will enter into your phone and then click on the Pair button.

Afterwards, the remote gets connected and the interface will take on your smartphone’s display. Then you can tap on the D-pad which allows you to navigate the Google TV application interface.

Available keys include Home, Back, Play/Pause buttons all which can be used to control the media playback as if you’re using the physical remote control which comes packaged with the Chromecast hardware out of the box.

There is in fact a mic button that acts like the Google Assistant button so you can speak voice queries. Then there is the remote keyboard with which you can type in search query or maybe to enter your log-in credentials into services you’ve subscribed to.

There is also the ability to use your phone’s volume rockers to control the volume of your Chromecast all based on the Google TV application.
