Google, like everyone else, realises that remotes get lost all the time. In the Google Home app, you can ping your Google TV remote to make a sound so you can find it when you're looking under the wrong couch cushion; here's how.

Google has made some key changes to the way users interact with Google TV in the new Google TV Streamer. One of the most noticeable changes, aside from the greater presence of the hardware, is the new voice remote. The remote is slightly larger and swaps out a few buttons, but essentially unchanged. However, it can now play a ringtone when lost.

With the launch of the Google TV Streamer came a new feature baked into the Google Home app. Now, users can find that Google TV Voice Remote with a couple of taps. The remote will then begin playing a sound, similar to how other devices play a sound when being located in the Find My Device app.

1.In the Google Home app, find and tap the Google TV Streamer.
2.Hit the settings cog in the top corner.
3.Tap Find my remote.
4.Hit Play sound.

What devices can be found this way?

The Google TV Streamer doesn’t get this feature as an exclusive option. Instead one other device is able to take advantage – the Onn Pro Google TV streamer.

Both Google TV devices will display a “Find my remote” option in the Google Home app, and both remotes can be located this way. It’s likely that new dedicated Google TV streamers will incorporate this feature as it’s been added in Android 14, though standalone devices like TVs and projectors that run Google Home might not utilize it.
