Google Assistant makes controlling your Chromecast effortless right from your phone. While the Google Home app offers deeper management and settings, voice commands provide quick access for playback and more.
Android Police recently showcased this handy feature: just activate Google Assistant and issue a voice command like “Play Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles” or “Play MakeUseOf videos.”
If you have multiple Chromecast-enabled devices, specify the target: “Play MakeUseOf videos in the TV room.”
Key Google voice commands for Chromecast and YouTube include:
Manage playback easily with commands like “Pause,” “Resume,” “Skip,” and “Stop.”
This capability appears to be rolling out gradually to Android users, with possible specific requirements. Test it out on your setup.
