Stadia Controller doesn't stay linked to Chromecast with Google tv

Jump to Best Response

I have the Stadia app on the 'Chromecast with Google tv' and I can pair and play with the stadia controller just fine.

However, when I exit the app using the 'Exit Stadia' option (NOT unlink and turn off controller)..

The controller immediately turns off. When starting the app again, the controller is no longer linked and has to be paired again.

Is this intended?

If so, this is aweful user experience, seems bizarre that moving to the new Chromecast is a worse experience.

If the controller is supposed to stay paired, any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi @Rovi 

I believe that what you have described is intended as I have the same experience when playing on Google TV.  You should make sure to leave feedback directly through the app on your phone to let them know your thoughts on this topic. 

 

Sorry again

It behaves this way for me as well, but I've noticed the last controller to connect remembers the device and reconnects when I'm in the Stadia app on Google TV.
