Use Stadia gamepad to control Google Tv on new Chromecast

Jump to Best Response

I have a new Chromecast and also Stadia controller. The gamepad works in the Stadia app, but nowhere else. Can a Stadia controller not be used as a Chromecast remote and/or to control games installed on the Google TV system? Very strange if so.

This is a current limitation right now so it is working as designed. What gets me more is the toast message you get after closing the Stadia app that the controller can't be used outside of the app; that almost makes it sound like it may be enabled someday.

Make sure to send feedback in the Stadia mobile or web app. You can also ask your Google TV (with the included remote) to send feedback, then have to talk to the computer. It's clunky but technically works so our robot overlords know what we want improved. Cheers
