You might also need to keep the Chromecast plugged into the wall via the provided wall adapter if your TV doesn’t keep the USB port powered on when the TV is powered off if you want to take full advantage of HDMI-CEC and allow power on and off controls via the Chromecast dongle. You can reference How-To-Geek if you need help finding this setting on your TV. Different manufacturers have different branding for HDMI-CEC, but it was in the ‘General Settings’ under ‘External Device Manager’ on my Samsung TV. Since most TVs will ship with this HDMI-CEC disabled, you will need to enable this feature to use your TV remote or home theater remote with Chromecast. You Need to Enable This Feature On Your TV It has been around since 2008 and we’ve written about how this tech allows your Google Assistant to turn on the TV and play your favorite show with a simple, “Hey Google, play Stranger Things on the Living Room TV.” HDMI-CEC is also the reason your Chromecast can automatically switch inputs when you start casting. The technology that makes this possible behind the scenes is called HDMI-CEC, or HDMI Consumer Electronic Controls, and is built into most modern TVs. The good news? You can do this right now with the remote that came with your TV. Unlike other streaming consoles – like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV – Chromecast does not come with a remote, so you are out of luck if your phone is in the other room charging and you just want to quickly Play/Pause or exit out of a casting session. The simplicity of Google’s Chromecast is part of the reason so many people have decided to make it part of their home tech. You can definitely still follow the steps below to use your TV remote for some basic casting controls but we would highly recommend picking up this new device if you are interested in having a remote with your Chromecast. In addition to a physical remote, this new device includes the Google TV interface that you can navigate with the remote to find the content you want to watch instead of casting from specific apps on your phone.

UPDATE – : With the release of the new Chromecast with Google TV, you can now have a fully-featured remote that will do way more than the remote that came with your TV.
