Expert Features

• One Home Screen for Your Streaming Services : Google TV brings movies and shows from supported services into one interface and builds personalized recommendations around viewing interests, reducing the need to jump between apps just to decide what to watch.
• Noticeably Faster Than Chromecast with Google TV : Google states that the Streamer uses a 22% faster processor than Chromecast with Google TV (4K), helping menus respond faster and making app switching feel smoother.
• Much More Room for Apps : The move to 32GB storage and 4GB RAM gives the Streamer considerably more breathing room than the older Chromecast with Google TV platform, which had 8GB storage and 2GB RAM. That means more installed apps and less pressure on system resources.
• Real 4K HDR Entertainment : Support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG lets compatible TVs and content deliver higher dynamic range, deeper contrast, and richer highlights at up to 4K HDR 60fps.
• Native Dolby Atmos Support : Unlike relying only on basic audio passthrough, Google lists Dolby Atmos support directly on the Streamer, allowing compatible audio systems to produce a more immersive three-dimensional sound field.
• Built-In Gigabit Ethernet : A physical 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet port lets you wire the streamer directly to the router when stable bandwidth matters more than wireless convenience—especially useful for high-bitrate 4K streaming.
• A Streaming Box That Also Works as a Smart-Home Hub : The Google TV Streamer includes Matter hub functionality and a Thread border router, allowing compatible smart-home devices to connect through the Google Home ecosystem without requiring the TV streamer to be only an entertainment device.
• Smart-Home Control Without Leaving the Movie : The on-screen Home Panel lets you access compatible lights, cameras, thermostats, and other Google Home devices directly from the TV interface instead of constantly reaching for your phone.
• Customizable Remote Shortcut : The Voice Remote includes a programmable button that can be assigned to launch a favorite app, open the smart-home panel, or switch TV inputs, turning a normally fixed remote key into something genuinely useful for your setup.
• Find My Remote : Press the button on the back of the Streamer—or ask Google—to make the remote ring, fixing one of the most annoying everyday problems with streaming boxes.
• Voice Search + Gemini for TV : Voice control can search for entertainment without typing, and Google’s current software adds Gemini for TV for conversational discovery and questions. Language, account, and regional availability may vary.
• Built-In Casting : Compatible content from a phone, tablet, or laptop can be cast directly to the television, so the Streamer also works as a bridge between personal devices and the big screen.
• Google Photos on the Big Screen : Your Google Photos library can be displayed as a TV slideshow, turning the connected television into a large digital photo display when you are not actively streaming.
• Designed to Live in Sight : Unlike a dongle hidden behind the television, the Streamer uses a clean low-profile tabletop form and this exact Amazon listing is the Porcelain version, designed to sit visibly with the rest of the entertainment setup. The enclosure also uses at least 65% recycled plastic.
