Turning the Google TV off when not in use will prevent the TV components from being overloaded. If you have a remote, you can turn off your Google TV by pressing the power button. What if the Google TV remote has been lost or dysfunctional? In that case, you should rely on other methods. This guide explains all possible ways to power off the Google Smart TV, Chromecast with Google TV, and Google TV Streamer.
Turn Off Google TV using the TV Power Button
If you use a Google Smart TV, you can turn it off with the TV’s power button. Locate the physical power button on your TV’s back panel or underneath the TV logo. Once identified, press and hold the Power key to turn off your Google Smart TV or non-smart TV to which you have connected a Google TV Streamer or Chromecast with Google TV.
Switch Off Google TV using the Google TV app
Are you looking for a smart way to turn off your Google TV? The remote app can help. Google TV is a standalone remote application for Smart TVs and streaming devices powered by Google OS. You can use this application to put your Google TV into standby mode. To do so, connect your Google TV to the same wireless network as your iPhone or Android.
Run the Google TV app, sign in to your Google account, and click Devices. Select your Google TV to pair it with the app. Once paired, the remote control will appear. Press the Power button in the app to switch off the Google TV.
Power Off Google TV Using HDMI CEC
If your gaming console is connected to your Google TV, you can turn it off using the HDMI CEC feature. To make it work, go to Settings on your Google TV → Display and sound → HDMI CEC → Enable HDMI-CEC → Toggle ON.
Similarly, enable CEC Device Control on your console settings. Doing so will make your Google TV power sync with your console. From now on, if you switch off the gaming console, it will also turn off the Google TV.
Switch Off Google TV via Voice Commands
If you link Google Nest or Home speaker to your Google TV, you can power off the TV using voice commands. You only need to enable Voice Assistant settings on your Google TV. Also, connect your TV to the same WiFi as your smart speaker. Once done, link your smart speaker to your TV using the Google Home app.
After linking, go near the smart speaker and say the voice command, “Hey Google, turn off <TV name>.”
