Yes—the Google TV Streamer Voice Remote works with Chromecast with Google TV. Google lists both devices as compatible. However, the remote’s customizable button and Find My Remote feature are available only when it is used with Google TV Streamer, so cross-compatibility does not give Chromecast owners those features.

Which remote works with each device?

What changes between the two remotes?

The Streamer remote adds a customizable button and Find My Remote. Google’s comparison identifies those as Google TV Streamer features, not Chromecast with Google TV features. If you use the Streamer remote with a Chromecast, you can control the streaming device, but those Streamer-specific conveniences do not become available on the Chromecast.

For initial Google TV Streamer setup, Google says the remote normally pairs automatically. If the screen asks you to pair it, hold Back and Home until the remote’s light pulses. See Google’s replacement Voice Remote setup instructions and Google TV Streamer setup instructions.

Set up TV, receiver, or soundbar controls separately

Pairing the remote with a Chromecast or Streamer does not by itself establish that its TV or audio controls are configured. Use the on-screen setup to configure volume, power, or input control for a TV, receiver, or soundbar, then check the results. Google’s remote setup guidance covers these controls; it does not guarantee compatibility with every TV or audio model.

Where to get a replacement

Google identifies Google Store as a purchase route for replacement remotes. The cited setup documentation does not establish current price or regional stock, so check the store for availability where you live. If choosing the Google TV Streamer Voice Remote for a Chromecast, keep in mind that its customizable button and Find My Remote feature require Google TV Streamer.
