Locate the intended control
Google identifies the Streamer Voice Remote’s customisable control with a star symbol. Check the actual handset before applying these instructions; a similarly shaped remote can have different buttons or feature support. Decide the task you want to make easier, such as opening an installed application or the supported home panel. A clear purpose helps prevent a shortcut from unexpectedly changing the television’s input.
Choose a documented shortcut type
The manufacturer documents choices for an application, Google Home and display inputs. Select the type you want through the supported setup interface and wait for its confirmation. An application shortcut opens software; it does not pay an app fee or create a service membership. If the intended app is not offered, identify its installation and platform availability rather than inventing a download code to populate the list.
Test the result from a normal screen
Return to ordinary navigation and press the control once. Check whether it opens the expected application, panel or input interface. If another household member uses the remote, explain the chosen action so it is not mistaken for a fixed manufacturer button. Keep the original navigation route available while testing, rather than making one custom shortcut the only known way to reach an important setting.
Edit through the matching controls
Google documents editing an existing shortcut and a particular settings route when the original choice was display-input control. Use the route applicable to that current state. A short or long press can perform different jobs, so read the manufacturer’s instructions before repeated button experiments. Report the remote type, current shortcut and observed result if the configured action is not doing what you intended.
Questions, answered
Does an app shortcut include that app’s paid membership?
It is a navigation shortcut. Installation, any software charge and the account needed for content are separate questions from which application the button opens.
