Almost every Made by Google product released in recent years includes a way to invoke the Google Assistant, and the Stadia Controller is no different. The Stadia Controller Google Assistant button has suddenly become much more useful as you can now use it While playing your games
Since its launch, the Stadia Controller Google Assistant button was extremely progressive, only used to launch games from the Stadia home screen, but anyone who has seen Stadia’s debut at GDC 2019 knew that Google had much more ambitions Great for the Wizard in games. In that original demo, it was suggested that the Google Assistant could be used to do amazing things, like getting a video tutorial on how to complete a certain part of the game.
While we may still have to wait before the Google Assistant can guide us through the Tomb Raider puzzles, starting this week we are now one step closer to that future. As pointed out Android PoliceYou can now use the Google Assistant button to access the full Assistant experience while playing Chromecast: Android and Stadia desktop players will still have to wait.
When you press the button, a sleek new overlay appears with the usual four-color Wizard logo and “Hello, how can I help?” Quick. From there, you can simply voice your request to the Assistant, with normal queries such as general questions and smart home controls that work similar to a smart speaker, though you can’t currently ask to play things like music or videos.
All of this is possible because the Google Stadia Controller has a built-in microphone at the bottom, which is used only when the Google Assistant has been invoked. As explained in a Google support document, the controller light will flash to alert you when the microphone is on and listening. And of course, before the Assistant button works, you must enable Stadia Google Assistant support in the app settings.
