Yes. You can press and hold the YouTube button to reconfigure it to other YouTube apps, such as YouTube TV, YouTube Music, or YouTube Kids. You can also ask the Assistant to play live content. On the Chromecast Voice Remote, press and hold the Google Assistant button and say “Play ”. For example, you can say “Play ESPN”. Note: This feature is currently available in the US only.
