TL;DR

  • The Google TV team plans to update the remote experience for faster navigation.
  • The company will introduce pointer remote support.
  • This feature will allow you to use your TV remote like a mouse.

Today is the first day of Google I/O 2026, and that means we’re getting a flurry of announcements. Although I/O is a conference meant for developers, there’s still plenty of news that relates to the average user. For example, you’ll soon be able to use a pointer remote to move through Google TV in a new way.
