Can you use a controller on a smart TV?

Yes, you can use a controller on many smart TVs! Most modern smart TVs, especially those running Android TV or other gaming-compatible operating systems, support Bluetooth controllers. This allows you to connect a variety of controllers, such as Xbox or PlayStation controllers, to navigate your TV or play games.

To connect a controller to your smart TV:

  1. Turn on the Bluetooth on your TV (usually in the settings menu).
  2. Put the controller in pairing mode (usually by holding the Bluetooth or sync button on the controller).
  3. Search for available devices from the TV’s Bluetooth settings and select the controller once it appears.
  4. Once paired, you can use the controller to navigate your TV’s interface, play games, or even control apps that support gamepad input.

Many streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and gaming apps like Stadia or Xbox Cloud Gaming also support controllers, making it a great way to enjoy a more immersive experience.
