Using Voice Commands with your Xumo Stream Box Voice Remote

  • Updated

Find your favorite entertainment simply by using your voice. Your Xumo Stream Box makes it easy to search across all your apps at once using the Voice Control button on your remote.

Press and hold the Voice Control button while you speak, then release when you finish. Your device will search for movies, shows, actors, genres, sports teams and more. You can even use your voice to control settings like your sleep timer.

Tips for better voice search

To get the best results, speak clearly and hold the Voice Control button down while talking. Release the button when you finish speaking.

Your Xumo Stream Box will search across hundreds of apps to find what you're looking for. If your search doesn't find what you want, try saying it a different or more specific way. For example, instead of saying "that space movie," try the movie title or actor's name.
