HP ENVY LAPTOP 17
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I stream a lot of content on my laptop from Netflix, Prime Video, Now TV, Youtube and other streaming services.

 

I was wondering if there was a remote control (not a mouse) for the laptop that will let me stop, start programmes, change channels or video content, volume up, and down?  I would like to do what I've just mentioned without having to get out of bed constantly on a night time.

 

Kind Regards

Hi,

You should be able to purchase a remote for the PC for the basic functions you mention and even for much more. Some examples

You could also try apps and use your smartphone as a remote control.

Example:

Hope it helps,

David
