I want to be able to stop and/or start a video on my mac from a remote control or my phone. Does this seem like the answer? Switch

I have never used that but I do use the Apple Remote (that used to ship in the box with a new Mac), Apple Siri Remote that adds voice control.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

Looks like the remotes now are only for Apple TV. If I decide to do it, I will try to pair my iPhone to my Mac.
