Virtual remote control among digital assistant devices is provided. A first computing device detects a second computing device and determines a capability of the second computing device. The first computing device generates a prompt indicating that the first computing device is capable to control the second computing device. The first computing device receives, responsive to the prompt, an instruction to control the second computing device. The first computing device establishes a communication channel with the second computing device. The first computing device invokes a virtual controller on the first computing device. The virtual controller forwards queries received by the first computing device to the second computing device via the communication channel to control the second computing device.
