Did you know that there are two hidden screens that you can access on your Roku device? They allow you change settings like your lost remote tone, how ads are displayed and more! More Roku tips and tricks:
Whether you’ve owned a Roku device for two days or two years, we're willing to bet you aren’t taking advantage of everything it can do. Not only does the popular platform offer a gateway to pretty much every streaming service under the sun, including Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu, but its own Roku Channel is growing as the company continues bringing in content and even dabbles in original programming as well.
Recommended Videos Difficulty Easy Duration 5 minutes What You Need Re-order your channelsIf you didn’t know, there's no reason you have to keep the Roku home screen the way it was when you pulled it out of the box and fired it up. By default, Roku has channels you might never use right up top and ones you use all the time several clicks down. Save yourself some clicks by making the channels you use the most often right at the top — you can do this any time you want, and it’s really easy.
Change the Roku OS themeWith your home screen and channels cleaned up, we can also go to the next step and change the theme or overall look of the home screen. To do this, click Settings > Themes and try one of the free themes available. This is fun to do around holidays when Roku offers some seasonal themes to match the occasion.
Step 3: You’ll need to know the code for the channel you want. Say you want to add Twitch. You would type in"TwitchTV." To do it, just click the Media button in the Roku app and select the music, video, or photos you want to cast to the Roku and continue watching from your TV. From compatible Android and Windows devices, you'll need to follow the instructions on how to mirror the device. At the end of the process, you choose the Roku device as the mirroring device. As long as you’re on the same network, you should have no problem.
Get the Roku app! If you don’t have the Roku app, then you are missing out on a ton of legit helpful and fun stuff your Roku can do. Available for free on iOS and Android devices, the official Roku app gives you a wealth of options and features including full remote control of any Roku in your home; the ability to browse, add and delete channels from your account; and the ability to stream music, videos, and photos located on your device.
Use the app as a remoteThe Roku remote is an amazing piece of hardware. But, first of all, if you lose your remote, you can use the app's remote finder to locate it — it will send an audible beep to the remote to lead you to it. But if you don’t have Roku’s remote finder, you can always use the app as your remote, which many people prefer.
Alternatively, some Roku remote controls come with a headphone jack, letting you use Private Listening without the need for a phone at all. Protect your Roku from unauthorized purchasesWhile the Roku doesn't have universal parental controls, users do have the ability to restrict specific actions using a four-digit PIN code. After logging into the user account on the Roku site, a custom four-digit PIN can be selected within the menu.
