You can also cast music, photos, and videos that are stored on your phone to your Roku. So if you’re watching something on your phone from Netflix or YouTube, click the little TV icon, and as long as you are on the same network as your Roku, you can cast the content to the Roku and continue watching from your TV. While Roku isn’t a full-on Chromecast-capable device, you can cast content to it from the YouTube and Netflix apps. Click Yes you want it anyway, and your Roku will update with that channel on it. Step 3: You’ll need to know the code for the channel you want. Step 2: When you get to your account’s homepage, click on Add channel with a code (see the image above). Step 1: Go to your Roku account using a web browser. Keep in mind, these are not official channels, and they don’t necessarily abide by Roku’s terms and conditions, so they aren’t easy to get – that’s on purpose. If you still want to install beta channels to your Roku, it's pretty easy. And you can no longer have "unpublished" channels accessible via a private access code. Beta channels are now limited to 120 days in duration and up to 20 users at a time. However, Roku still has a beta channel program, but it's actually being used as a way for publishers to run a true beta program and not so much as a workaround for porn, piracy, or other content that the advertising side of the shop may find undesirable. As of early 2022, Roku put an end to this practice.
You may have heard of the ability to add so-called "private channels" for unofficial and unregulated channels on Roku devices. If you dig the crackling fireplace look, that’s available, among a ton of other cool options. Click Settings > Screensaver to have a look at what’s pre-installed, or go to the screensaver channel and look at all the options there. Change the Roku screensaverĪnd as long as we’re changing the home screen, we can change the screensaver, too. This is fun to do around holidays when Roku offers some seasonal themes to match the occasion. To do this, click Settings > Themes and try one of the free themes available. With 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. Step 4: To delete menu items, click Settings > Home screen, then select Hide on anything you don’t want to see. Step 3: Once canceled, you will see Remove app as an option, and you can click that. If that’s the case, you will need to click Manage subscription, then Cancel subscription. Step 2: If that isn’t an option, it may be because you have a subscription to that service. Step 1: To delete apps, highlight the app, press the Star key, and then select Remove app. When you’re done, you’ll have a cleaner home screen with everything you want and nothing you don’t. You can delete the channels you never watch and even delete menu items from the sidebar.

Step 2: Next, move the app up, down, left, right - wherever you want to place it. Step 1: Highlight the channel you want to move, and press the Star/asterisk button on the Roku remote. 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. By default, Roku has channels you might never use right up top and ones you use all the time several clicks down. If 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.
