How Does Roku Work With Spectrum?

Using your smartphone to watch stuff on Roku is easy! You can do it in a couple of ways - casting or screen mirroring. But what's the difference? Casting means you're sending content from your phone to your Roku device. It's like telling Roku, "Hey, play this!" Screen mirroring, on the other hand, duplicates everything on your phone screen onto your TV through Stream Roku. It's like making your TV show whatever is on your phone.

Roku With Spectrum Stream on iPhone and Andriod Phone

Now, let's talk about how to do it with your iPhone or Android.

• Screen Mirroring - This is like showing a copy of your phone screen on your TV. If you want to do this, make sure your phone and Roku with Spectrum are connected to the same Wi-Fi. Then, find the screen mirroring option on your phone (it might be in settings), select your Roku device, and voila! Your phone screen will pop up on your TV.
• Casting - Casting is like sending a video from your phone to your TV. First, make sure your phone and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi. Then, open the app you want to watch, find the casting button (usually looks like a TV or monitor), and select your Roku device. That's it! Your video will start playing on the big screen.

So, whether you're into screen mirroring or casting, you've got options for streaming your favourite shows on Roku with your phone. Enjoy!

A really good way to watch stuff on Stream Roku is by screen mirroring. If your phone is new enough and connected to the same Wi-Fi, you can do this. Screen mirroring puts whatever is on your phone screen onto your TV. So, everything you see on your phone, you'll see on the TV! Easy, right?

How to Screen Mirror on Your Android Phone?

Using Stream Roku to mirror your Android phone screen is great for watching shows, listening to music, or showing off your photos on your TV. Most Android phones can mirror, but not all of them. Usually, versions 4.4.2 or newer work. To check your Android version, go to Settings > System (or About Phone) > Software Information.

Once you know your Android version, you can mirror it with Roku. If you have Android 4 or newer, you might not need the Roku App.

But if you do need the Roku app, here's what to do.

• Install the Roku App on your Android phone and sign in.
• Make sure your Android and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi.
• Tap on Devices and choose the device where you want to mirror.
• Select what you want to share, like Music, Photos, or Videos.

Now you can easily share stuff from your Android to your Roku. But if you want to share things like YouTube videos, you'll need to cast them instead.
