Showing your phone's screen on the TV used to mean digging through a drawer of adapters. Not anymore. With screen mirroring, you can get photos, videos, and your entire display onto a Roku TV in seconds — completely wirelessly.
Here's exactly how to do it.
Before you start
There's just one requirement: your phone and your Roku need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. That's what lets them find each other. Once that's sorted, the rest takes seconds.
- Your Roku device or Roku TV, powered on
- Your phone connected to the same Wi-Fi
- The Roku Screen Mirroring app installed
The 3 steps
1
Open the appIt automatically scans your network and lists every Roku it finds nearby.
2
Tap your TVSelect your Roku from the list. The first time, accept the mirroring prompt on your TV screen.

Start castingChoose your whole screen, a video, or a photo album — and it appears instantly on the big screen.
Tips for a flawless connection
- Sit closer to your router, or use a 5 GHz network, for the smoothest playback.
- Close heavy background apps on your phone to free up resources.
- If the TV doesn't show up, restart both the app and the Roku — it fixes most issues.
That's it. Once you've paired once, future casts are a single tap. Enjoy the big screen!
