Roku Screen Mirroring
Does it work with my Roku?
Short answer: yes. Our app sends your screen to a free companion channel on the Roku, so it works on every Roku TV and current Roku player — including models and phones that can't use Roku's built-in mirroring.
Every Roku TV can run the free companion channel, so any Android phone can mirror to it — sound included on Android 10+.

Roku's current sticks run the companion channel without a hitch. Keep the stick's Wi-Fi signal strong for a smooth picture.

Works on every Express, including the 3700 and 3710 that never had Roku's built-in mirroring. Older Express hardware uses a lighter picture setting to stay smooth.

Works on players that still get Roku software updates, like the Premiere. Players too old to add channels from the Roku store can't install the companion channel.

Quick answers
Can I screen mirror an Android phone to any Roku?
With our app, yes: every Roku TV and every Roku player that can add channels from the Roku store, including the Express 3700 and 3710 that have no built-in mirroring. Your phone needs Android 8.0 or later and the same Wi-Fi as the Roku.
Do I need Miracast or Smart View?
Not with our app. Roku's built-in mirroring needs a phone with Miracast (often called Smart View or Wireless display), which Google Pixel phones don't have. Our app uses your Wi-Fi network instead, so it works on Pixel, Samsung, Motorola and other Android phones.
Will I hear sound on the TV?
Yes, on Android 10 and later with the Screen + Sound mode. Instant Video mode keeps sound on the phone in exchange for the lowest delay.
Why is Netflix black when I mirror it?
Netflix and many other streaming apps block screen capture to protect their videos. That's the app's choice, not a fault — watch them in their own Roku channel instead.
Is screen mirroring to Roku free?
Roku's built-in mirroring is free. Our app and its Roku channel are free to download; some extra features need a Pro plan.
