Searching from the Roku mobile app
Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching
even faster. Use your mobile device’s keypad to type more quickly and easily than with the
on-screen keyboard on your TV. Or, search by touching the Voice Search icon and saying the
name of the movie, TV program, actor, director, genre, streaming channel, or game.
When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your mobile
device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the search results, the
TV starts playing the selected program.
For more information, see Roku mobile app.
Searching with Google Assistant
1
Use your Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app to search for
programs:
1. Link your Roku account to your Google account using the Google Home mobile app
on your iOS or Android device.
2. Start your command with “Hey Google” or “OK Google,” and follow the command with
“on Roku.” Some examples:
•
“Hey Google, show me documentaries on Roku.”
•
“OK Google, show me comedies on Roku.”
Note: You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have enabled
FastTVStart on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying, “OK Google, turn on Roku.”
