Using Roku Voice commands
Roku Voice commands make it fast and easy to control your TV and find entertainment with simple voice com-
mands like "show me comedies". Control your TV with commands like "switch to game console" or "watch chan-
nel seven". Use the Roku mobile app or a compatible smart speaker to speak commands. When using a smart
speaker, add "on my Roku" or, for example, "on my bedroom Roku" to the end of the command.
To learn what commands to use, watch for hints that appear at appropriate times. For example, if you are in the
TV settings menu with the Sleep timer command highlighted, a hint might appear explaining how to use a
Roku Voice command to set the sleep timer. You can use a Roku Voice command at any time, without first calling
up a menu.
• See what's on TV. Say "Show Guide".
• Jump to a specific channel. Say "Go to seven" to open Live TV on channel 7. Or say, "Sky News". If there are
multiple sources of a channel, you'll see a panel where you can choose the one you want.
• Launch streaming channels, switch inputs or change live TV channels. Say, "Go to Netflix" to open Netflix.
• Set sleep timers. For example, say "Turn the TV off in 30 minutes" or "Go to sleep at twenty-two hundred".
• Only on 4K TVs, say "Show me 4K films" to see a list of 4K films available across participating streaming chan-
nels.
• Use Roku Voice to make entries in a variety of on-screen keyboards. Keyboards that support voice entry have
a microphone icon next to the input field. You can say letters, characters and numbers for an easy way to
enter the required information. The TV displays helpful hints at appropriate times to provide guidance.
• Use voice commands to turn the display off (for enjoying streaming music), turn captions on or off and to
replay the last few seconds of a film or TV programme.
• Control Roku Media Player to play your personal music and show films and photos. Say commands like, "Play
classic rock on Roku Media Player", "Skip ahead 20 seconds" or "Play the next song".
Using Roku Voice with Apple Siri
Ask Siri on your Apple device to control your Roku TV with just your voice. Say things like "Hey Siri, play jazz on
the living room TV" to play music from your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod Mini or Mac on your Roku TV.
Roku TVs also support Apple HomeKit, which allows you to easily and securely control your Roku device while
using the Home app or Siri. After installing your Roku TV, set it up with just a few simple steps within the Apple
Home app. You can even create your own custom automations and scenes that include HomeKit-enabled ac-
cessories, such as your Roku TV, to control your home setting. For more information, see Apple Home app. For
details about what Apple HomeKit controls are available with your TV, see the Roku support article, How to use
AirPlay and HomeKit with your Roku® streaming device.
Using Roku Voice with Google Home
Use Google Home, Google Pixel phone or the Google Home mobile app to control your Roku TV. You can search
for films and TV programmes, launch most channels, control playback, adjust the volume, switch inputs, turn
the TV on and off and more. Control multiple Roku devices by including the location of the device in your com-
mands. For example, say "Hey Google, turn off Roku in the bedroom". For information on linking and controlling
your Roku TV, see the Roku support article, How do I use Google to control my Roku® streaming device?
Using Roku Voice with Amazon Alexa
Use Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show or the Amazon Alexa mobile app to control your Roku TV. You can
search for films and TV programmes, launch most channels, control playback, adjust the volume, switch inputs,
turn the TV on and off and more. Control multiple Roku devices by including the location of the device in your
commands. For example, say "Hey Alexa, pause Roku in the living room". For information on adding the Alexa
Roku skills and controlling your Roku TV, see the Roku support article, How do I use Amazon Alexa to control my
