Q: How do I pair my Bluetooth device?

A: Before you can begin streaming Bluetooth audio, you need to connect your smartphone, tablet, or computer to your Roku TV (with Roku wireless speakers) or Roku Smart Soundbar. This is done through a discovery process called pairing which allows Bluetooth devices to register information about each other to make a secure wireless connection. Because this pairing information is retained even when Bluetooth devices are powered off, it is typically only necessary to pair your Bluetooth device one time.

Use the steps below to pair your Bluetooth device.

    1. Press the Home button home button on Roku remote on your Roku remote.
    2. Scroll up or down and select Settings., followed by Remotes & devices.
    3. Select Pair Bluetooth device.
    4. When you see the Bluetooth pairing screen, go to your smartphone, tablet, or computer and use the next several steps to complete the pairing process.
      1. Open Bluetooth settings on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
      2. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on or enabled on that device.
      3. Wait a moment for your Bluetooth device to scan for devices, and discover your Roku device.
      4. Select your Roku device (e.g., 43″ Roku TV, Roku Smart Soundbar) from the list of available devices.

After you complete the pairing process, your Roku device will appear in the list of paired devices on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. In addition, your Bluetooth device will appear in the list of My paired devices on your Roku device (along with any connected Roku audio devices and remotes).

Q: How do I stream Bluetooth audio from my connected device?

A: Once your Bluetooth device is connected, begin playing audio on your smartphone, tablet, or computer and the Bluetooth channel on your Roku device will automatically launch. As you listen to audio streaming from your Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth channel will display your device’s name, the track name, and artist name in that order.
