Remote Control
Remote for Roku TV provides you with a simulated controller. Like a regular physical remote, Remote for Roku TV has a remote feature in Remote tab. The remote feature contains all buttons you can have on a physical remote, including power button, arrow keys, volume control buttons, playback control buttons and navigational buttons.
Power On/Off
The power button is one of the primary features of Roku remote, because it allows you to turn the TV on and off in distance without reaching the TV itself. This feature is designed for those who lose or couldn’t access the physical remote, letting them turn their smartphone fully into a remote controller.
Back
The back button allows you to get back to the previous page you have stayed at.
Home
The home button is able to guide you directly to the home screen of your Roku TV.
Touchpad
The touchpad feature showcases another advantage of Remote for Roku TV by transforming the arrow keys to a touchpad. Totally changes the method of interaction with TV and almost obliterates the ramshackle classic interaction.
Step 1. Click the keyboard button.
Step 2. Swipe instead of tap, it boosts your efficiency.
Arrow Keys
The arrow keys are a group of buttons that achieve basic interaction with TV. There are up, down, left, right buttons for you to move the cursor on the TV, and the OK button is for you to choose the section that the cursor is currently presenting for.
Exit
The Exit button will let you quit the content you are currently watching and lead you to the last page you are at.
Menu
The Menu button brings you to the preferential setting page within one click.
Keyboard Input
The keyboard feature allows you to change the keywords entry method with a standard qwerty keyboard. Instead of using arrow keys to select letters from a letter map one by one, the keyboard feature accelerates the input speed and brings more efficiency to you.
Step 1. Click the Keyboard button.
Step 2. Type the string you expected to input on your phone and tap the done button, then the string will appear in the text area of the TV screen.
Playback Control
The playback keys are another important feature of Roku remote, and it helps you from letting you skip to your favorite content. Also, there is pause and play button for you to stay at your favorite scene.
Volume Adjustment
The volume control button gives you an option to remotely adjust the volume of the TV. You can adjust the volume as you wish, either by clicking the mute button to lower it to zero, or using the up or down button to adjust it to a value you demand. It is a handy function because you wouldn’t need to reach your TV to change the value of volume when you do not have your remote around.
Mirror Screen
The screen mirroring feature enables you to share what’s on your phone or tablet with a TV at real-time speed. With this feature, the content on your smart phone could be easily shown on the TV screen with your family and friends or in public, and it is the best feature for having a presentation or mobile game streaming.
Step 1. Click the Mirror tab.
Step 2. Choose the quality of mirroring by clicking the quality buttons.
Step 3. Use the Sound switch to decide whether or not to play sound from the phone on the TV.
Step 4. Click the Start Mirroring button, and then you will see the phone screen displaying on TV.
Note
The mirroring feature clones the screen of the smart phone, which means that the resolution of screen mirroring is limited by the resolution of the smart phone, even though the resolution of the content is higher. In this case, one reliable solution is the casting feature that displays the content in its original resolution.
Cast Photos&Videos
The casting feature allows your phone to read the local media file and display them on the TV wirelessly. It is a convenient way to enjoy your favorite media on a bigger screen or sharing videos and photos with family and friends without needing additional cables or devices.
