Using Bluetooth Headphones with Roku for Late-Night Viewing
Key points
- Roku allows Bluetooth headphone connection for late-night viewing.
- Most Roku devices need a phone to set up Bluetooth.
- The Roku app is required to connect headphones.
New Roku Feature for Night Owls
Roku devices offer support for Bluetooth, which allows users to enjoy their TV shows without disturbing others in the household during late-night hours. This is particularly beneficial for users who want to watch on a larger screen while family members are asleep or busy.
How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones
Connecting Bluetooth headphones to Roku requires some setup. While new Roku devices can connect directly to Bluetooth devices, most older models will need users to employ the Roku mobile app as an intermediary.
Setup Instructions
To set up Bluetooth on Roku, users should first download the Roku app from either the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Then, navigate to 'Settings' on the Roku device, search for 'System,' and select 'Advanced System Settings.' Next, ensure that 'Control by Mobile Devices' is set to permissive or enabled.
Final Steps
After setting up the Roku device, ensure the smartphone is on the same Wi-Fi network before opening the Roku app. Users can then select their Roku device from the app and use it as a virtual remote to pair their Bluetooth headphones.
