Roku supports Bluetooth headphone connectivity for nighttime viewing, enabling users to watch without disturbing others. While newer Roku devices can connect directly, most require a smartphone and the Roku app as intermediary during setup.

Key points

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.
