What to do when you have lost your Roku remote

Can I use the Roku Mobile app as a remote?

You may want to use the Roku Mobile app as a replacement for your remote. There are several things to know about replacing your remote with the app.

• Your Roku device must already be powered on and connected to your home Wi-Fi network
• Your phone or tablet must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device

If your Roku device isn’t connected to the Internet—such as after a reset or if you are setting it up for the first time—the mobile app cannot detect your device, and you will not be able to use it as a remote.
