Searching from the Roku mobile app
Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make
searching even faster. Use your mobile device’s keypad to type more quickly and
easily than with the on-screen keyboard on your TV. You also can search by touching
the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV show, actor, streaming
channel, or game, or,
only in the United States
, director name or genre.
When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your
mobile device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the
search results, the TV starts playing the selected program.
For more information, see Roku mobile app

Searching for free content
As you’ll discover, there is a lot of content available through your Roku TV, and much
of it is free.
Only in the United States
, you can easily find free content by including the
word “free” in your search. For example:
• Roku Voice Remote or Roku Mobile App—Say, “Show me free comedies” or
“Show me free romance,” or simply, “Show me free shows.”
• Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app—Say “OK
Google, show me free shows on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free
documentaries on Roku.”
• Amazon Alexa—Say “Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku” or “Alexa, show
me free dramas on Roku.”

Direct-to-playback commands work with selected streaming channels. Direct playback occurs only
when there is a high confidence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the
channel is already added to your Home screen.
