This step-by-step guide will detail Roku Screen Mirroring and show how to cast android, iOS, and Windows devices to your Roku device.
Roku Screen Mirroring is a great way to stream and display content on your other devices directly to your TV.
Using the Roku screen mirror feature is a great way stream apps not available in the Roku Channel Store.
This is often referred to as “jailbreaking” and is popular amongst cord-cutters. Unfortunately, Roku devices are unable to be “jailbroken” due to their closed source software.
However, KODIFIREIPTVhas created a Jailbreak Roku tutorial that will provide a secret method to stream free Movies, TV Shows, and more.
How To Jailbreak Roku
Although we cover Roku devices on this Website, we don’t recommend them due to their closed system.  We recommend the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K due to its low price and ability to easily Jailbreak it which will allow for free movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, games, and more.
