How to Get Google on Your Roku
If you’re looking to get Google on your Roku, there are a few easy steps you can follow to get the most out of your streaming device. Here are some simple tips to help you get started.
Step 1: Check Your Roku’s Hardware
Before you get started, make sure your Roku device is compatible with Google. If your Roku device is not a smart TV, be sure that it is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot or your home’s internet network. Once you have a solid connection, make sure your Roku’s software is up-to-date. To do this, go into your Roku’s settings and select “System Update.”
Step 2: Download the Google Play Movies & TV App
Once you have confirmed that your Roku is compatible with Google, go to the Roku Channel Store and search for “Google Play Movies & TV.” Click “Add Channel” to download the app onto your device.
Step 3: Sign In to Your Google Account
Open the Google Play Movies & TV app on your Roku device and sign in to your Google account. If you don’t already have a Google account, you’ll need to create one.
Step 4: Start Streaming
Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to access your Google Play library on your Roku device. You can browse through movies and TV shows that you’ve already purchased or rented, as well as new releases and top-rated content.
Step 5: Get Chromecast Compatibility
If you want to take things a step further, you can also get Chromecast compatibility on your Roku. This will allow you to cast your Google Play content from your phone or tablet directly to your Roku device. To do this, download the Google Home app on your phone or tablet and set up your Chromecast device. Once your Chromecast is set up, you’ll be able to cast your content to your Roku device using the Google Play Movies & TV app.
Overall, getting Google on your Roku is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to take advantage of the great content available in the Google Play Movies & TV app on your streaming device.
