Microphone
Your Roku TV does not have a built-in microphone. However streaming channel providers can use the
microphone on the Roku Enhanced Remote Control (only on select models) or on your mobile device
when the Roku mobile app is running. You can control whether streaming channels have permission to
use the microphone.
Note: These settings affect only streaming channel access to the microphone. They do not affect your
Roku TV’s Voice Search feature.
Channel microphone access
You can control which streaming channels have permission to use the microphone, giving you control
over how the microphone is used by each streaming channel. The default setting is Prompt, so no
channel will be able to turn on the microphone without your permission.
To change microphone access settings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
2. Select Channel microphone access.
3. Chose one of the following settings:
Prompt – Display a notification each time any streaming channel requests the use of the
microphone. When a notification appears, you can choose among Prompt, Always
allow, and Never allow on a per-channel basis.
Always allow – Do not prompt, but always allow any streaming channel to use the
microphone.
Never allow – Do not prompt, but never allow any streaming channel to use the
microphone.
Channel permissions
After granting or denying microphone access on a per-channel basis, you can reset channel permissions
to enable them to follow the system-wide setting you specify under Channel microphone access.
To reset channel permissions:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
2. Select Channel permissions.
3. Highlight Reset channel permissions, and then press OK.
