Microphone 
Your TCL Roku TV does not have a built-in microphone. However streaming channel providers can use 
the microphone on the Roku voice remotes (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 
TCL 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.  Choose 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.
