Can you cast directly to Roku?Casting lets you direct, or cast, a video, movie or TV show you are watching on your mobile device to your TV using a Roku device. After the content starts playing on your Roku device, you can use your mobile device for something else, or switch it off and control playback with your Roku remote.
Why can't I cast to my Roku TV?If screen mirroring is not working on Roku TV, check whether your TV supports the screen mirroring feature. Only the Roku devices with Roku OS 7.7 or above support the screen mirroring. You must update or change your device with the version to enjoy screen mirroring.
