To stream Twitch on Roku, you can follow these steps:

2. Stream via Screen Mirroring (Android or Windows):
You can use the screen mirroring feature to stream Twitch from your phone or computer to your Roku device. Here’s how:
For Android Devices:
– Make sure your Android device and Roku are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
– On your Roku, go to “Settings” > “System” > “Screen mirroring” and choose either “Prompt” or “Always Allow.”
– On your Android phone, swipe down to access quick settings and look for the “Cast” or “Screen Mirroring” option.
– Select your Roku device from the list.
– Open the Twitch app on your Android phone, start streaming, and it will display on your Roku screen.
For Windows Devices:

– Scroll down to “Multiple displays” and select “Connect to a wireless display.”
– Select your Roku device from the list.
– Open the Twitch website or app on your browser, start the stream, and it will appear on your Roku.
3. Use a Third-Party App or Channel:
Some third-party apps, like “Twitch for Roku” or “Twitch Player,” are available for download through the Roku Channel Store, but their availability may vary. You can search for Twitch-related channels in the Roku Channel Store and install them if they are available.
4. Use Roku’s Web Browser (Alternative Method):
If you prefer browsing Twitch on your Roku, you can use a web browser such as “Roku Browser” or another browser app that is available in the Roku Channel Store, and visit the Twitch website directly.
By using these methods, you should be able to enjoy Twitch content on your Roku device, even without an official app.
