How To Watch TikTok on Roku TV?

People generate content on TikTok, one of the most popular social media networks. TikTok allows you to watch other people’s creations and contribute your own. It has a wide range of video types, including sports, dancing, food, and singing.

The app allows people to produce, like, and comment on your content. In addition, you can find the most popular, viral, and trending videos. To sum up, you have access to a ton of enjoyable material.

But the TikTok app is not accessible on the channel store of Roku. As a result, you cannot simply install it and access the content right away. You will have no choice except to choose an alternate way. This comprehensive guide will share instructions on how to watch TikTok on Roku TV.

Let’s get started!

How to Watch TikTok on Roku TV?

Mirroring your phone’s screen to your Roku TV is a widely used and easiest method to access TikTok. The screen mirroring feature will be activated by default if your Roku device runs OS 7.7. 

However, if this is not the case, you should first do an update on your device. Your Roku TV’s settings will include an update option from where you can update your Roku TV. There are three methods to watch TikTok on Roku TV:

• Streaming TikTok using an Android device
• Streaming TikTok using an iOS device
• Streaming TikTok using a PC

Method #1: Streaming TikTok Using an Android

Since TikTok is not available in the official Roku store, you may use the method of screen mirroring.

Step #1: Install the TikTok Application

Ensure you have the TikTok software installed on your phone before you begin. Those who have not installed it can do so via the Google Play Store.

Step #2: Check Internet Connections

Ensure that your Roku TV and smartphone are connected to the same network/Wi-Fi.

Step #3: Activate the Screen Mirroring Option

Under the Roku TV system settings, you will find screen mirroring. Then select Screen mirroring mode.

Step #4: Select Preferred Option

Select your preferred option between “Prompt” and “Always allow.”

Step #5: Select the Cast Option

You have to access the screen mirroring or casting option on your phone. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Swipe down your phone’s notification bar and navigate to your phone Settings.
2. Click on Bluetooth and device connection.
3. Now click on Connection preferences.
4. Select Cast.
5. And for the last step, select Roku Player.

As soon as you press it, Roku shows you a connection code, which you have to enter on your phone. If the code is not required, Roku TV should start loading, and after a few seconds, you will see your phone screen on Roku TV.

Step #6: Select What You Want to Watch

Now, your TV screen will seem just like your phone screen. Open the TikTok app from your phone, and you can start enjoying videos on your Roku TV.

Method #2: Streaming TikTok Using an iOS

Step #1: Download the TikTok Application

If you don’t have TikTok on your iPhone, download the Tiktok app and log in.

Step #2: Check Internet Connections

Ensure you have the same Wi-Fi connection on both your iOS and Roku devices to use Tiktok on Roku.

Step #3: Select the Screen Mirroring Option

Swipe down from the top to open the Control Center and tap on the Screen Mirroring option. Now select your Roku device. If the code is asked, look at your TV screen, Roku TV shows you the code you need to enter.

Step #4: Choose the Content You Want to Watch

Finally, select the video you wish to watch on your Roku device and enjoy Tiktok on Roku.

How Do I Get TikTok on My Roku TV Using AirPlay?

The addition of AirPlay to iOS devices has made it much easier for iPhone owners to project their screens onto their TVs. This function will not operate on your Roku TV unless you upgrade your device. If your iPhone and Roku TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, you may use the app on both devices.

Roku Device

1. From the TV’s home screen, select Settings.
2. Find an Apple AirPlay & HomeKit and click on it.
3. Make sure your AirPlay setting is On and select Require Code from the drop-down menu.
4. Now you have different options, but we recommend choosing First Time Only.

iPhone

1. Download TikTok from the app store if you have not already. Then log in to your account.
2. Depending on the type of iPhone you are using, you may swipe down from the top right corner or the bottom edge of the screen to access the control center.
3. Select Screen Mirroring.
4. Your Roku device will be listed in the search results. Click on it. Roku TV now shows you a code. Enter it on your iPhone.

That is all you need to do, and you can spend the rest of the day browsing your TikTok.

Method #3: Streaming TikTok Using a PC

1. Ensure that your PC and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the notification tab on the bottom right corner.
3. Expand the menu and select Connect.
4. Then the Roku device(s) should appear. Click on the appropriate one.
5. You see your computer screen on your Roku-connected TV if the connection is successful.

Now visit the official TikTok website and start enjoying videos. We recommend logging in to TikTok; then, you can watch personalized content.
