To enjoy your Netflix content on your TV, you need to connect your Netflix account to your Roku device. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Set Up Your Roku

Ensure that your Roku device is properly connected to your TV and powered on. If you haven’t yet, connect it to your home Wi-Fi network for an internet connection that will facilitate streaming.

Access the Home Screen

Using the Roku remote, press the Home button to navigate to the main screen where your channels are listed.

Add the Netflix Channel

Scroll down the main screen to find and select Streaming Channels. Navigate through the Channel Store to the section labeled Movies TV Shows, or use the search function to locate the option for Netflix. Select Netflix and choose the Add Channel option. This process may take a few minutes as the Netflix channel is being installed.

Open Netflix

Once the installation is complete, return to the Home screen. You should now see the Netflix channel icon. Click on it to open the Netflix app.

Sign In to Your Netflix Account

If you are asked, enter your Netflix email and password. If you don’t have an account, you can create one directly on the Netflix website.
