How to Connect a PC to Roku Player?
Hooking up a PC to Roku gives you much wider access to explore the things like playing local videos, files, PC games and so on. However, Roku Customer Support Service USA states that you can’t directly connect your laptop to Roku unless you have some sorts of input ports on your PC except HDMI and component outputs that Roku provides. It is a network connected device that takes contents from the internet and stream right on your smart TV. In most of the Roku versions it doesn’t have a plug or a port to connect a computer. But there is good news for you as a free application named “Plex” easily available on the internet that allows you to use your laptop as an intermediate server to stream the content on your TV using this streaming box. So, let’s see the ways to get it from the internet and use efficiently with your computer.
Open your PC and visit plex.com. You will have options there to download the app for Mac, window, and Linux.
Once you download the application, you need to go Roku Home page. Click on sign in button to access your account. Here, what you need to do is subscribe the Plex channel, and this can’t be done until you login and add Plex channel to your account.
It’s very easy to add the channel. Just locate “Add channels” option in your account, add it by navigating to its page or setup box folder. You can add more channels by clicking on plus sign and navigating to the folder.
