Roku Reveals a Secret Mode on Devices That Should Be Activated Every Time Someone Visits – It Even Helps Avoid a Big Bill

YOUR Roku streaming device has a special feature that’s perfect for when you have guests over.

It’s a standard feature of all Roku devices, so you don’t need to download anything extra.

The feature is called Guest Mode and is designed for when other people are using your TV.

It allows them to securely log into their own accounts – without ruining their own setup.

And most importantly, it will prevent anyone from spending their money through your Roku apps.

“Your guests can safely use their own app accounts and subscriptions on your Roku streaming device with Guest Mode,” explains Roku.

“Guests can enjoy free content, live TV and music, or try any of the more than 10,000 apps Roku offers.

“Guests can also add any app they want to the Roku Streaming Channels Store.

“In guest mode, your guests will not be able to access your apps, make unauthorized purchases on your card, or influence your recommendations.”

HOW TO ACTIVATE GUEST MODE ON ROKU

Enabling guest mode is very easy, but you will need to prepare it in advance.

This is because guest mode requires you to have a Rooku PIN.

You can easily set one up by going to my.roku.com/account/PIN.

Once you have a Roku PIN, you can get started.

Just follow these steps:

1. Press Home on your Roku remote
2. Scroll down and choose Settings
3. Select guest mode
4. Then choose Enter Guest Mode
5. Now enter the Roku PIN you set up
6. Click OK and confirm

If you don’t see Guest Mode, it means it’s not available where you live.

Roku says it is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Mexico and Latin America.

If you want to disable guest mode, it’s a similar process.

Follow these steps:

1. Press Home on your Roku remote
2. Scroll and choose Settings
3. Then tap on Guest Options
4. Now choose Exit and clear information
5. Then enter your Roku PIN
6. Finally select OK

But Roku adds that “when you disable Guest Mode, it may take a few minutes for your device to restart and you may need to log back into some apps.”

You can also manually disconnect a guest from anywhere.

“Your guests can leave at any time or they will be automatically logged out of all subscriptions and logins on the date they choose,” Roku said.

“All added apps will be automatically deleted upon exit.

“If your guest left early or accidentally selected the wrong departure date, you can log them out remotely with the following instructions.”

Simply log into your Roku account on the web, go to My Streaming Devices & TVs, choose your Roku device, and select Sign Out as Guest.

You can customize the guest mode welcome screen from this same settings menu.
