Screen mirroring adult videos on Roku
Roku removed all private (aka non-certified) channels in late February 2022, including popular Roku porn channels like Adult Time, Pornhub, AdultEmpire, and all the rest. You could watch porn on Fire TV or other streaming media devices, but there’s no need to toss out your Roku if you’re already invested on that platform, and you don’t need to cancel your porn video subscriptions. Although the dedicated adult Roku channels are gone, you can still stream porn to your Roku.
In this article we tell you how to stream videos directly from adult video services. In a later article we will tell you which streaming services let you download videos, and how you can stream them to your Roku.
To stream porn to your Roku you will need an Android device that supports screen mirroring, or an iPhone or other iOS device with AirPlay. You will be accessing adult websites using the browser on your Android or iOS device, so that device will, of course, need Internet access. Also, your Android or iOS device must be on the same WiFi network as your Roku device. Watching adult videos on your Roku while streaming on your mobile device uses an Android and iOS feature called screen mirroring.  Although some people call this “casting,” there is a difference between the two. In screen mirroring, your entire mobile device screen is shown on your TV when mirrored to your Roku. In casting, only the video that is streaming on your mobile device is shown on your TV. Roku devices allow casting only from an app on your mobile device to a corresponding app on your Roku. For example, a YouTube video can only be cast to the YouTube app on Roku. Because there are no adult apps on Roku, you must make use of screen mirroring instead of casting.

How to Stream Porn on Roku Using Android Devices

To stream adult videos to your Roku using an Android device, you will need an Android phone or tablet with screen mirroring capabilities, and your Android and Roku devices must be on the same WiFi network.

Screen mirroring is available on most current-generation Roku streaming players and Roku TV models, with only a couple of exceptions that are identified here (scroll down to the heading “Does my Roku device support screen mirroring?“). Screen mirroring should already be enabled on your Roku device, but you can check the settings by going to Settings >> System >> Screen Mirroring from your Roku’s home screen.

If your Android device is running OS 4.2 or later it likely supports screen mirroring, but the name assigned to that feature varies by manufacturer. Some names are Smart View, Quick Connect, SmartShare, AllShare Cast, Screen casting, and Cast. To start mirroring your mobile device’s screen, find this function on your phone, enable it, and select the Roku device you want to mirror on. Your Roku will prompt you as to whether to allow your device’s screen to be mirrored if you haven’t already set your Roku to always allow mirroring from your device. 

Once your screen is mirrored on your Roku, go to your adult website of choice, start streaming a video, and select the icon within the video for expanding to full-screen. And make sure you turn your phone or tablet to a horizontal orientation to match your TV’s orientation.  You may also want to visit the settings for screen mirroring on your mobile device. There are too many variations among manufacturers for us to cover them all here, but on the Samsung Note 10+, for example, you’re given the option to change the aspect ratio to match the TV screen. Your mobile device and your TV may have different aspect (height to width) ratios, and changing this setting lets you completely fill the TV screen.

If you want to test this for yourself, we recommend visiting AdultEmpire.com, which has a wealth of free and easy-to-access video previews. More information on the AdultEmpire adult video service is available here.

How to Stream Porn on Roku Using iOS Devices

If your Roku device is compatible with Apple AirPlay, you will find the settings for this feature by going to Settings >> Apple AirPlay and HomeKit from your Roku’s home screen. Compatible Roku devices are also listed on this Roku support page.

With your iOS device and your Roku on the same WiFi network, open Control Center on your iOS device and tap Screen Mirroring. Select your Roku device from the list of accessible devices. If an AirPlay passcode appears on your TV screen, enter the passcode on your iOS or iPadOS device.

Once your screen is mirrored on your Roku, go to your favorite adult website, start streaming a video, and select the icon within the video for expanding to full-screen. AdultEmpire.com has a wealth of free and easy-to-access video previews you can use to test the mirroring process. More information on the AdultEmpire adult video service is available here.
