This guide illustrates the procedure to screen mirror FaceTime calls on Roku using an iPhone.
Steps to Screen Mirror FaceTime on Roku
FaceTime is only available for Apple devices, so it is impossible to install the app on Roku. Fortunately, the Roku TV supports screen mirroring, so you can use this technique to mirror FaceTime calls to your TV. It helps to watch media files on a big screen when your friend is screen-sharing something during a FaceTime video call. For wireless mirroring to work, connect your Roku TV to WiFi, which should be the same as your iPhone.
