This article explains the procedure for watching TikTok videos on Roku with the help of an Android and iPhone.
Steps to Stream TikTok Videos on Roku
TikTok is incompatible with Roku, so you can’t install the app from the Channel Store. But if you would like to watch its videos wirelessly, install TikTok on your Android or iPhone, play videos, and screen mirror them to your Roku. To make this work, keep your smartphone and Roku TV connected to an identical WiFi network.
- Turn on Screen Mirroring or AirPlay on Roku
For casting videos from Android, enable screen mirroring on Roku TV. If you use an iPhone, turn on the AirPlay feature. Go to Settings → Apple AirPlay and Homekit → AirPlay ON.
- Download TikTok on Android or iPhone
Visit the Play Store or App Store and install the TikTok app on your smartphone.
- Sign in to your account
After the installation, launch the app on your smartphone and sign in to your TikTok account with valid credentials.
- Enable the Cast/Screen Mirroring icon on a smartphone
Scroll down the Notification Panel on your Android or the Control Center on your iPhone. Tap the Cast or Screen Mirroring icon.
- Choose your Roku device
Select your Roku TV from the devices list to watch short-form videos on a big screen.
