Hi, pixel.

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We'd be happy to assist you in turning on the bandwidth saver.

Here are the steps:

  1. Press Home Button on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select Network
  4. Select Bandwidth saver
  5. Choose On/Off
  • Note: Some streaming channels employ their own mechanism to cease data usage after a specific period of inactivity. These features will not be affected when you disable Bandwidth Saver.

For more information, you may visit this support article on how to use Bandwidth Saver to avoid going over your internet data cap

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Reynan
