Sharing Device With Another Person

I would like to know why there is no option to be able to share a device with another person in the same household. If there is a way besides me logging into my Roku account on every mobile phone, please let me know. My boyfriend and I work different days and would both like to have access to the camera.

    Hey everyone,

    We're glad you asked about sharing access to your Roku Smart Home devices!

    Right now, the only way to access a Roku Smart Home device (like a Camera or Doorbell) is to log in to the Roku Smart Home app with your Roku account credentials on each device you want to use.

    Let us know if you have any other questions!

    Happy Streaming! 💜

    Thanks,
    The Roku Community Team

      This is a greatly missed feature.  I need the ability for another family member to be able to look in on the cameras to check on the dogs.  Maybe an account type that can only arm, disarm, and view everything but not make changes?  Please add this to the suggestion box.

        So just log into your roku account on another device & it won't kick you off on your own device?
