Thanks for the inquiry.
If you are trying to use your Echo Dot as an external speaker for your Roku TV, then it will not work. However, you can use the Echo Dot with your Roku TV for other functionalities.

You absolutely can do this! However, there appears to be only one way. You MUST first download the Roku TV app to your phone. That's because only the app has a headset option you can bluetooth to an external device; your physical remote for the Roku TV does NOT have this functionality. After you have downloaded the app, you can then bluetooth your dot to your phone and voila! You have an external speaker for your your Roku TV. Sam Z.
your absolutely right, this does work! i wish i could use this play on all echo speakers like you can when creating speaker groups.
agreed..
-simply connect your iphone (not sure about android) to your echo device using bluetooth.
-then also connect your phone to your tv through the roku remote app..
-press the headset icon on the remote tab within roku app and it will play on your phone which is obv redirecting at this point to your echo device ...
I would like to see the ability to connect echo(s) / alexa as part of a group of speakers ... so tv speakers could play concurrently with the echo(s). Unfortunately this appears to be the only workaround (as of january 2022) and its worth mentioning for some of the lesser tech savvy that the quality isnt going to be super clear/great given the nature of the "daisy chained" connections .. for lack of a better term..
I am not seeing a "headphone" option or anything like that???
Ok - I found the official app with the headphone icon but I'm not getting the connection between the three devices(tv, phone, and echo show)
Raspotnik01, it's a multi-step process. You first have to pair the Echo device to your phone using the phone's Bluetooth setup. The Roku app isn't involved at all in that process. Once you can hear audio on your Echo device coming from your phone you then use the private listening feature of the Roku app to send audio from your Roku device to your phone which sends it to the Echo.
Not to necro a dead thread, but you are a certifiable hero. Bought a secondhand Roku TV and the volume turns itself up incessantly, so this will save my sanity!!!!
Eureka in the bathtub ! How did I not see this myself ? Thank you SAMSHAW
