Re: Roku outdoor camera won’t live stream on Roku tv but works fine on the smart home app.

Hello! @ATHoodie,

Thank you for posting in the Roku Community!

To access your camera's live stream on Roku TV, we're here to guide you through the process. Let's get started!

With the Roku Cameras channel, you can easily enjoy live streams from all your Roku Smart Home cameras and video doorbells on your TV! If you have a Roku streaming player or Roku TV with Roku OS 11.0 or later, the channel will automatically appear after you set up your first camera or doorbell. For an even better viewing experience, we suggest using Roku OS 11.5 or higher. Your streaming devices check for a software update every 24 to 36 hours, or you can manually check for an update if necessary.

  • Note: To use this feature, your Roku Smart Home camera, doorbell, and TV must be added to or use the same Roku account.  

To view a live stream on any of the Roku streaming devices linked to your account, your camera or doorbell must be powered on and connected to the internet.

  1. Switch the input on your TV to your Roku streaming device
  2. Press Home on your Roku remote
  3. Press OK or move to the right to access your channel list 
     
  4. Highlight the Roku Cameras channel and press OK 
     
  5. Select a camera or doorbell to view the live stream

You can switch between live streams by pressing up or down on your remote when you are in the channel. You need to use the Roku Smart Home mobile app to speak to visitors or access most settings.

For more detailed information, please see this article: How to view a live video stream from your Roku Smart Home camera or video doorbell.

Thanks,
Arjiemar
