Sharing Device With Another Person

Jump to solution

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

Greetings @SP17 

Welcome to the Roku Community and thanks for posting regarding sharing access to a Roku Smart Home device with another person.

Please be aware that the only way to access a Roku Smart Home device linked to a Roku account is to authenticate the Roku Smart Home mobile app with your Roku credentials for every mobile device.

If you have another inquiry in the future, please don't hesitate to post again in the Roku Community.


Thanks,

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.

Multiple users for my camera

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

@Superman1979, your wife has to have the Roku Smart Home app on her phone signed into the Roku account that the cameras are linked to.
