Unable to find camera on streaming device when they are setup on different accounts

Jump to solution

I set up my new indoor SE camera on my personal account. However the Roku Ultra attached to the main tv of the house is on a different person’s Roku account. They are on the same network. Why can’t I find the camera when I can see every Roku streaming device that’s in the network regardless of whose account it’s under? That’s not very intuitive for a smart home environment. The camera also fails to appear in google home even though all the streaming devices are there. Is there a work around for this?

Thanks for the post.

Please be aware that Roku Smart Home cameras will need to be linked to the same Roku email account as the streaming devices in order to function properly.
