I'm very new to Roku so forgive my naivete but I can't seem to find an answer to this simple question.  When I return to my TV tomorrow, how can I turn on the Roku and have it go right back to where I left off in my movie or whatever I'm watching?  I don't think I should have to shuffle through a menu to "What to Watch" and then "Continue Watching".  Is that really the only way to do this and if so, why?  Seems like I should be able to just turn it on and be right where I left off on the screen.  Thank you for your help!

Hi @Denmano,

Thanks for the inquiry and welcome to the Roku Community!

Please be advised that when you turn on a Roku device, it will not automatically show the previous movie or show you were watching, but it will display a "Continue Watching" section on the home screen where you can easily access the last episode or movie you started on a supported channel across different Roku devices linked to your account.

Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

Best regards,
John

Thanks, John.  I don't see the "Continue Watching" tile on the home screen.  Am I missing something?  I went into settings and home screen and there's no option to show that.
