Channels & viewing

X has started rolling out a TV app. It is currently available on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, and LG TV (WebOS). The linked article makes no mention of Roku at all. Remember that Roku is only responsible for The Roku Channel. It's up to developers and services to write apps for Roku devices.

To the powers that be,

Please make the X app available for Roku users.

Thank you.

As mentioned, it is up to Elon to write the app, not Roku. But, he's too distracted with politics right now.

Funny how that works. If I want to watch X TV, and it's not available on Roku, I have leave the entire Roku environment. I might find that Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc, are not exclusive to Roku, and I might not come back.

Hi, @MarthaMyDear6 

Welcome to the Roku Community.

Thank you for expressing your interest in adding the X app to the Roku platform. We think this is a fantastic idea! 

To move forward, please reach out to X directly and let them know you would like their app available on Roku. Most channels on Roku are developed and designed by their respective providers.

We look forward to this and feel free to let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Happy Streaming! 💜

Best wishes,
Kash

Is there any update on this? I really would like to have access to this.

As noted before, this is 100% up to X. Roku cannot force them to create an app. Plus, Elon is a bit busy right now...

Hi, @KJ11 

Thanks for the post!

We get a lot of feedback and inquiries about adding X (formerly known as Twitter) to Roku, and we like this idea.

You can inquire further with X's support team and let them know that you'd like their app to be present on the Roku platform.

Let us know if you have further inquiries. We're here to assist.

Happy Streaming!

Best wishes,
Kash
