Hello, I'm trying to connect my laptop to my Roku via screen share but it seems to not work. Roku doesn't show up on "searching for devices".

Re: Roku won't show up on devices for screen share.

A Roku does not have the ability share. Hence why you don’t see it. You can however mirror your screen. Here are the instructions. As long as your using Windows that is. You didn’t specify which operating system is on your laptop.

By screen share, I meant mirroring and I'm using a windows 10.

You asked for help I am pointing you in the right direction. The video explains the steps to make your Windows 10 laptop mirror to your Roku. Here is another useful link. Be sure screen mirroring is set to "always allow". Restart your Roku also.

Ok well I provided a link to a video for you to watch. I link to read which explains how to do it. I guess I am out of here. Have a nice day. Easy way to figure it out. Can you mirror your phone? If so then it is an issue with Windows 10.

My phone works so it might be an issue with win 10 then.
