Is there a way to disable the voice feature on the remote?

I've never seen any menu setting for controlling the voice function. But if you don't press the mic button it's not listening.

Thanks for responding atc98092. I went into Settings and it said it was listening. I attempted to find an on/off toggle, but I couldn’t find one. Maybe it’s not actually listening until I hit the mic button on the remote?

I was always under the impression that the mic button has to be pressed for anything to happen. I don't think it's like an Amazon Echo device that always has a hot mic. If someone knows otherwise, I'd love to hear about it.

I don’t know if you ever found your answer. Go to home. Settings. Privacy and should find it there

What I do with all of my remotes with the Voice/microphone button is to take a knife and cut the button off. I did this with the shortcut buttons as well because they go too channels I don't use. Because some Roku remotes have the OK/Select button where the Voice button is on these remotes, it's far too easy to hit one of these buttons by mistake. So removing them is best.

It requires a sharp knife so be careful. Roku really needs to add an actual setting to disable or reprogram all of those buttons.
