I need to remote view elderly parent's Roku for assistance and training

My mother has a Roku and gets confused at times on navigation. It's due to her age (79) and not the software. I don't need audio, I need mirroring capabilities to guide her over the phone.

I have a Roku too. If there is an app that links to another Roku, that would be best.

I can’t think of anything exactly like that that is Roku-specific but I get on Skype (or Zoom or whatever you prefer) with my mom and lead her around the TV, phone, microwave...  It works reasonably well.

Thanks. I do that now but it's hard for her to steady at times. She's looking between the phone, controller and TV. It's hard for 79 year old

I know, my mom is 90, but one thing that helps is using a computer for skyping so she has a big screen and doesn't have to hold it/juggle it with the other stuff.  Just an idea.
