Roku and casting from steaming apps

Jump to solution

Roku is working fine, but when I try to cast from my phone to the tv using Roku express only Youtube and Netflix show the cast icon. All other apps, Disney, Max, Prime, Hulu and Peacock do not show the cast icon. All apps are updated. Any reason for this?

Hi Kash, this does not help my situation. I can cast Netflix and YouTube perfectly, but not other apps. I also can't screen mirror or screen cast my phone, it just says searching for device. It's strange why Netflix works, but Hulu does not, surely I can't be the only person with this issue.

Thanks
