    Hi, Community users!

    Greetings from the Roku Community. 

    We're happy to announce that the frequent low-battery notifications you might have been seeing with your Roku voice remote have likely been fixed.

    If you're still experiencing this issue, however, don't hesitate to:

    • Start a new thread: If the problem persists, create a new post in the Roku Community forums for further assistance.
    • Send a private message: Feel free to send me a private message (PM) if you'd prefer more personalized help.

    Troubleshooting Tips (in case you still need them):

    Check and confirm your Roku voice remote's battery:

    1. Press the Home button on your Roku voice remote.
    2. Navigate to Settings.
    3. Select Remotes & devices.
    4. Choose Remotes and then select your remote (You may have multiple remotes paired: Voice Remote, Voice Remote Pro, etc).
    5. Select About to view the battery level.

    If the battery is below 15%, we recommend replacing or recharging it.

    If you've confirmed the battery level is sufficient but continue to see low battery notifications, please follow these steps:

    Restart your remote

    • If your rechargeable voice remote has a pairing button, press and hold the pairing button on the back of the remote for 20 seconds.

    • If your rechargeable voice remote doesn't have a pairing button, press and hold the Back and Home buttons on the Roku remote for 20 seconds.

    • Disable any extra remotes that are not in use in your TV settings.

    To disable a remote:

    • For AAA/AA battery remotes: Remove the batteries.
    • For rechargeable remotes: Press and hold Back, Home, and Mute for 5 seconds to power it off.

    Monitor if the frequent notifications persist after disabling extra remotes.

    To re-enable a disabled remote:

    • For AAA/AA battery remotes: Reinstall the batteries.
    • Repair remote: For rechargeable remotes with a pairing button, hold it for 5 seconds. Otherwise, press and hold Back and Home for 5 seconds before re-pairing if necessary.

    Happy Streaming! ğŸ’œ
