Do you want to cast web videos from iPhone to Roku TV? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
But firstly, why would anyone have the need to cast videos to Roku TV when they can easily
stream directly using an iPhone, iPad or other iOS devices?
Well, the thing is, it isn’t as enjoyable to watch web videos on a small screen.
It gets worse when you want to stream something together with your friends or family.
This where Roku comes in.
