Casting from your iPad to a Roku TV is primarily done using AirPlay. Here’s how to do it:

1. Check Compatibility:

• Roku TV:
  • Ensure your Roku TV supports AirPlay 2. Most newer Roku TVs do, but it’s always best to verify your specific model’s specifications.
• iPad:
  • Your iPad should be running iPadOS 12.3 or later.

2. Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network:

• Both your iPad and your Roku TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

3. Enable AirPlay on Your Roku TV:

• On your Roku TV:
  • Go to Settings.
  • Select Apple AirPlay and HomeKit.
  • Ensure that AirPlay is turned On.

4. Start AirPlay from Your iPad:

• Open Control Center:
  • Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPad’s screen.
• Tap “Screen Mirroring”:
  • Look for the icon that looks like two overlapping rectangles.
• Select Your Roku TV:
  • Choose your Roku TV from the list of available devices.
• Enter the AirPlay Code (if prompted):
  • If a code appears on your TV screen, enter it on your iPad.

Important Considerations:

• Wi-Fi Strength:
  • A strong and stable Wi-Fi connection is essential for smooth AirPlay performance.
• Software Updates:
  • Ensure both your iPad and Roku TV have the latest software updates.
• Troubleshooting:
  • If you encounter issues, try restarting your iPad, Roku TV, and Wi-Fi router.
  • Make sure that both devices are on the same wifi network.
• App-Specific Casting:
  • Many apps, like YouTube and Netflix, have built-in AirPlay buttons. This allows you to send content directly to your Roku TV without mirroring your entire screen. When available, this is often the best way to cast.
