Set up and watch on Roku
Install the ClosedCast channel from the Roku Channel Store, sign in to your account on the TV, and open Collections you’ve uploaded through the web interface. Videos you upload to your ClosedCast account become available to stream on the Roku app.
Organize uploads into private Collections
Upload family videos, home movies, and event footage via the web uploader, then group them into named Collections. Collections make it easy to play a sequence of recordings — for example vacations, recitals, or reunions — directly on the TV without manual file juggling.
Keep viewing private and share selectively
ClosedCast is private by default: no public feed, no ads, and no social-media comments. You can share single videos or entire Collections privately with selected family members, friends, teams, or organizations so only invited people can view them on Roku or the web.
