Stream personal and family videos on Roku TV
If you want to watch home movies, recitals, or training videos on your Roku TV, you can stream the videos you already own through a private channel. A private streaming app lets you upload and organize personal videos into collections, share them with selected people, and play them on Roku without public feeds or social-media distractions.
What to know
- You can stream personal and family videos on Roku without publishing them publicly.
- Private streaming channels let you organize videos into Collections for easy replay on TV.
- Sharing is controlled—only the people you choose can access your library.

What this private streaming approach does
A Roku-accessible private channel turns scattered files into a single, organized library you can watch on your TV. It supports uploading personal and family videos, grouping them into private Collections, sharing access with chosen people, and streaming directly on Roku devices.
Why it matters for Roku viewing
Using a private video library keeps meaningful recordings off social feeds and algorithms and gives a calm, TV-friendly viewing experience. It also makes replaying events—birthdays, vacations, recitals—easier for families, teams, and organizations that want controlled access and simple navigation on the big screen.
Quick start points
Find a private streaming channel in the Roku Channel Store and use its website to upload and organize your videos into Collections. Once setup is complete, the channel streams those Collections to your Roku TV for private viewing and selective sharing.
