Roku & TV

Watch your personal videos on Roku TV

You can watch family, church, coaching, and training videos on Roku without casting or leaving a computer running. ClosedCast provides a private way to upload, organize, and play your own videos on Roku TV, using Collections, search, tags, and invite-only sharing. Playback happens on the TV so your phone doesn’t need to stay connected.

What ClosedCast does on Roku

ClosedCast installs from the Roku Channel Store and turns your Roku into a private streaming home for your uploaded videos. It organizes recordings into private Collections, supports search, tags, and hashtags, and lets you share a single video or an entire Collection with invited viewers whose access you can revoke.

Why it’s different from casting or a home server

Casting and screen mirroring work for quick clips but are clumsy for a full library. ClosedCast streams directly to the Roku app so you don’t need to keep a phone connected, run Plex or a NAS, leave a computer on, open ports, or maintain media-server software. It’s a hosted option designed for calm, TV-friendly viewing.

Who uses it and common uses

ClosedCast is suited for families (home movies, milestones, digitized tapes), churches (services and sermons), coaches and teams (game film, training reels), educators and organizations (training, onboarding, event archives), and anyone who wants a private, organized archive rather than a public feed.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a home server, Plex, or a NAS to use this on Roku?

No. ClosedCast is a hosted private-streaming service so you don’t need to run a home server, leave a computer on, configure network-attached storage, or open network ports.

Can viewers stream on the Roku without my phone staying connected?

Yes. Once videos are uploaded and available in your ClosedCast library, playback happens on the Roku app so your phone does not need to remain connected during viewing.

Are the videos public on the Roku Channel Store?

No. ClosedCast is designed for private archives: there is no public video feed, and uploads are private by default. You control who can view each video or Collection and can revoke access.

What types of videos can I store and share?

Common uses include family memories and home movies, digitized tapes, weddings and reunions, church services and ministry history, coaching footage and training videos, and organizational training or onboarding recordings.
