Watch personal videos on Roku TV
You can stream your family videos, home movies, and private recordings on Roku by uploading them to a private video library and using a Roku channel to play them on TV. Build Collections, invite specific viewers, and open your library on the ClosedCast Roku channel—no repeated phone casting or always-on home server required.
What to know
- Upload personal videos once to create a private streaming library accessible on Roku.
- Organize recordings into Collections and use search/tags to find them easily.
- Invite selected viewers by email and revoke access at any time; videos stay private by default.
- Stream directly from a Roku channel—no casting, Plex server, NAS, or always-on PC required.
- Private streaming avoids public feeds, ads, comments, and social algorithms.
Upload and centralize your videos
Bring videos together from phones, drives, cloud folders, or digitized tapes by uploading them to a private streaming library. Uploaded files are kept private by default and stored so you can access them from supported devices.
Organize with Collections and search
Group related recordings into Collections for events, years, teams, or training programs. Use search, tags, and hashtags to find recordings quickly instead of digging through scattered folders.
Share and watch privately on Roku
Install the ClosedCast Roku channel to stream your library on TV without casting, maintaining a Plex server, or running a computer. Invite specific viewers by email, revoke access when needed, and keep videos off public feeds and social algorithms.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to cast each video from my phone to watch on Roku?
No. Once your videos are uploaded and you install the ClosedCast Roku channel, you can open and stream your private library directly on the TV without casting.
Can I share videos with only specific people?
Yes. You can invite specific viewers by email to access a video or an entire Collection, and you can revoke that access whenever needed.
Do I have to run a Plex server, NAS, or keep my computer on?
No. ClosedCast removes the need to maintain Plex, a NAS, or an always-on home computer for streaming your personal videos to Roku.
Will my uploaded videos be public or shown with ads?
No. Videos are private by default, and the service does not publish a public feed, show ads around your videos, or surface content via social algorithms.
