How to Install an App for Testing on Roku

Unfortunately, we can't provide you with the possibility to install your white-labeled Roku app for testing. Instead, you can use our demo app, which can be added as a private demo channel to your account on Roku. Your white-labeled app will be the same as the demo app, except for logos and icons.

How to add a demo channel?

The demo app is a non-certified channel that can be used for testing. To download and install our demo channel:

  1. Go to my.roku.com on your computer or smartphone.

  2. If prompted, sign in to your Roku account.

  3. Under Manage account select Add channel with a code.

  4. Enter our demo channel access code 6GMLZDP and select Add Channel.

  5. Acknowledge the warning message that appears.

The channel will not immediately appear in the list of channels on your Roku streaming player or Roku TV™. Your Roku device checks every 24 to 36 hours for any new channels you have added from the website and automatically installs them.

If you would like to download the channel immediately, go to your Roku device and select Settings > System > System update > Check now.

Once downloaded, new channels are added to the list of channels under Home on the main screen of your Roku device.
