In this handy guide, I’ll walk you through 8 different secret menus to help you get the most out of your Roku streaming experience. Let’s start exploring!

An Overview of Important Roku Remote Buttons

Before we dive into the secret menus, let me quickly go over a few key buttons on your Roku remote that we’ll be using:

  • Directional Arrows – Let you navigate up, down, left, and right.
  • Rewind Button – Helps rewind videos.

  • Play/Pause Button – Starts playing or pauses video.

OK, now that we’ve got that covered, let’s unlock those hidden menus!
