How to Add Hidden Private Channels to Your Roku

Aside from using the 'Roku Channel Store,' there’s another way to get more content on your Roku media streaming device. Yes – we’re talking about private Roku channels, many of which come with unique content libraries. So, we’ll show you how to add hidden and private channels to your Roku, which is a straightforward and quick procedure. Take a look just below.

How to Add Private Roku Channels

1. Begin by visiting my.roku.com – using your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

2. You'll have two options now, to create a new account or log in to an existing one. 

3. Many of you are already Roku users, so input your credentials on the left and log in.

4. Once you log in, look for a group of options called 'Manage Account' (on the left). 

5. Then, select 'Add Channel with a Code.'

6. At this point, you’ll be asked to input a channel code. More on that just below. 

7. Once you copy the access code, make sure to click on 'I am not a robot.'

8. Complete the verification process you’ll see on your screen (if asked to do so).

9. Then, click on the purple-colored 'Add Channel' button.

10. After a few seconds, Roku will show you a warning. Read it, and click on 'OK.'

11. And finally, click on 'Yes, Add Channel.'

That’s it! You have now added a new private channel to your Roku, which will be tied to your Roku username. However, keep in mind that it can take up to 24 hours for new channels to appear on your Roku. And of course, you need to be signed in to your Roku account on the media streaming device you plan to test the new channel on.
