Jackbox on ROKU
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with ROKU TV. (Even though Jackbox Games claims to be compatible with all digital platforms. Hmm.)
ROKU TV is a TV streaming device by default. Therefore, its built-in firmware does not support other third-party applications such as Jackbox Games.
However, if you still want to make it work for your gaming experience, there are some tricks that you can use to find a workaround and be able to play Jackbox Games on your ROKU TV.
1. Using a Chromecast
Unless you are a technician by profession or a tech enthusiast, you wouldn’t notice the HDMI port that is pre-installed at the back of your ROKU TV. The HDMI port serves as a digital connection point to other devices such as Chromecast.
Chromecast is a third-party streaming device by Google that allows users to project their phone screen on their ROKU TV via its screen share function. After a successful connection to both your ROKU TV and phone, you can use Chromecast to play Jackbox Games on your big screen at ease.
Just skip the inconvenience of connecting wires and complicated device setup by using a Chromecast where everything is done wirelessly. Welcome to the new high-tech era!
2. Using an HDMI Cable to Connect Alternative Platform 
Instead of purposely going out of your way to buy a Chromecast in store, you can use your existing gaming consoles as alternatives, such as PC, PS, or XBOX. Your gaming console comes with an HDMI cable, where you can connect it to your ROKU TV.
After that, install Jackbox Games on your preferred gaming console then you are done with the setup. This will allow you to play Jackbox Games on your favorite controller and keyboard while enjoying a big-screen experience simultaneously.
This is the safest and most recommended method for you to enjoy those games on a big screen if you own a ROKU TV.
3. Get an Android Emulator
In the event that you own neither of the devices mentioned above, you can download and install an Android TV Emulator on your ROKU TV instead. An Android TV Emulator is a software that allows your TV to behave like an Android device.
Since Android OS is a versatile operating system on the market, this can make playing Jackbox Games on your ROKU TV possible for you. There are numerous third-party sources available online, however, this suggestion may cause issues such as security, compatibility, and performance that can affect your TV. So, download at your own risk.
Let us know in the comments below if any of our suggestions helped. If you found a better solution to the problem, do let us know as well because sharing is caring. To all gamers, good luck have fun!
It’s really too bad that Ruko doesn’t support it, because ComcastX1 doesn’t support it anymore.
I just bought a Fire Stick and put it on the Roku tv to play Jackbox on. It only cost $25.
