How to Play Coursera on Roku

Coursera, a well-known online learning platform, provides access to courses, specializations, professional certificates, and degrees from top universities and companies around the world. 

In recent years, more people have been looking for flexible and high-quality online learning options, making Coursera increasingly popular.

Although smartphones make accessing Coursera very convenient, some people may find learning on a small screen distracting. Watching course videos and completing assignments on a larger screen, such as a Roku TV, can create a more focused and engaging learning experience. It enables better visibility of the content, allows for note-taking, and helps learners stay focused without the distractions that often come with using a phone.

Unfortunately, Coursera doesn’t have a dedicated app on the Roku Channel Store at the moment. This means Roku users must find another way to access Coursera and enjoy the benefits of learning on a bigger screen. 

Luckily, it’s possible to watch Coursera on Roku by screen mirroring the mobile app or web version from another device. The rest of this article will guide you through the steps to get Coursera working on your Roku device.
