How to Get Dailymotion on Roku

Dailymotion, a widely-used video sharing platform, brings a world of diverse content to its users in more than 12 languages. With its vast library of millions of videos, the platform caters to a broad audience with varying interests and preferences.

The platform is well-known for its professional, high-quality content that often resembles movies. However, it also supports smaller creators, providing a space for both established and up-and-coming talent to showcase their work.

Although Dailymotion is widely popular, it is not currently available as a native app on Roku devices through the Channel Store. This has left many Roku users searching for ways to access Dailymotion’s extensive content library on their streaming devices.

Fortunately, there are solutions available for those who want to watch Dailymotion on their Roku, which we will discuss in this article.

3. After that, open the Dailymotion app and sign in to your existing account or create a new one if you don’t have one already.
4. Once you’re on the app’s home screen, select and play the video you want to watch on your Roku.
5. Open your device’s notification panel and look for the Screencast or Cast icon. Tap on it and select your Roku device from the list of available devices.

From Windows

To use Miracast on Windows to watch Dailymotion on your Roku, follow these steps:

1. Press the “Windows + P” keys on your keyboard simultaneously to open the projection options.
2. Look for the blue text at the bottom of the pop-up that says “Connect to a wireless display” and click on it. 
3. From the list of available displays, select your Roku TV.

5. Click on “More Display settings.”
6. Choose the “Connect to a wireless display” option to establish the connection.
7. Alternatively, you can use the “Windows + K” shortcut to access this option directly.

Once you’ve selected your Roku TV, a permission pop-up should appear. If you don’t see the pop-up, you may need to adjust your TV’s settings. Most Roku devices are Miracast-compatible by default, so you only need to:

1. Enable the “Screen mirroring mode” on your Roku.
2. Select “Prompt” to allow the connection.

After completing these steps, you can start watching Dailymotion content on your Roku using Miracast on your Windows computer.
