Microphone - Philips Roku TV User Manual

Microphone

Your Roku TV does not have a built-in microphone. However streaming channel providers can
use the microphone on Roku voice remotes (only on select models) or on your mobile device
when the Roku mobile app is running. You can control whether streaming channels have
permission to use the microphone.
Note: These settings affect only streaming channel access to the microphone. They do not
affect your Roku TV's Voice Search feature.
Channel microphone access
You can control which streaming channels have permission to use the microphone, giving
you control over how the microphone is used by each streaming channel. The default setting
is Prompt, so channels will not be able to turn on the microphone without your permission.
To change microphone access settings:
1. From the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone.
2. Select Channel microphone access.
3. Choose one of the following settings:
•
Prompt – Display a notification the first time a streaming channel requests the
use of the microphone. When such a notification appears, you can select either
Allow microphone access or Deny microphone access on a per-channel basis. If
you choose to allow microphone access, you'll be prompted to confirm your choice
by entering a numeric code that appears on the screen.
•
Always allow – Do not prompt, but always allow any streaming channel to use the
microphone.
•
Never allow – Do not prompt, but never allow any streaming channel to use the
microphone.
