Follow this method to watch Mobdro content on Roku if your Android smartphone already comes with a built-in native screen cast option. The name of the option might change from smartphone to smartphone. But in general, you can go to Settings and search for ‘Cast’ to find it.
Step 1: First of all, download and install Mobdro on your Android device from their official website. Since we are casting the content from our smartphone to Roku, we need to have the app installed on our device.
Step 2: You need to enable Screen mirroring option in Roku. For that follow the steps below
- Go to Settings

- Select Screen Mirroring Mode
- And now set the option to ‘Prompt’.
Enabling this option will notify you whenever a device is trying to cast to Roku TV.

Step 2: Once installed, open and setup the app.
Step 3: As mentioned earlier, go to Roku’s system settings and enable the ‘prompt’ option from the screen mirroring option.
