Roku doesn't support direct Bluetooth pairing with Roku TVs. Only select Roku devices, such as the Roku Streambar and Roku TVs with Roku wireless speakers set up, can connect to Bluetooth accessories like phones and tablets. One way around this restriction is to connect your phone to the Bluetooth soundbar and turn on private listening in the Roku app.
