Reach hundreds of thousands of TVs. Instantly.

From the beginning, the Roku player was designed to be an inexpensive, open, developer-friendly platform, providing access to the most ubiquitous entertainment device: the television.

With the Roku Software Developer’s Kit, you too can build a channel that streams your content to the TV. The SDK gives you the tools to design a channel that excites your customers and makes sense for your business. Extend an existing web-based service, or create a channel entirely focused on TV delivery – it’s up to you.

Click the button to get started. If you do not have a Roku account, you will first be asked to create one.

Develop your channel

Register as a Roku developer, and create your channel using our free developer’s tools and documentation. All you need to get started is a Roku player and a PC (Windows/Mac/Linux).

Publish to the world

If you want the broadest reach, distribute your channel in the Roku Channel Store, where any customer can find it and add it from the Roku TV interface with a few button clicks.

Or, publish to a limited audience

To restrict access to your content, build a Private Channel. Whether you are beta testing your channel or creating a business-specific solution, you’ll have control over your channel’s distribution and use.
