How To Install Terrarium TV On Roku?
The “Screen mirroring” feature on Roku allows you to display the content from a device on Roku TV.
Hence, if you would like to install Terrarium TV on Roku, activate this feature first.
Here is how to do it:
- Turn on the Roku TV.
- Use the remote control to access the main screen, where you can see all the channels.
- Find the “Settings” option and select “System.”
- Inside the “System” section, you can see the “Screen mirroring” feature. So choose the “Screen mirroring mode” on its right side.
Now, you will see options like “Always allow” and “Prompt”.
You need to press the “Prompt” option.
Then, Roku will ask you every time you want to display the content from the mobile device to your TV screen.
On the other hand, if you choose “Always allow,” the TV won’t ask you for this connection.
After following the steps above, the Roku TV is ready for screen mirroring.
You may install the Terrarium TV app on your Android or computer.
Then, mirror it on the TV.
Method 1: Using Android
If using an Android phone, you can take these easy steps to watch Terrarium TV on Roku:
- Connect your phone and Roku to the same Wi-Fi.

- Find “Terrarium TV” and download it.
- Next, pull down from the top of the phone’s screen to find the “Cast” option. It’s the little TV screen icon.
- When you tap on that icon, you will see the Roku TV’s name. So just pick it.
- Now, everything on your phone shows up on the big TV.
- Find the Terrarium TV app you have installed on your phone and open it.
- Finally, you can watch movies and shows on the Terrarium app using the big TV screen.

Tips For Using Terrarium TV
Watching Terrarium TV on Roku is easy.
However, you need to pay attention to security.
I have mentioned the developers have shut down this app, right?
They didn’t give a clear reason for the shutdown, but you should be careful when working with it.
For example, you may accidentally stream illegal content when using the app.
Unfortunately, it has an IP address.
Police can tell who uses it and change them for sharing the movies illegally.
Plus, you can encounter fake versions.
They may have malware that steals your information or prevents you from doing certain things.
My advice is to use a VPN. It can act as a shield for the internet.
Then, nobody knows that it’s you.
However, it’s always better to watch movies in a legal way.
So stick to the channels recommended by Roku.
Is Terrarium TV a Hidden Channel?
Yes, but only when you use it with the help of screen mirroring.
Otherwise, it’s just a jailbreak code.
Terrarium had a secure code for it before.
However, the developers have taken it down.
Some experts claimed that we couldn’t update it anymore after the shutdown.
Thus, you can’t find it in your channel list on Roku.
Common Instructions For Terrarium TV
Aside from the instructions above, I have some extra tips here.
Check them out, and you can easily use Terrarium TV on your Roku.
Download the app on a reliable APK file
When the APK file corrupts, the connection between your Roku and Terrarium will fail.
To prevent this problem, install the file from a trusted source.
Check the internet connection
The phone or computer you use to connect to the Roku should work on a stable internet connection.
Also, it has the same Wi-Fi as the TV.
Otherwise, the two devices can’t detect each other.
