Updated October 27, 2026: These steps are based on the linked manufacturer support pages and reputable explanatory coverage. Menu names can vary by device, software version and region.
What to do
- On a supported Roku device, open Settings, choose Guest Mode, then select Enter Guest Mode Now and confirm the sign-out date.
- Roku’s support page says guests receive a welcome message on the TV and can use their own account credentials rather than your saved profiles.
- The welcome screen can be customized from the Roku account’s device area, with a message of up to 40 characters.
- Guest Mode is not a guarantee that every app or device supports the same sign-in flow; confirm the mode is active before handing over the remote and exit it after the visit.
Before you finish
Do not treat a single privacy or recovery feature as a complete backup or security plan. Check that the setting actually took effect, keep important files backed up separately, and avoid opening links or changing account access when the source is uncertain.
