Below are some clips we've found from Roku's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

What are the hours and when should I call?

Roku operates the call center for this 816-272-8106 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Saturday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 3,009 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Roku call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Roku phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Roku staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Roku is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday, which averages 45% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 3,009 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Saturday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday, which is 58% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Roku

In summation, the best day to call Roku is Saturday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Roku staffs up on Saturday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.

Calling this Roku Customer Number

Calling Roku for customer service was a mixed-bag experience for me. While the directory was short and I was able to get to a customer service agent in very little time, I have a feeling support is outsourced and it impacted the experience as a customer. It was hard to understand the agent I was sent to, and there was a lot of static in the background that persisted even once I pointed it out. Thus, while I did eventually get help, I think it was a struggle for both of us on both ends of the phone line. 

This is slightly disappointing because I feel like thousands of people probably call Roku every day. Most Smart TVs now have Roku built into them, and the brand itself has ventured out quite a bit and now includes things like cameras and doorbells. Therefore, I would expect them to have a more professional experience for customers than they did. It would have been better to wait a few extra minutes on the phone versus getting to someone quickly and we don't understand each other. Even having a better phone line connection would have been a step up. 

When I first called, a recorded message said, "Thank you for calling Roku. Your call may be recorded for training purposes." It then told me "For technical support, press 1. For help with your Roku account, recent changes, or subscriptions, press 2. For any other product or service options, press 3." I thought for a moment, and my main issue was that I couldn't get certain functions of Roku to work with my television, so I chose technical support. Had I needed help with sales, maybe the customer support team would have been local, but I can't say for sure. 

After choosing technical support, the recorded message gave me another list of options that stated, " If you're having trouble with your TV, streaming device or audio, press 1. For help with cameras, doorbells or any other smart home devices, press 2." I obviously pressed 1, since my issue was with my TV, and the recorded message stated, "An agent will be with you shortly."

This was the impressive part, as the classical music literally only played for about two seconds before I heard a heavily accented voice say, "Thank you for choosing Roku, this is Vishnu." Vishnu worked hard at troubleshooting with me, and we did figure it out. However, his accent made it hard for me to understand him and there was a lot of static noise on the line that made it even harder to understand each other.

Why Customers Call Roku

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Roku, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

What is the difference between Roku Express and Roku Streaming Stick?

The main difference between Roku Express and Roku Streaming Stick lies in their design and functionality. Roku Express is a compact device that connects to your TV via an HDMI cable, offering HD streaming and a straightforward user interface. On the other hand, Roku Streaming Stick is a portable device that directly plugs into your TV's HDMI port, providing full HD or 4K streaming, enhanced wireless range, and advanced features such as voice control and private listening through the remote. This stick also offers a more responsive and powerful streaming experience. Both devices support numerous streaming apps and channels, but the Roku Streaming Stick offers a more advanced and feature-rich experience for those seeking better picture quality, improved connectivity, and additional capabilities.

How do I create a Roku account?

Roku offers online access to entertainment on multiple channels for your smart TV. Setting up your device requires creating a Roku account and activating streaming. Visit Roku.com, click “Sign In,” then “Create Account,” and

More Roku Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Roku customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Roku Customer Service Live Chat

support.roku.com - Customer Service
Click "Live Text Chat" on the right
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Roku provides this option.

Roku Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

twitter.com/RokuSupport - Technical Support
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Roku, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.

Roku Customer Help Desk / Web Support

support.roku.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Roku customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
