How to get SoundCloud on Roku

There are two ways to cast the SoundCloud app on your Roku. One is through the Musicloud app that allows users to stream SoundCloud tracks by adding the channel to their TV screen.

• Option 1: Install the Musicloud app

It is available on the Roku Channel Store and all you need to do is install it.

1. Go to either the Google Play Store or App Store.
2. In the search tab, type in SoundCloud.
   Tap on Install.
3. Once it is downloaded, open the app.

Now that you successfully installed it, you can proceed by casting SoundCloud on your Roku.

1. First, connect your Roku device to your Smart TV.
2. Then, press the Home button on the Roku remote to open Roku’s home page.
3. Next, press on the streaming channels option (top-right menu).
4. Under Streaming Channels, look for the Search option and type in Musiclouds.

5. Click on the Add Channel tab to add it.

6. Then, press the OK button and launch the Musicloud app.
7. Lastly, open the SoundCloud app in the My Channels section.

Now you can find your favorite app and play it just like you wanted.

Quick Note: Roku doesn’t have an official SoundCloud app on the channel store so you have to use Musiclouds from the audio platform.

2. On your TV screen, choose the Settings option and then click on System.
