Secret Roku menus help you get the most out of your experience

Whether you're new to Roku devices or you've been streaming with one for years, you've undoubtedly found plenty to like and get the most out of your use. But did you know Roku has hidden a host of secret menus that aim at helping you get even more out of your experience?

The secret menus available on your Roku device allow you to check your wireless settings, make ad and screenshot preferences, and if you're a developer, test your app from the comfort of your couch. Best of all, they give you the full control over your Roku device that isn't so easy to find (if it's available at all) on competing set-top boxes.

Before we help you find those secret menus, be aware that if you're a novice user, some of them may be less useful than they may be for more advanced users. You should also know that the only way to access the menus is by being quick with your thumbs by tapping buttons in rapid succession.

But if that doesn't bother you (and you're someone who still remembers the old Contra cheat code), you might find the Roku secret menus useful — and kinda fun to access. … So if you're in the mood to look under the hood of your Roku device, read on to check out how to access its secret menus.
