How to adjust the volume on TCL Roku TV without a remote

Regardless of which TV device you use, we should all be able to adjust the volume. With all kinds of Smart TVs, including the TCL Roku TV, you are provided with remote control for this and other functions. However, if you lose your remote, it’s helpful to know what you can do to adjust the sound without it. 

How to adjust volume with app

If the remote control is missing and your search for it is futile, it is wise to use the Roku mobile app. Regardless of the OS on your phone, this app is free on both Google Play and AppStore. Using this app, you can control Roku Smart TV. This app may not give you the full breadth of capabilities of a standard remote, but it should be more than enough to view channels, adjust the sound and perform other manipulations with your Smart TV.

You may not have known before, but Roku’s volume settings not only include the volume of the sound you hear when streaming, but there’s also a speaker feature. This feature is enabled by default and speaks to you as you navigate through the menus.

2. Go to Settings. They should be located on the left side of the Home screen.
3. After you open Settings, go to the Accessibility menu.

This method is uncomfortable due to the constant need to be near a TV, so I recommend you to use the app instead of it. I would like also to say that the app is only a temporary measure, too. The best way to solve the problem of not having a remote control is to buy a new one.
