How to: Install Lynx Hospitality TV Screensaver for Roku

This article details the steps to install and configure the Lynx Hospitality TV Software Screensaver for Roku TV and Roku Streaming Player.

Benefits of installing Lynx Hospitality TV Screensaver for Roku

Roku OS does not allow apps to redirect button assignments on the Roku remote control, so when guests press the "Home" button, "Back" button, or any dedicated app-launcher buttons, the TV will close the Lynx Hospitality Software app.

With this in mind, we have created a Roku screensaver to encourage guests to reopen the Lynx app. You can see instructions on how to install and configure the Lynx screensaver below.
