Looking for an easy way out to watch on-demand movies and TV shows of high quality? Then I recommend Primewire. However, Roku users must know that the Primewire app is not available on the Roku Channel Store.
However, the free service can be accessed on Roku by following various alternative measures. Let’s see how to do them in the following review.
Is Primewire Safe to Use?
The Primewire service is safe to use on various devices. However, the ads on the website can be invasive and may harm your devices. So, as a precaution, I recommend you get a NordVPN subscription to protect your device from internet threats.
How to Access Primewire on Roku
As the Primewire app is not available on the Roku Channel Store, screen mirroring is the best choice for you. To do this,
- Connect your Roku to a WIFI and your casting device to the same network.
- Enable AirPlay on Roku. (Only for iPhone and Mac users)
- Turn on Screen Mirroring on Roku. (For Android and Windows users)
1. Open a browser on your PC/Mobile and visit the Primewire official website.
2. Choose any genre or search a movie or web series using the search field.
3. Select your desired content from the website and play it on your device.
4. Now do the following:
- Android: Open Notification Panel > Click on Cast.
- iPhone: Open Control Center > Tap on Screen Mirroring.
- Windows: Press Windows + K on your keyboard.
- Mac: Open Control Center on Mac > Choose Screen Mirroring.
5. From the list of active devices, choose your Roku TV/Streaming Stick.
