Set Up a Shortcut to Angel on Your Roku Remote

Roku remotes come with shortcut buttons that instantly launch popular apps—but what if you could set one of those buttons to take you straight to Angel? In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to customize your Roku remote, so you can jump into uplifting entertainment with just one press.

Step 1: Check Your Remote for Customizable Buttons

Before you dive into customizing your Roku remote, it’s important to confirm that you have the right remote model. Not all Roku remotes feature customizable shortcut buttons, so take a moment to check. Look for a remote with the 1 and 2 buttons, which allow you to assign your own shortcuts. Alternatively, your remote may have a button with a rocket ship icon—this is a quick-launch button, and it works the same way as the 1 and 2 buttons for customization.

The following Roku remotes include these options:

• Roku Streambar Pro

• Roku Streaming Stick 4K+

• Roku Ultra

• Roku Voice Remote Pro

If your remote doesn’t have these buttons, don’t worry! Some of these remotes are available separately for purchase. When shopping for a new remote, be sure to look for one with a 1, 2, or rocket ship button, and check the product description to confirm it has a customizable shortcut feature. Once you’re sure you have the right remote, you’re all set to move on to the next step and customize your shortcut button!

Step 2: Use the Microphone Feature to Launch Angel

Now that you have the right remote, it’s time to set up your shortcut! First, make sure the Angel app is already installed on your Roku. If you don’t have it yet, you can easily find and install it from the Roku Channel Store.

Once you’ve confirmed the app is installed, press the microphone button on your Roku remote. This will activate the voice command feature. Then, simply say, “Launch Angel Studios”. Your Roku will automatically recognize the command and open the app for you.

Step 3: Set the Customizable Button

Once your Roku has opened Angel after you use the voice command, it’s time to assign the shortcut to your remote. To do this, press and hold the 1, 2, or rocket ship button on your Roku remote. A pop-up will appear on your screen with options to customize the button. Look for the option that says, “Last voice command” or something similar, and select it.

This will link your customizable button to the Angel app! So the next time you press that button, it will open the app instantly, giving you quick access to all your favorite uplifting content.

If you ever want to change your shortcut or reset it to something else, you can easily do so by following these same steps. Just press and hold the customizable button again, and update the command to whatever you’d like.

Whether you’re exploring new content or revisiting old favorites, your Roku remote is now a personal shortcut to Angel, ready to bring you inspiration with just one click!
