What is RoByte?
RoByte is a unique Chrome extension designed to convert your Chromebook into a Roku remote control. It requires no setup, as it auto-scans and links to any Roku device on your WiFi network. You can easily switch channels, control power, volume, input, and TV channels, and use your keyboard for fast text and voice capturing on channels like Netflix or Hulu. Also, it allows navigation using a built-in D-pad or touchpad and can be paired with multiple Roku devices. Remember, for connection issues, simply reinstall RoByte.
