How to hide or show shortcuts on your Roku® streaming device
Shortcuts appear as tiles at the bottom of the channel grid on the Home screen of your Roku streaming player or Roku TV™. Each shortcut provides a convenient way to perform common tasks, typically in less steps. For example, you can select the 'Add Channels' shortcut to jump directly to the Roku Channel Store and browse streaming channels to add to your Roku device without needing to navigate there manually.
