It is important to ensure that the Roku device is powered on and connected to the WiFi network before you can do so.
Unfortunately, you cannot download content from Kocowa to watch online, but there are some safe ways around it.
Navigate Home
After ensuring you have a strong WiFi connection, it is time to go to the home screen on your Roku device.
You can do so by grabbing a Roku remote and pressing the button with the house symbol located toward the top of the remote.
You can do this on the Roku app under the remote control section if you do not have a remote.
Select Streaming Channels
Once you have reached the home app, you will need to look for the section labeled “Streaming Channels” as soon as you have opened it.
This button will open up your options to bring you to the channel section via the Roku store.
This store houses the KOCOWA app and hundreds of other streaming channel apps you can choose from.
Search For The App
You will now need to use the on-screen keyboard and remote control to navigate to the search bar inside the Streaming Channels storefront.
The search bar is where there’s a magnifying glass.
Some of the newer Roku devices come with smart assistant technology or a remote with a voice button that accepts voice commands.
You can say the name of the app you are searching for or ask Alexa or Google to find the app for you if you do not want to take the time to go in and manually type the name in the search box with the remote.
Add Channel
Once you have successfully searched for the KOCOWA app, it is time to download it. After selecting it, a download button will appear.
Select it with the Roku remote and allow it to install. This process can take anywhere from two to ten minutes, depending on the strength of your WiFi connection.
Once the app has successfully downloaded, you can go into it, log in and start enjoying the many K-dramas available on the platform.
