Airplay Not Working on Roku! How To Fix?

Can anyone help me figure out why AirPlay isn't working on my Roku? I've tried a few things, but it's still not connecting. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
 
AirPlay issues on Roku are typically network or settings-related. To fix them:
  • Check Network: Ensure both your Apple device and Roku are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Toggle AirPlay: On Roku, go to Settings > AirPlay & HomeKit and confirm AirPlay is ON.
  • Restart Devices: Restart your Roku, Apple device, and Wi-Fi router to clear temporary glitches.
 
If AirPlay does not function on your Roku, the initial step should be to verify that your Roku as well as iPhone/Mac are connected to the same Wi, Fi network and that AirPlay is enabled in the settings on your Roku under Apple AirPlay and HomeKit. It is advisable to then restart both devices, update the system on Roku if available, and make a new connection attempt. In case the problem persists even after these steps, you should reboot your router and check that no firewall or network issues are preventing the AirPlay from working.
 
When AirPlay is malfunctioning on Roku, first confirm that both your Roku and Apple devices are on the same Wi, Fi network. Next, ensure that AirPlay is turned on in the Roku settings (Settings > Apple AirPlay and HomeKit), and both your Roku OS and iOS/macOS are updated. After that, reboot your two devices as well as the router. In case the problem persists, perform a network settings reset on the Roku and also try turning off AirPlay and then turning it on again.
 
If AirPlay isn’t working on Roku, update Roku OS, enable Settings > Apple AirPlay & HomeKit, restart both devices, ensure they’re on the same Wi-Fi, and turn off any VPN.
 
To resolve AirPlay on your Roku, it is recommended to follow the next steps:

  • Toggle AirPlay: Click on Settings, Apple AirPlay and HomeKit and make sure that AirPlay is On.
  • Sync Networks: Make sure that both the devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Restart Everything: restart your router, Roku, and Apple device.
  • Enable Fast Start: In the settings, select the System and turn on Fast TV Start.
