Plex has launched a dedicated Preview channel for Roku users dissatisfied with recent UI changes that removed the convenient sidebar for switching between free streaming content and personal media libraries. The new app addresses navigation complaints while maintaining the modern redesign.
How to Install Plex Preview on Roku
- Visit the My Roku sign-in page and log into your account
- Navigate to the Add App page
- Enter plexpreview in the app access code field
- Select Add App and confirm on the warning pop-up
- Choose Yes, add app
If the app doesn’t appear on your home screen, force an update via Settings > System > System Update.
Plex Addresses User Feedback
Plex acknowledges the frustration caused by the redesigned interface but commits to the top navigation approach. The Preview channel balances modern clarity with the speed users expect:
- Faster navigation and streamlined performance
- Restored intuitive flow between content libraries
- Unified design language emphasizing panels
- Consistent experience across Plex platforms
Share Feedback with Plex Developers
Plex encourages Preview users to post feedback on the official Plex forums, tagging posts with “roku” for maximum visibility. The company values community input similar to Google’s Pixel Superfan program, using it to refine the Roku experience further.
