This phone does not seem to have built-in ability to cast/mirror video? I want to cast/mirror my phone to a Roku.

If you don't have the Roku app on your phone try that:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roku.remote&hl=en
Also, Samsung usually includes the feature in their products. Is there a 'Screen Mirroring' option in your Settings menu? Or the following links might help:

Thx. The Roku app can be used as a remote for the player. It does not do cast/mirror. In this phone, there is no setting/feature. It's probably in higher priced models.

I don't have a Roku to confirm this but in its Play Store page in the feature list it does refer to:
" • Cast videos, photos, and music to your TV using Play on Roku"
Their blog also has refers to screen mirroring:

Miracast from the play store

Are you saying that there is an app that does this?

I just finished reading some of the comments. They suggest that you need a supported phone in order for the app to work?

@Unforgiven (What phone and app are you using?) I just tried the above app. On my Roku, I can the pear icon, Start..., etc. screen, but it does not get any further and then quits.
EDIT: Both my Roku and phone are on the same network. i.e. Connected to the same router. Again, I think this phone does not have Miracast built-in. And, this is why these apps do not work with this phone. These apps are essentially a shortcut - they streamline the process on phones that have Miracast.

I can only suggest All connect, from the play store, but I don't think it mirrors the phone screen.
Your roku needs the app installed also for it to work (Miracast)....
