GroupHug
Where the whole family gathers, grandma included.
Home movies belong on the big screen, with the family in the room. Quiet, easy, and only ever yours.
A small, private channel for your family's videos and photos, on the television where everyone can gather. Just the people you love. No ads, no algorithm, no strangers.
What grandma sees when she turns on the TV.
Your Family's Channel
Right now your family's best moments are stuck on a phone. The birthday someone filmed. The first wobbly steps. The grandkids growing up a notification at a time, on a screen grandma can't open. The people who'd treasure these the most are the ones who never get to see them.
GroupHug puts them where the whole family can gather: the television. Every family gets its own private channel. Turn on the TV and the week is right there, the way home movies were always meant to be watched. The photos and videos live in storage your family controls, shown to no one outside the circle you choose.
How it works
Three steps. One time.
Step 1
Install on the TV
Add the GroupHug channel from the Roku® Channel Store. The TV is the only thing that has to know how to find your family.
Step 2
Pair from your phone
Scan the QR code or type the six-digit number on screen. Sign in once. Done.
Step 3
Invite your family
Share a short number with relatives. They join your circle. Their photos and videos start landing on the TV.
What you get
Private by default
Only the people you invite ever see a thing. No public profile, no followers, no feed for strangers. Just your family.
Quiet by design
No notifications pulling at anyone. No ads. No algorithm deciding what plays. The TV turns on, and the family is simply there.
Made for the people you love
Built for the grandparents, the cousins, the family group chat that keeps getting muted. The small circle that actually matters.
Lean-back watching
Everyone settles in on the couch and the family is right there on the screen. The remote does the rest. Nothing to sign into, nothing to learn.
Photos and videos together
The recital, this morning's clip, a whole album from the trip. All in one feed, newest first.
Your phone is the remote
Add to the family's library from your phone. Anyone in the circle can share, anyone can keep it tidy.
