YouTube chat box doesn’t show colors

I used to have different colors to designate moderators, members and bots in YouTube chat but those are gone. Even channels that I am a payed member of don’t show my name or ranking in color or at all. They still show up on my phone, but not on Roku.

  • I have a similar problem on AppleTV and LGTV as well as Roku.  The common denominator is that it only does it on TV apps and on my promotional second account where a use a nickname instead of my real name.  Really strange.

  • Yes!  This same exact thing happened to me 3 days ago too and it's driving me nuts.  I hope someone has an answer for this.
