There is a youtube app you can load onto your Roku. &nbsp;I believe other than that, Youtube's policies do not allow you to serve youtube video via a Roku channel and Youtube has technology in place to prevent you from doing it. &nbsp;Although I may be mistaken about this, maybe someone else can confirm or deny.
