Need to play YouTube videos in my channel.

Question

I want to play YouTube videos on my Roku channel using a YouTube video link. Is it possible? Could you please suggest? I also have knowledge of Deep linking to play YouTube video, but I want to play the video within my own app.

I'm pretty sure that would violate Youtube/Google's TOS and therefore probably Roku's as well.

If you are the content/copyright owner, you can move the videos to another CDN and stream them from the new location.&nbsp; You'll need to recode each video with a tool like Nero Video.If, however, you are not the content owner, you must acquire permission from the content owner to stream their video content.&nbsp; Then, you'll need to follow the steps above.I have successfully obtained permission (from my content owners) and moved videos to a CDN for streaming.

You need the owners permission even for creative common videos on youtube?&nbsp; I thought you just had to attribute the content owner (credit)

MrStreamr&nbsp;I am not a law professional, but, if I were in your situation, I would make sure that I had complete permission to stream content that I did not own.&nbsp; Especially, if you plan to monetize the channel.
