I found this thread because I'm also trying to figure out how to remove the QR code from the Roku Photo Stream app. I downloaded a bunch of 4K digital artwork to use as a TV screensaver and the ugly QR code in the bottom-right corner totally ruins it.

Feature request - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE provide a toggle option to disable the QR code from the Roku Photo Stream app!

Thanks for the follow up.

I have passed along your concerns to the appropriate Roku team for consideration.


Thanks,

    Here are a couple more photos depicting the QR code that everyone seems to hate. šŸ˜ I appreciate that you guys actively review and consider user feedback!

      The QR code is 100% coming from the Roku Photo Steams channel itselfā€”superimposed on the images in our photo streamsā€”and there is currently no option to avoid or disable it, regardless of the content of any individual customerā€™s photo stream.

      As GuyMott said, the QR code appears on every fifth photo displayed in the screensaver.  Below is a photo of my TVā€™s screen showing one of the images in my photo stream screensaver, with the Roku-imposed QR code in the lower-right corner.  Who needs this?!  It ā€œbreaks the spellā€ of the slideshow, like an ad.  Please remove or provide option to disable.

      Thank you for your attention to this issue!

      Bestā€¦

        Yea, I know... that's why I've submitted this request to Roku to have it removed. I don't work for Roku. I'm a user like you.
