    The QR code is 100% coming from the Roku Photo Steams channel itself—superimposed on the images in our photo streams—and there is currently no option to avoid or disable it, regardless of the content of any individual customer’s photo stream.

    As GuyMott said, the QR code appears on every fifth photo displayed in the screensaver.  Below is a photo of my TV’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 “breaks the spell” of the slideshow, like an ad.  Please remove or provide option to disable.

    Thank you for your attention to this issue!

    Best…

      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.

        Sorry, I’m an idiot and got confused about who is Derek and who is Danny.  I was replying (or trying to) to Danny’s request for more info, just like you did.  Anyway, finger’s crossed….
