Thanks for sharing your input, @Emissary35.
Please be aware that we don't have access to the operating system of the standalone channels and how their app works as they are the ones who provided, maintained, and updated their app on the Roku streaming platform.
So with issues like this, it will be highly effective to directly reach out to the channel provider themselves, which in this case, the YouTube app, and let them know about having to sign into your account every time you open the channel as their app may need an update from them.
You can contact them on their official Support page.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope you get everything sorted out soon and appreciate you bearing with us in the meantime.
Best regards,
Carly
