Re: Youtube app goes black after a few seconds
Hi @rammy304,
We extend our warm welcome here in the Roku Community!
You're doing a great job troubleshooting the issue you are experiencing with the YouTube channel. After attempting the troubleshooting steps, videos from other channels play fine. In that case, we suggest contacting the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. The channel developers themselves maintain channels on Roku. In this case, an issue within that specific channel likely needs to be addressed with an update from them.
If there's anything else that we can do to help you, please let us know.
Best regards,
John
