It is a Roku feature that anyone with a free Roku account can use to create digital albums or Photo Streams to share with others. After a Photo Stream is created and photos are uploaded, an email invitation can be sent to family and friends, allowing them to view the images and potentially add their own. Owners who do not want to allow others to upload pictures to their stream can easily set member permissions to "view only."
Photo Streams help you share special moments with others by letting you:
- Create up to 10 Photo Streams in your Roku account
- Upload as many as 100 photos to each stream in JPG, PNG, HEIC, and WEBP formats
- Note: A stream may not allow 100 photos if the storage limit for the Roku account has been exceeded.
- Invite up to 25 family members or friends to join each stream
- Join an unlimited number of streams where loved ones have invited you to upload photos
If you have a Roku TV or Roku streaming player, you can view any Photo Stream you are a member of on your TV. Simply open the Photo Streams channel and start a slideshow or select Photo Streams as the screensaver and choose the desired streams to include.

We hope this helps.
