Hey everyone,

We know some of you are running into an issue with the YouTube app – it’s going black during playback.

Status update (2/27): We're investigating this and working on a fix with our channel partner.

If you're having this issue, could you help us out by providing the following details?

• Your Roku device info (DID and OS build) – found in Settings > System > About
• Your Tracker ID (press Home 5 times, then Back 5 times)
• The YouTube app version (Open the YouTube app > Settings > App Version; send us a screenshot)
• Exact behavior & when it happens (Does it happen during playback or when an ad starts?)
• Is this happening on other apps like Netflix or Prime?
• Is there any way to recover or fix the issue on your own?
• Does this happen when an ad starts or another time?

To keep things organized, we'll mark this post as solved for visibility and as a reference for other users.

Your info will help us get this sorted!

Thanks,
The Roku Community Team
