I'd like to know if ROKU works in Africa. Not concerned about available channels, but functions, internationally. If so, which African countries can ROKU work in?
Roku is officially supported here:
That's it. Apps outside those counties may or may not work, depending on if the developer decides to support a Roku app in a country where Roku itself isn't supported. Most don't, though a few do.

Hi @mister1031,
Welcome to the Roku Community!
Currently, Roku players are not officially marketed or sold to that country, but your Roku player should work fine in any country. Although some channels and content may work there, others will have geo-restrictions that prevent them from working, but you can count on Netflix and YouTube working just about anywhere. Also, keep in mind that the Roku Mobile app is not available now in your region.
Thanks for your interest and we hope to expand our presence soon.
Best regards,
Mary

Can I take my Roku streaming stick with me to Aruba and watch TV on it?
Hello @bkejenki
Thanks for posting here in the Community.
Channel availability/access on Roku devices will vary from region to region. A Roku device will work in any location, however, channels may not be available on your device in that location, based on each channel provider's discretion. For more information, you'd want to contact any specific channel/service provider to inquire further about whether they offer their channel/service on the Roku platform in your region.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other concerns.
Regards,
Karla
