Hey @Hasan123

Thanks for letting us know about the issue you're experiencing.

Please be advised that some streaming channels employ their own mechanism to cease data usage after a specific period of inactivity. These features will not be affected when you disable Bandwidth Saver on your Roku. 

We recommend reaching out to YouTube support directly to see if they have any additional settings within their channel that may allow the functionality you are looking for.

You can contact them here: YouTube Support
