    Backdrops is not launching after streaming on Disney+

    This is a bit of a grey area as to where to post the issue. Backdrops is set to automatically launch after 30 minutes and seems to work fine except when I stream on Disney+. At night while sleeping I will stream Star Wars Clone Wars episodes on Disney+ the entire night. After so many episodes, Disney+ will stop automatically playing the next episode. I assume this is a built-in operation through their service to save bandwidth or something or other. Anyway, when this occurs and the Roku/Disney+ are idle the Roku screensaver will launch after a couple of minutes but will never launch Backdrops. Is this because Disney+ prevents Backdrops from launching, meaning Backdrops will only launch from the Roku Home Screen and not if some other service has been streaming? Is Disney+ behaving as expected as I have described it? I do have all relevant Roku device settings for saving bandwidth and idling turned off.

    Wallpaper replaced with full-screen ad despite "Sponsored wallpapers" being set to "Off"

    As of today, my selected wallpaper has been replaced by an intrusive full-screen ad for Severance, and this ignores any attempt to change back to my selected wallpaper. Besides the aggravation factor, this poses an accessibility issue for light-sensitive customers. I personally am light-sensitive, and was expecting to see a dark background instead of the very bright ad - triggering a minor tension headache.

    Why am I being flagged for acceptable content on screensavers

    Why am I being flagged for wanting to use a pic of myself at my swimming pool for being shirtless from the chest up. What in the world is inappropriate about that? Are we all going to have to cover up and swim in clothing now or never been seen in public shirtless. Is this the future ROKU is supporting. Get out of my bedroom..

    Themes Aquatic does not work.

    My Brand New Roku device does not allow me to "remove" the default theme packages (wallpapers & screensavers) that have a check mark. I have chosen the Aquatic Life as my screensaver, however, it does not activate no matter what I've done. When I click on the default themes that are checked, the system does not show the option to remove them. Therefore, the ugly wallpaper pops up every time. I've disabled the setting for wallpaper but there are too many wallpapers that show a check mark that won't let me do anything to remove them. It just asks me if I want to activate. If I say yes, I'm still unable to remove it as an option. This is ridiculous and frustrating. My daughter has a roku and their Aquatic Life automatically comes on all the time. Also, within "My Themes" I'm not able to remove all that seems to be checked, which I never added to "My Themes" in the first place. It's like Roku decided to put a bunch of stuff in this folder. Huh? The Roku app does not have an answer for this issue. I've followed their steps but nothing works. Ugh! Hopefully someone out there can help me. Thank you!

    Remove QR code from Photo Streams?

    Is there a way to remove the QR code that displays every few images on Photo Streams? Or a way to send in feedback or a feature request if not? I have an OLED screen and a recurring logo like that kinda defeats the purpose of a screen saver. Plus it completely ruins the image. There is already a way to get the QR code in the Photo Streams menu, I don’t really need to see it every few images. Thank you in advance for any help.

    The Wallpaper Won’t Change!

    I have the same wall issue as you but instead of the theme not changing it’s not showing any themes at all. It’s only showing Roku originals and stuff and I can’t find my original wallpaper pack. It won’t change and it’s getting annoying. So Roku can you please fix this issue.

    My windows 11 laptop won't screen mirror to my Roku TV

    I tried several windows 11 laptops and they all fail after waiting for a context to appear on the Roku. I am an IT professional and tried all previously mentioned solutions. Also I ran not special security software on the test devices.
