Frequently asked questions about Roku status
Is Roku down right now?
Check the official support page and API Status Check, which links the official status page alongside community outage reports. If both show issues, Roku is likely experiencing an outage.
Why is my Roku app not working?
App failures can be caused by local network issues or platform-wide outages. Try restarting the device and checking the status page.
How do I know if it's my Wi-Fi or Roku?
Try accessing the internet on another device. If other devices work but Roku doesn't, the issue is likely with the Roku device or service.

This usually indicates that the device cannot communicate with the Roku servers. This happens during outages or DNS failures.
