Before uploading your Roku channel build, you must verify the email address linked to your Roku developer account. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
- Log in to Your Roku Developer Account: Visit the Roku Developer Dashboard and log in with your developer credentials.
- Go to “My Channels”: Navigate to the “My Channels” section within your Roku Developer Account, or click on the “Dashboard” and then on the “My Channels” or “Beta Channels”.
- Select Your Roku Channel: Find your specific Roku channel and click on it. If you don’t have one, you can create a channel, and give it a name.
- Access “Channel package”: Once you’ve selected your channel, click the “Channel package” link in the bottom right section of the page.

- Send Verification Email: Click on the option to send a verification email. Roku will send an email to the address associated with your developer account.
- Verify Email: Check your email inbox for the email from Roku and click on the verification link to confirm your email address.
- Link a Roku Device: After verifying your email, you will need to link a Roku device. This means logging into your Roku device/TV using your Roku developer account email. You can either buy a new device or reset your existing Roku device to factory settings (note: this will remove all existing channels on your device). Here’s how to do it:
- Go to setting on your Roku device/TV
- Then system
- Then advanced system settings
- Then Factory reset
- Once the reset is complete, it will ask you to log in. Use the same email that you used to create your Roku developer account.
