Photo Streams lets our users share their photos with family and friends in different locations and customize their Roku experience with a personalized screensaver. Roku is committed to providing a safe and secure experience with this exciting feature by proactively monitoring uploaded media with artificial intelligence and flagging content that violates community guidelines. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in content being deleted, your Roku account being disabled, or other account restrictions.
