I have been using YouTube on my Roku for quite a long time. Unfortunately, I am seeing YouTube screen going black after every few seconds while playing videos. However, the preview plays without any issues. When I click to play the exact video, all I see is a black screen with no sound.Â
Doubting if the issue is with my Roku or YouTube app, I opened Netflix, and I found it working with no issues. While I could see YouTube Roku app has the problem, I am not sure of what to do to fix it up.
Actually, the issue may be with both your Roku and the YouTube app. First, you need to check for app updates. Update the app to the latest version and check whether the screen goes black while playing videos.
If the problem persists, you need to troubleshoot the Roku device by restarting or updating it. Now, check for the black screen problem.
Still, if your YouTube streaming is interrupted by a black screen, the final method to try is to uninstall and reinstall the YouTube app. It is one of the effective ways to fix the issues on the YouTube app.
Let me know if these fixes help you resolve the problem on YouTube.
