A board is missing from the Roku board chooser

Roku intentionally lists only boards that are both published and not archived; Save creates a draft but Publish creates playable content.

What you may be seeing

  • Roku says to publish a board, shows no choices, or omits the board you expected.

What usually causes it

  • The board was saved but never published.
  • The board is archived.
  • Roku is signed into a different Canvas Relay workspace.

Do this

  1. In the web app, open the board and press Publish; verify its card shows a feed version instead of 'not published yet'.
  2. If it is archived, unarchive it from Boards.
  3. On Roku, press Right to confirm the current account/workspace, then return to the chooser and press OK to refresh when prompted.

You know it is fixed when

  • The published, non-archived board appears in Roku and can be assigned with OK.

Worth knowing

  • Archived and unpublished boards remain editable on the web but are hidden from native Roku choices to prevent blank playback.
