Navigate Canvas Relay with the Roku remote

Playback uses OK for boards, Right for Account, and Back to exit; chooser/account screens add Up/Down, OK, Back, and Roku Pay shortcuts.

What you may be seeing

  • You need to switch boards, change workspace, sign out, open Roku Pay, return to playback, or exit the app.

What usually causes it

  • The signage surface intentionally has minimal permanent chrome, so navigation starts with remote buttons.

Do this

  1. During playback, press OK for published boards, Right for Account/workspaces, or Back to exit Canvas Relay.
  2. In the board chooser, use Up/Down to select, OK to assign/play, Right for Account, * for Roku Pay, and Back to return.
  3. In Account, use Up/Down and OK to choose a workspace or Sign out; Back returns and * opens Roku Pay.

You know it is fixed when

  • The selected board resumes playback and remains the default on the next launch.

Worth knowing

  • The Options (*) button is not consumed over unobscured native video because Roku reserves it for system behavior; open Roku Pay from a visible chooser/account surface.
