Disable the Roku screensaver for unattended signage
Use Roku's Screensaver start time setting; Canvas Relay warns when it is enabled but does not suppress system behavior or fake activity.
What you may be seeing
- A Roku screensaver replaces signage after inactivity, or Canvas Relay displays a screensaver warning.
What usually causes it
- Roku's system Screensaver start time is enabled.
Do this
- Press Home on the Roku remote.
- Open Settings > Theme > Screensaver start time > Disable.
- Reopen Canvas Relay. It refreshes the setting and removes the warning when Roku reports zero timeout.
You know it is fixed when
- No Canvas Relay screensaver warning is visible and signage remains on during the previous idle interval.
Worth knowing
- Canvas Relay intentionally does not call screensaver-suppression APIs, send fake key presses, or hide background playback as a keepalive.
