Questions buyers ask us
Can you rebuild a Roku channel built by a platform vendor?
Yes. Many media companies move off template platforms to own their Roku app. We plan the move in discovery so viewers and subscriptions carry over.
Do you handle Roku certification?
Yes. We build to Roku’s certification requirements from the start and take the channel through review.
Can you add ads to our Roku channel?
Yes, with the Roku Advertising Framework or server-side ad insertion, depending on your ad stack.
