so they can no longer be installed

or used on Roku devices.

In their place, Roku has introduced beta channels,

which lets developers test channels

before certifying them for the Roku channel store.

Beta channels expire after 120 days,

and only 20 users can install it at one time.

In a web browser, open the Roku website

and log in to your account.

Then open your account page.

In the "Manage account" section,

click "Add channel with a code."

Then enter the code for the beta channel

and click "I'm not a robot."

Then click "Add channel."

Roku will give you a warning

about how this is a non-certified channel.

Click "OK,"

then click "Yes, add channel."

The channel will be added to your account

and will now appear with all the other installed channels

on your Roku home screen.
