How to Invite Zype to Access Your Roku Developer Account

Create a Roku Developer Account

Step 1: Navigate to the Roku Developer and follow the instructions to create an account.

Step 2: Add Roku Payment Information to your account.

Step 3: Your developer account must be connected to a Roku device. If you want to link an existing Roku device to your Roku Developer Account, you can either factory reset it (located under Options > System > Advanced system settings > Factory reset) or buy a new Roku device. To link your developer account to a Roku device, simply login to the Roku device with the same email as your developer account. Please leave this Roku device dedicated to this account.

Step 4: To Verify your Roku Developer Account, navigate to Manage My Channels to receive this verification email. Select Developer SDK, provide your channel name, and then select Continue.

Step 5: Open the Properties drop-down and select Package Upload.

Step 6: Click the Send verification email button to trigger. You will now need to navigate to your email inbox to verify the email and follow the instructions provided in that email. Your account should now be verified.
