Note: Since Youtube doesn't support posting m3u8 videos, posting such videos from MAZ dashboard to YouTube also doesn't work. Since Vimeo and JWPlayer also give us m3u8 videos, those feeds cannot be added to the YouTube channel.

Publish your MRSS feeds to Roku Direct Publisher, Roku's very own video aggregation platform. You can publish your videos directly into the environment and get instant visibility. Learn more about Roku Direct.

Note this is different from launching your own OTT app with Roku and you will only be able to have one active at a time, enabling Roku Direct Publisher will disable Roku Channel.
