We have several tvs with ROKU devices in our stake center. Now that we do not have satellite internet I would like to use the roku to receive general conference and other broadcasts in spanish, ASL, etc. Is this possible? I could not see a way to do it in the latterdaysaints channel. Last time I ended up using a laptop but seems like there should be a way to do this. Perhaps youtube? but is there a dedicated spanish language youtube channel for the church I can subscribe to?

General Conference is broadcast to YouTube in more than 30 languages (different official YouTube channels).
How can someone locate the feed for a language they don't speak? For example, how can I find the Tongan feed?

There isn't a comprehensive list of official Church YouTube channels anywhere on the Church website that I could find. Part of what makes it complicated is that some YouTube channels are managed by Church areas, rather than being fully "official" (managed by Church headquarters). I have my own list that I've been gathering gradually. It's incomplete and not very organized, but it might be better than nothing:

Thanks for the info. Sadly, I'm not seeing the channel I need. I'm wanting a YouTube "live feed" so I can run like a "tape delay" broadcast.
I've used the one for English, but I also need one for Tongan.

Here are the Tongan live streams from this last conference:

It was on the German channel this year (I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure if it's consistent each conference – if I had to guess, I'd say that maybe they try to keep the live streams on the headquarters-managed channels, rather than the area channels, and they don't have headquarters-managed channels for all languages).
It definitely wouldn't hurt to send feedback requesting that the YouTube links be posted all in one place next conference.
