Thank you, Conrad, and thanks everyone for joining us today. Roku delivered another record year in 2021. We have an enormous opportunity in front of us that we expect to capture. We have built and continue to expand a set of unique assets for this purpose. These include the Roku operating system, the Roku channel, and our sophisticated streaming ad platform. Our scale is past 60 million active accounts, and we remain focused on being the best and largest streaming platform. The Roku operating system is poised to gain further market share as TVs shift away from costly proprietary operating systems. We expect manufacturers who want a best-in-class operating system to choose the Roku OS, which is purpose-built for TV. The Roku channel continues to gain momentum. Free ad supported services are the fastest growing segment in TV streaming. In just four years, we built a flywheel that propelled the Roku channel to a top five position on our platform in the US. This success is a result of combining a robust content portfolio with our ability to send consumers to the Roku channel with superior content marketing and advertising features. Our ad platform is built for TV streaming. We believe large, traditional TV advertisers will continue to shift to Roku for the targeting, measurement, optimization, and superior ROI that we provide. And for digital-first advertisers and small and medium businesses, Roku makes advertising on TV more accessible. We remain focused on maximizing our competitive differentiators, extending our industry leadership, and driving growth, both in the US and internationally. With that, let me hand the call over to Steve.
