How to Install Xfinity Stream App on Firestick? The Xfinity Stream app allows you to stream on-demand shows and movies as well as live TV channels included with your Xfinity subscription. You can also use the app to record programming on your Xfinity TV box and then retrieve it from anywhere.

You can use the Stream app if you have an Xfinity Internet and TV subscription. Here's how to get it working on a Fire TV Stick.

Where Can I Watch Xfinity Stream?

Xfinity Stream is available on a variety of devices. You can use the Xfinity TV box to access it, but you can also use an Amazon Fire TV device, an LG Smart TV, or a Roku to download the app.

Smart TVs from companies like Toshiba, the Fire TV Recast, and the Fire TV Cube are all examples of Amazon Fire TV devices. The Amazon Fire TV Stick, a dongle that converts any TV into a Smart TV by allowing you to add apps and stream video, is also available.

Purchasing a Fire TV Stick is one of the most cost-effective ways to have access to Xfinity Stream and other streaming services. It's also a good alternative if you want to start watching on-demand material while waiting for your Xfinity TV box to arrive.

Xfinity Stream Installation

On your Fire TV Stick, you may search for apps in a variety of ways. Here's how to find and install the Xfinity Stream app.

In the App Categories: Another option for getting the Xfinity Stream app on your Fire TV Stick is to use the Amazon Appstore. You may find ‘Apps' by navigating to the right of the menu at the top of your screen.

Selecting ‘Apps' will bring up a second, smaller menu at the top of your screen. If you hit ‘Categories,' a new page will appear, allowing you to search for apps by category.

Scroll down to find the ‘Movies & TV' category. This category contains popular streaming apps, including Xfinity Stream, which can be found by scrolling down. To begin installing the app, tap on the Xfinity Stream icon.

Use of voice commands: The fact that your Fire TV Stick comes with an Alexa control is a huge plus. It's a little remote with voice search capabilities.

Simply push the microphone button at the top of the remote layout to activate the microphone. Your remote will listen to your voice commands when you hit this button. Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant, will then display relevant results for your query.

This function is available at all times. It saves you the effort of having to navigate back to your home screen if you want to hunt up a new movie or show to watch when something on your TV is already playing.

Ask Alexa to look for the Xfinity Stream app by pressing the voice button. You can ask Alexa to find this app in a variety of ways, such as:

• ‘Xfinity app.’

• ‘Look for the Xfinity streaming app.’

• ‘Go to Xfinity Stream.’

• ‘Alexa, show me the Xfinity Stream app.’

• ‘Download Xfinity Stream.’

Tip: Once you've installed the Xfinity Stream app on your Firestick, this last voice command will launch it! After you install the Xfinity Stream app, you can also ask Alexa to browse for content. Try saying something like, "Alexa, show me comedies on Xfinity Stream".

Your TV will launch a new screen with search results for your question once you ask Alexa to look for the Xfinity Stream app.

Although not all of the search results will be relevant, the Xfinity Stream app should appear in the top row under ‘Apps & Games.' To begin the download, go to the app icon and click the center button on your remote.

Manually look for Xfinity Stream: If you don't want to use voice search, you can manually search for apps by entering the name of the program you'd like to download.

Navigate left from your home screen to the top menu's search icon. The large circle on your remote can be used to navigate. You can select something by pressing the button in the circle's center.

To choose the search icon, swipe left and tap this button. A new screen will launch, where you can use a virtual keyboard to choose letters and numbers.

Start typing in 'Xfinity Stream' using this keyboard. Subsequently, suggestions will display beneath the virtual keyboard. To save time, choose Xfinity Stream from this list of suggestions.

Your TV will lead you to a screen with search results once you press on this suggestion. The Xfinity Stream app should appear in the first row of results under ‘Apps & Games,' just as it did use the voice search approach. To begin the download, pick the app tile.

How to Get Started on Your Fire TV Stick

You'll be able to open the app from your home screen once your Fire TV Stick has completed downloading it. It should be the most recent item in the row that displays your recently used apps and watched content.

Navigate to the second row, which displays the apps and games you downloaded, to find the Xfinity Stream.

By tapping on the app tile, you may access the Xfinity Stream app. You'll be sent to a log-in screen where you'll be prompted to enter your Xfinity ID and password. The terms of activation must then be accepted.

You'll then be able to visit the Xfinity Stream home screen. Featured content will appear, as well as a side menu from which you may access live TV channels, explore for on-demand entertainment, or watch DVR recordings.

How To Get An Xfinity ID

You might not have an Xfinity ID if you're a new Xfinity internet and TV client. As soon as you sign up for this service, you'll be able to create one.

To get started, go to this page or click sign-in from any page on the Xfinity website to go to a log-in page where you'll find an option to "Create an Xfinity ID." Go to sign-in page: https://idm.xfinity.com/myaccount/create-uid?execution=e1s1

The first step is to decide whether you want to authenticate your identity using your phone number or your Social Security number. If you enter your phone number, you will receive a text message with a code. It's important to note that you must use the same phone number that you used to sign up for Xfinity.

If you choose the SSN option, you'll need to enter the account holder's SSN's last four digits, their date of birth, and the account's phone number.

After that, you can input an email address. You'll get an email with a confirmation link to click in order to link this email address to your Xfinity account. Your Xfinity ID will be based on this email address.

Manage Your Downloading Preferences

You can download your DVR recordings to up to five devices if you have Xfinity internet and TV. On-demand content can also be downloaded to three different devices.

You'll be able to access your DVR recordings from your Fire TV Stick right immediately unless you're already utilizing three or five devices. If you have too many devices, you'll have to manage your download settings in order to access this content on your Fire TV Stick.

On your Fire TV Stick or any other device, open the Xfinity Stream app. In the bottom right corner of your screen, look for the tool symbol. Look for' Settings' when you choose this symbol.

Look for "managed devices." If you have too many devices associated with your account, you'll be taken to a screen where you can remove some of them.

Finding and downloading the Xfinity Stream app on your Fire TV Stick is simple and shouldn't take more than a few minutes. To get the most out of your Xfinity subscription and view on-demand videos and more, follow the steps outlined above.
