Resolve common app loading, playback, and sign-in issues on supported devices. These general steps may help you narrow down the issue before contacting the service provider.

Before you start: Keep your equipment model and any error message handy. Never share your password, one-time verification code, or full payment details with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.

Steps to try

  1. Check that your device is connected to a stable internet connection and other apps can load.
  2. Close the Xfinity Stream app completely, reopen it, and check whether an update is available.
  3. Restart the streaming device or smart TV, then try the app again.
  4. If video buffers, test closer to the router or use a wired connection if your device supports it.
  5. If the issue continues, note the device model and error message, then check official Xfinity app support.
Good to know: App availability and features can vary by device, location, and subscription.
