How to Install & Watch Xfinity on FireStick Quickly

This guide explains how to install and watch Xfinity on FireStick. These steps work on all Amazon Fire TV devices, including FireStick, FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and other Android devices. Before we look at the installation process, let’s see what the app offers and why it’s worth it.

What Is Xfinity?

Xfinity, commonly known as Xfinity Stream, is an app that lets you stream live broadcast TV channels, cable channels, popular TV shows, movies, and cloud recordings.

It is exclusive to Xfinity TV and Internet customers. Users can access the content their package provides.

For instance, if your Xfinity TV subscription offers sports and video-on-demand (VOD) content, you can stream the same content through the app. Similarly, if your subscription only offers video-on-demand content, you cannot stream live TV and sports content through the app.

Besides streaming, Xfinity Stream lets you rent or purchase content to watch on your FireStick. Moreover, you can download content for offline watching and streaming and download cloud digital video recorder (DVR) recordings.

However, not all content is downloadable. Select Available for download on the filter menu to learn which content is available.

Furthermore, due to its limited storage capacity, I do not recommend downloading content on FireStick.

For FireStick Users

ISPs, hackers, and other third-party entities worldwide may monitor your online activities. For security, privacy, and smooth streaming, it is recommended to use a reliable VPN for FireStick. Your IP address is visible to sites you visit.

I recommend ExpressVPN, a fast and secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

How to Use Xfinity on FireStick

If you intend to use Xfinity frequently, I recommend creating a shortcut on your FireStick home screen. Our full guide to creating home screen shortcuts provides a detailed step-by-step process for achieving that.

When you open the app, the first thing to do is allow it to access the photos, media, and files on your FireStick. After that, click Get Started, which leads to a page containing a URL and an authorization code.

Open a browser on your phone, tablet, or laptop and visit the provided URL address https://xfinity.com/authorize. Enter the authorization code and tap Continue.

When you tap “continue,” the link leads to a sign-in page. Enter your Xfinity ID and password to sign in to your Xfinity account. You can now start streaming content on your FireStick through Xfinity Stream.

The Xfinity app on FireStick has a simple user interface and well-organized sections. When you sign in to the app, you’ll see two categories on the home screen: Featured and Just Recorded. You can use the remote to scroll through the available content on both categories and select your preferred channels or on-demand videos to start streaming.

Besides the two categories on the home screen, the app has a menu on the left. This menu appears on your remote when you press the menu button (the button with three horizontal lines). The items on this menu include:

For You
Recordings
Scheduled
Favorites
Purchases
Live TV
All Channels
Favorite Channels
TVGo Channels

If what you are looking for is not on the home screen or the main menu, you can use the magnifying glass icon at the top right corner to search for the content. Click on the icon, type in the keyword or phrase, and press the Enter (center) button on your FireStick remote.

The available content and user interface narrow down to your Xfinity TV subscription. Moreover, the menu sections update depending on your streaming activity.
