How to stream on streamer

How do I start streaming?

Now, here’s the step-by-step process of streaming TV in your home. Just three quick steps, and you’ll be watching all the movies and TV shows your heart desires.

 

1. Connect your smart TV or streaming device

First thing’s first: set up your smart TV or streaming device. (Duh, right?)

If you chose the device route, switch your TV to the correct input for your device after you’ve plugged your device in. Then follow the instructions on your screen to get you to the homepage where all of your applications live.

Don't worry if you don't see your favorite streaming service on your screen. Some devices require you to go to their "Store" or "Channels" app to download the streaming apps you'd like on your home screen.

2. Connect to the internet

While you’re setting up your device or smart TV, you might have already been asked to connect to your internet. If not, do so now under Settings. Then click on an app to make sure you’ve successfully connected.

3. Download, sign up, and sign in to streaming apps

Smart TVs usually have all of the popular apps on the homepage. Devices, such as Apple TV, allow you to customize your layout so you must go into the Apple Store and download the apps you want.

Then launch the streaming apps and sign up or sign in.

Once you’ve done so, you can start watching Bridgerton while you cook, put on Encanto for the kiddos, or watch The Blind Side with the family on Saturday night.

Streaming on your smartphone

If you’re wanting to stream on your iPhone or Android smartphone, we recommend an unlimited data plan so you can stream as much as you’d like without worries.

It’s also the future. No one wants to be stuck on a one-hour train ride without being able to watch Star Trek: Picard.

Our best unlimited data cell phone plans include Visible Wireless (best value), Xfinity Mobile (best bundle), Mint Mobile (best price), and T-Mobile (best performance).
