Comcast today added AirPlay support to its Xfinity Stream app, allowing Comcast cable subscribers to use AirPlay to stream content from an iPhone or iPad to an Apple TV or other AirPlay-enabled speaker or set-top box.
Comcast says Xfinity customers can stream live news and sports, on-demand movies and shows, DVR recordings and more, giving customers “new ways” to enjoy programming both at home and elsewhere.
The Xfinity Stream app has been available on “Apple TV” since mid-2022, but “AirPlay” support gives Xfinity subscribers a more convenient way to view their content on devices they don’t own, e.g. B. if they are visiting a friend or staying at a hotel has an Apple TV or other AirPlay-enabled device.
When TechCrunch points out that this is a functionality that the Xfinity app has long been missing. Comcast competitor Charter has offered AirPlay support in its Spectrum app for several years.
