After upgrading my MacBook Air M1 Xfinity Stream stopped working. It never presents the login screen. This is also the behavior on my iPad.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6
MacOS 12.0 and above has a glitch in the way it caches websites. This is due to the newish "Continuity" features built into MacOS. The OS sees your other AirPlay devices (for example, iPad) and considers them as a second display or secondary audio output. With many streaming sites, multi-display, and multiple sound outputs are not allowed. So in the instance of Xfinity/Stream.com the site can't determine if there is a second display connected or not. Easiest fix that won't change your system settings or workflow is to delete the website data connected to Xfinity prior to trying to 'Watch TV Online' with a web browser. Deleting this data will force the site to reload and ask you to login again. Log-in and it should stream fine. (Until you connect to a second display or AirPlay device again.) A more permanent fix, If you don't use the continuity stuff, is to turn those options off in Settings>Displays>Advanced>Link to Mac or iPad.
I suspect the "automatically reconnect to any nearby Mac or iPad" setting is the cause of this issue.
Thanks but that did not correct the issue for me.
Thank you. It is still not working for me
you don’t download an app to watch it on a laptop. That’s the issue we folks in this are having. Not an app issue at all.
I'm not referring to the app. All of these instructions refer to the Xfinity website on a Chrome browser on a Macbook Air.
shoot, I read that wrong and missed a key word in the last sentence, sorry!
thanks again. That doesn't work for me
thank you for the suggestion. That did not work for me
Did you get this resolved? I'm having the same issue
no resolution as far as I know
Wow, that works for me now. I tried this a month ago and it didn't work.
thanks for the tip
This works! close your browser after doing this, and restart it. Thank you!!
I'm having the same issue... anyone find a fix... I've tried Chrome and Safari and all I get is a loading screen for Xfinity stream.
BINGO! Thank you! I would never have figured that out. I have a drawing tablet hooked up to my iMac and after reading your response, I turned on the tablet and the Xfinity video stream appeared!
Any fix for Xfinity Stream not working on Safari 16 and MacOS 12.6?
