I don't need instructions; take me directly to activating the Xfinity Stream app on Roku.

Activate the Xfinity Stream app on Roku

1. Open the app from the Xfinity Channel in the Roku Channel Store and choose Sign In.
   • Note: You can find the Channel Store on the home screen of any Roku device by going to the Streaming Channels section in the left menu.
     
     
     
     
2. You’ll see the Activation Code screen on your Roku or Roku-connected device. Go to xfinity.com/authorize from another device (like a mobile phone, tablet or desktop – not from your Roku).
   
   
   
   
3. From the web browser, enter the six-digit code provided from the Roku device.
   
   
   
   
4. Enter your Xfinity ID and password, then select Sign In.
   
   
   
   
5. You'll see a Success! message. The screen of your Roku or Roku-connected device will soon update.
   
   
   
   
6. The Terms of Activation will load on your Roku-connected device or Roku TV. Scroll to read the terms and select Yes to accept and continue. If you select No Thanks, the activation process will restart.
   • Terms of Activation if You Have Cloud DVR
     
     
     
     
   • Terms of Activation if You Don't Have Cloud DVR
     
     
     
     
7. Name your device and select Confirm.

Note: If you are experiencing issues activating the Xfinity Stream app on Roku and have two or more linked Xfinity accounts, you may receive the following message: "Welcome! This device can only access Xfinity Stream on your in-homeXfinity WiFi. Use the app on your smartphone, tablet or laptop to watch on the go any time you like. Error TVAPP-00101."

To fix this, go to customer.xfinity.com/settings/account/linked-accounts and choose the account you wish to activate your Roku device from by selecting the Make This Primary option. Go to How to link, unlink and switch between multiple accounts for instructions on how to set the right default/primary account.

If you're experiencing issues with watching Xfinity Stream content on your Roku after activation, see Xfinity Stream app minimum requirements to learn more about other compatible devices you can use instead.
