Understood, thanks, but...

This is from the Comcast  xFinity sites:

Why are some models not supported?
Not all device models meet the minimum hardware requirements for the Xfinity Stream app. We're working with equipment manufacturers to bring the Xfinity Stream app to more devices and models.

To find and download the Xfinity Stream app in the Google Play Store or Amazon App stores, your device must be running Android 5.0 or later. Any smartphone or tablet running Android 4 or earlier is not supported.

Supported Xfinity Stream App Versions

Please note: Chromecast with GoogleTV is a standard device that is using Android 10.

Thanks for your reply


only the Roku and the partner devices (TVs from LG, Samsung, and others added later) have the stream beta. the mention of android OS is for smart devices.

your terms of service (terms and conditions) have you agree to not use other than approved devices., and Google TV is not an authorized device. however from a smart device you can stream to the Chromecast device.

@f24a19 Thanks so much for reaching out to us. I am so glad to hear that you are interested on using our stream app on some of your other devices. It is one of my favorite features that we have available and I use our stream app all of the time to view my programming and recordings. This app is available to use with Chromecast. You can find out how to use it through this link https://comca.st/3tA7ZWy

I no longer work for Comcast.
